Question 1

The number of terms in the expansion of (2^(

A 4

B 5

C 7

D 14

Worked answer

Correct answer: C — 7

  • The general term is C(72, k)·2^( • It is an integer when k is a multiple of 3 and (72 − k) is a multiple of 4.
  • Counting k = 0..72 satisfying both gives 7.
  • Why the other options are wrong:
  • A (4): This is 3 less than the correct value (7); check the arithmetic of the last step.
  • B (5): This is 2 less than the correct value (7); check the arithmetic of the last step.
  • D (14): This is twice the correct value (7): a factor of 2 has been added.

Terms with integer powers of both radicals: solve the two congruences on k together.
