If the maximum value of the term independent of tt in the expansion of (t2x15+(1−x)110t)15,x⩾0\left(\mathrm{t}^{2} x^{\frac{1}{5}}+\frac{(1-x)^{\frac{1}{10}}}{\mathrm{t}}\right)^{15}, x \geqslant 0 , is K\mathrm{K} , then 8 K8 \mathrm{~K} is equal to ____________.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

General term of (t2x15+(1−x)110t)15{\left( {{t^2}{x^{{1 \over 5}}} + {{{{(1 - x)}^{{1 \over {10}}}}} \over t}} \right)^{15}} is

Tr+1=15Cr . (t2x15)15−r . ((1−x)110t)r{T_{r + 1}} = {}^{15}{C_r}\,.\,{\left( {{t^2}{x^{{1 \over 5}}}} \right)^{15 - r}}\,.\,{\left( {{{{{(1 - x)}^{{1 \over {10}}}}} \over t}} \right)^r}

=15Cr . t30−2r . x15−r5 . (1−x)r10 . t−r= {}^{15}{C_r}\,.\,{t^{30 - 2r}}\,.\,{x^{{{15 - r} \over 5}}}\,.\,{\left( {1 - x} \right)^{{r \over {10}}}}\,.\,{t^{ - r}}

=15Cr . t30−3r . x15−r5 . (1−x)r10= {}^{15}{C_r}\,.\,{t^{30 - 3r}}\,.\,{x^{{{15 - r} \over 5}}}\,.\,{\left( {1 - x} \right)^{{r \over {10}}}}

Term will be independent of t\mathrm{t} when 30−3r=0⇒r=1030 - 3r = 0 \Rightarrow r = 10

∴\therefore T10+1=T11{T_{10 + 1}} = {T_{11}} will be independent of t\mathrm{t}

∴\therefore T11=15C10 . x15−105 . (1−x)1010{T_{11}} = {}^{15}{C_{10}}\,.\,{x^{{{15 - 10} \over 5}}}\,.\,{\left( {1 - x} \right)^{{{10} \over {10}}}}

=15C10 . x1 . (1−x)1= {}^{15}{C_{10}}\,.\,{x^1}\,.\,{\left( {1 - x} \right)^1}

T11\mathrm{T_{11}} will be maximum when x(1−x)x(1 - x) is maximum.

Let f(x)=x(1−x)=x−x2f(x) = x(1 - x) = x - {x^2}

f(x)f(x) is maximum or minimum when f′(x)=0f'(x) = 0

∴\therefore f′(x)=1−2xf'(x) = 1 - 2x

For maximum/minimum f′(x)=0f'(x) = 0

∴\therefore 1−2x=01 - 2x = 0

⇒x=12\Rightarrow x = {1 \over 2}

Now, f''(x) = - 2 < 0

∴\therefore At x=12x = {1 \over 2} , f(x)f(x) maximum

∴\therefore Maximum value of T11\mathrm{T_{11}} is

=15C10 . 12(1−12)= {}^{15}{C_{10}}\,.\,{1 \over 2}\left( {1 - {1 \over 2}} \right)

=15C10 . 14= {}^{15}{C_{10}}\,.\,{1 \over 4}

Given K=15C10 . 14K = {}^{15}{C_{10}}\,.\,{1 \over 4}

Now, 8K=2(15C10)8K = 2\left( {{}^{15}{C_{10}}} \right)

=6006= 6006
