Find the coefficient of x15 in the expansion of  (x – x2)10

 

Answers (1)

Given: (x – x2)10

Thus, Tr+1 = 10Cr x10-r(-x2)r

                 = (-1)r 10Crx10-rx2r

                 = (-1)r 10Crx10+r

Now, for coefficient of x15

We have,

10 + r = 15

Thus, r = 5

Thus, T5+1 = (-1)5.10C5x15

Therefore,

Coefficient of x15 = -10x9x8x7x6x5!/5x4x3x2x1x5!

                              = -252
