Question

The number of integral terms in the expansion of (51/2+71/81024, is

Moderate
Solution

The general term Tr+1 in the expansion of

(51/2+71/81024 is given by

          Tr+1=1024Cr51/21024r71/8r Tr+1=1024Cr5512r/27r/8 Tr+1= 1024Cr5512r5r/27r/8 Tr+1= 1024Cr5512r54×7r/8

clearly, Tr+1 will be an integer, if

r/8 is an integer such that 0r1024

  r is a multiple of 8 lying satisfying 0r1024

 r=0 ,8 ,16 ,,1024

  r can assume 129 values 

Hence, there are 129  integral terms in the expansions of  

(51/2+71/81024
