Binomial theorem for positive integral Index

Question

The number of terms which are free from radical signs in the expansion of y1/5+x1/1055, is

Moderate
Solution

The general term in the expansion of y1/5+x1/1055

s given by 

Tr+1 =55Cr y1/555rx1/10r=55C ry11r/5xr/10

clearly, Tr+1 will be independent of radical signs if r/5 and

r/10 are integers, where 0r55.

r=0 ,10 ,20 ,30 ,40 ,50

Hence, there are 6 `terms in the expansion of the

 given expression which are independent of radicals.
