Application +4 | -1

If the coefficients of

{x^3}

and

{x^4}

in the expansion of

(1 + ax + b{x^2}){(1 - 2x)^{18}}

in powers of

x

are both zero, then

(a,\,b)

is equal to

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

\left( {16,\,\frac{{272}}{3}} \right)

Option D

\left( {16,\frac{{272}}{3}} \right)

is correct because solving the equations formed by setting the coefficients of

x^3

and

x^4

to zero yields these values for a and b.
