In the expansion the number of terms free from radicals is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\huge (7^{1/3} + 11^{1/9})^{6561}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so basically it should be a multiple of 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am getting 729 is it correct or not

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

looks good!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the number of terms should be 1.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but answer is 730 =(

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

then we need to think a bit more

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

notice that the exponent is not same for both the terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9 is just 3*3

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

they split as k, n-k right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes yes

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\binom{n}{k} a^{n-k}b^{k}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got what you are saying

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you want n-k to be multiple of 3 and k to be multiple of 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but how do we find k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it changes continiously

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k changes @ganeshie8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have seen some use of integration in this chapter , if that's the case here i am not fully aware of calculus

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ganeshie8 r u there

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes it has got nothing to do with integration

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but how do you find k

OpenStudy (mathmate):

@No.name Can you tell me the range of k in \(\binom{n}{k} a^{n-k}b^{k}\)?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

`you want n-k to be multiple of 3 and k to be multiple of 9` 6561-k = 3a k = 9b

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

notice that 6561 is divisible by 3

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

6561-k = 3a k = 9b is same as k = 3c k = 9b yes ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is c ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes ofc

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

try this maybe : would you agree whenever k is divisible by 9, that makes n-k also divisble by 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

because n = 6561 here which is divisible by 3 so if k is divisible by 9, then for sure n-k is also divisible by 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes ofcourse

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

just find how many integers between 0 and 6561 are divisible by 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1417790690794:dw|
