Find the seventh term of the expansion of

Answer:
Correct choice is C
Step-by-step explanation:
The i-th term of the binomial expansion [tex]\left(3x+7y\right)^{11}[/tex] is
[tex]T_i=C^{11}_{i-1}\cdot \left(3x\right)^{11+1-i}\cdot (7y)^{i-1}.[/tex]
If i=7, then
[tex]T_7=C^{11}_{7-1}\cdot \left(3x\right)^{11+1-7}\cdot (7y)^{7-1}=C_6^{11}\cdot (3x)^5\cdot (7y)^6=462\cdot (3x)^5\cdot (7y)^6.[/tex]
Note that
[tex]C_6^{11}=\dfrac{11!}{6!(11-6)!}=\dfrac{6!\cdot 7\cdot 8\cdot 9\cdot 10\cdot 11}{6!\cdot 1\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 4\cdot 5}=462.[/tex]
Answer:
The correct answer option is C. [tex]462 (3x)^5 (7y)^6[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following expression to be expanded and we are to find its seventh term:
[tex](3x+7y)^{11}[/tex]
The coefficient here is taken from Pascal's triangle (nCr on the calculator).
The expression expands in a way such that, the power of the first term decreases by one each time while it increases for the second term.
1st term: [tex]1 (3x)^11[/tex]
2nd term: [tex]11 (3x)^{10} (7y)^1[/tex]
3rd term: [tex]55 (3x)^9 (7y)^2[/tex] and so on.
Therefore, the 7th term will be [tex]462 (3x)^5 (7y)^6[/tex]
