\[(x^3 -\frac{2}{x^2})^{10}\]Right?
yes :)
okay Take \(\frac{1}{x^2}\) common and apply binomial expansion ah I don't remember the binomial expansion.
i remember it. Tr+1 = (n,r) a^n-r * b^r. but i don't know which term will give me x^10. there could be terms added up and all, right?
ah okay \[T_{r+1} = (n,r) a^{n-r}*b^r\]

so we have \(\frac{1}{x^2}\) out that makes it \(\frac{1}{x^{20}}\)
and the series expansion becomes \((x^5 + 2 )^{10}\) so we need x^15 here to make it \(\frac{1}{x^5}\)
n-r = 3
r = 7
co-efficient is \((10,7)\frac{1}{x^5}*2^7\)

exclude the x and you have the coefficient
