Question
Class 11MathematicsBinomial Theorem

Find the term in the expansion of (x + 1/x)12 which will be constant.

 

Verified Answer

The total number of terms in (x + 1/x)12 will be 13, so the middle term will be the seventh.

Therefore,

T₇ = 12C6(x)12−6(1/x)6

= 12C6(x⁶)(1/x⁶) = 12C6

Hence, the seventh term will be constant and its value will be 12C6.
