(3分)

解答

解法一

思路

展开

在 (a+b)12\bigg(a+b\bigg)^{12} 中,含 x7x^7 的项一定来自 (4x)7(4x)^7,所以另一部分是 (38)5\bigg(\frac38\bigg)^5。

答题过程

展开

The relevant binomial coefficient is (127)=792\binom{12}{7}=792. The term in x7x^7 is

792(38)5(4x)7.792 \bigg(\frac38\bigg)^5 (4x)^7.

So the coefficient of x7x^7 is

C= 792(38)547= 792×2432= 96228.\begin{align*} C=&\,792\bigg(\frac38\bigg)^5 4^7\\ =&\,792\times\frac{243}{2}\\ =&\,96228. \end{align*}

Therefore, the coefficient is

96228.\begin{align*} 96228. \end{align*}

解法二

思路

展开

先提取常数 38\frac38,将括号化为 1+32x31+\frac{32x}{3},再取第八项的系数。

答题过程

展开

Write

 (38+4x)12= (38)12(1+32x3)12.\begin{align*} &\,\bigg(\frac38+4x\bigg)^{12}\\ =&\,\bigg(\frac38\bigg)^{12} \bigg(1+\frac{32x}{3}\bigg)^{12}. \end{align*}

In the normalized expansion, the coefficient of x7x^7 is M=792(32/3)7M=792(32/3)^7. Restoring the constant factor gives

C= (38)12M= 792×312−7×235−36= 792×35×12= 96228.\begin{align*} C =&\,\bigg(\frac38\bigg)^{12}M\\ =&\,792\times3^{12-7}\times2^{35-36}\\ =&\,792\times3^5\times\frac12\\ =&\,\boxed{96228}. \end{align*}
