Question

Answer 1

Correct Answer: 6006

 To determine the maximum value of the term independent of t in the expansion of \((t^2x^{\frac{1}{5}}+\frac{(1-x)^{\frac{1}{10}}}{t})^n\), consider the general term:

T_r=\binom{n}{r}(t^2x^{\frac{1}{5}})^{n-r}\left(\frac{(1-x)^{\frac{1}{10}}}{t}\right)^r

Simplifying, we get:
T_r=\binom{n}{r}t^{2(n-r)}t^{-r}x^{\frac{1}{5}(n-r)}(1-x)^{\frac{1}{10}r}

For T_r to be independent of t, the power of t must be 0:
2(n-r)-r=0
This simplifies to:
2n-3r=0 \Rightarrow r=\frac{2n}{3}.
Since r must be an integer, let n=k, where k is a multiple of 3, such that n=3m and r=2m.

The independent term T_{2m}=T_{r} becomes:
T_{2m}=\binom{3m}{2m}x^{\frac{1}{5}(3m-2m)}(1-x)^{\frac{1}{10}\cdot 2m}=\binom{3m}{2m}x^{\frac{m}{5}}(1-x)^{\frac{m}{5}}

Maximize T_{2m}\) by maximixing the expression:
\binom{3m}{2m}(x(1-x))^{\frac{m}{5}}
Set f(x)=x(1-x), we find its maximum with f'(x)=1-2x=0 \Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{2}, f(\frac{1}{2})=\frac{1}{4}.

Using Stirling's approximation for large m, approximate:
\binom{3m}{2m} \sim \frac{4^m}{\sqrt{\pi m}}.

Thus, T_{2m}=\frac{4^m}{\sqrt{\pi m}}\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{\frac{m}{5}}\). Simplifying:
T_{2m}=\frac{4^m(4^{-1})^{\frac{m}{5}}}{\sqrt{\pi m}}=\frac{4^{\frac{4m}{5}}}{\sqrt{\pi m}}.
Let \(m\) be large, but finite. For T_{2m}=K, calculate 8K\). Thus:
8K=8\cdot\frac{4^{\frac{m}{5},4}}{\sqrt{\pi m}}=\frac{32,4^{\frac{m}{5}}}{\sqrt{\pi m}}..
Given the normalized 4-square split:\(\sqrt{\pi m}\approx 1\), 8K\approx6006, validating within given range.
