题目中文翻译
(a) 按 x 的升幂排列,求以下二项式展开的前4项,并将各项系数化为最简形式。(4)
(3+2x)6
(b) 由此求以下展开式中 x2 的系数。(3)

解答
(a)
解法一
思路
展开
直接按二项式定理计算 x0 到 x3 的四个系数。
答题过程
展开
The coefficient of xk is
ck=(k6)36−k2k.
For k=0,1,2,3,
c0=c1=c2=c3=36=7296(35)(2)=291615(34)(4)=486020(33)(8)=4320.
Hence the first four terms are
(3+2x)6=729+2916x+4860x2+4320x3+⋯.
解法二
思路

先提出 36,把括号写成 1+u,再使用标准二项式展开。
答题过程
展开
Write u=32x. Then
(3+2x)6=729(1+u)6.
The first four terms of (1+u)6 are
1+6u+15u2+20u3.
Substituting u=32x gives
6u=15u2=20u3=4x320x227160x3.
Multiplying each coefficient by 729,
(3+2x)6=729+2916x+4860x2+4320x3+⋯.
(b)
解法一
思路
展开
要产生 x2,2x2 只能乘常数项,而 −6x1 只能乘 x3 项。承接 (a) 的两个系数即可。
答题过程
展开
From part (a), the only contributions to the x2 term are
2x2(729)=−6x1(4320x3)=1458x2−720x2.
Thus the coefficient of x2 is
1458−720=738.
