解答

(a)

解法一

思路

展开

先把原式改写成 2(1+u)−22(1+u)^{-2},其中 u=−5x/2u=-5x/2。先简化二项式系数,再代入 uu,避免把多个未简化乘积放在同一行。

答题过程

展开

Let

E=8(2−5x)2.E=\frac{8}{(2-5x)^2}.

With u=−5x/2u=-5x/2, this becomes

E=2(1+u)−2.E=2\big(1+u\big)^{-2}.

For exponent −2-2, the coefficients are

(−2)(−3)2!= 3,(−2)(−3)(−4)3!= −4.\begin{align*} \frac{(-2)(-3)}{2!}=&\,3,\\ \frac{(-2)(-3)(-4)}{3!}=&\,-4. \end{align*}

Hence

(1+u)−2=1−2u+3u2−4u3+⋯ .(1+u)^{-2}=1-2u+3u^2-4u^3+\cdots.

With u=−5x/2u=-5x/2,

−2u= 5x,3u2= 754x2,−4u3= 1252x3.\begin{align*} -2u=&\,5x,\\ 3u^2=&\,\frac{75}{4}x^2,\\ -4u^3=&\,\frac{125}{2}x^3. \end{align*}

Multiplying each term by 22, the first four terms are

2+10x+752x2+125x3.\boxed{2+10x+\frac{75}{2}x^2+125x^3}.

解法二

思路

展开

也可以直接对 (2−5x)−2(2-5x)^{-2} 展开,不必先提出常数因子。分别求四项后再乘 88;得到的展开与解法一相同。

答题过程

展开

Expand 8(2−5x)−28(2-5x)^{-2} directly.

For exponent −2-2, the binomial coefficients are

−2,(−2)(−3)2!=3,-2,\qquad \frac{(-2)(-3)}{2!}=3,

and

(−2)(−3)(−4)3!=−4.\frac{(-2)(-3)(-4)}{3!}=-4.

Use these with successive powers of 22 and −5x-5x.

The constant and linear terms are

2−2= 14,(−2)2−3(−5x)= 54x.\begin{align*} 2^{-2}=&\,\frac14,\\ (-2)2^{-3}(-5x)=&\,\frac54x. \end{align*}

The quadratic and cubic terms are

3⋅2−4(−5x)2= 7516x2,−4⋅2−5(−5x)3= 1258x3.\begin{align*} 3\cdot2^{-4}(-5x)^2=&\,\frac{75}{16}x^2,\\ -4\cdot2^{-5}(-5x)^3=&\,\frac{125}{8}x^3. \end{align*}

Multiplying each term by 88, the required expansion begins

2+10x+752x2+125x3.\boxed{2+10x+\frac{75}{2}x^2+125x^3}.

(b)

解法一

思路

展开

负整数指数的二项式展开要求变量部分的绝对值小于 11。这里变量部分是 −5x/2-5x/2,解对应的绝对值不等式即可。

答题过程

展开

The expansion is valid when

∣−5x2∣<1.\Big|-\frac{5x}{2}\Big|<1.

Hence

∣x∣<25.|x|<\frac25.

Therefore the required range is

−25<x<25.\boxed{-\frac25<x<\frac25}.
