The term independent of x in the expansion of $$\left(3x^{3} - \frac{4}{x}\right)^8$$
let $$(r+1)^{th}$$ term be the independent of x which is given by bio nominal theoremÂ
$$T_{r+1}$$ = 8$$c_{r}$$ $$\times$$Â Â $$a^{(8-r)}$$Â $$\times$$ $$b^{r}$$Â
here we have a = 3$$x^{3}$$ and b = -4\xÂ
put the value we getÂ
$$T_{r+1}$$ = 8$$c_{r}$$ $$\times$$Â Â (3$$x^{3}$$)^(8-r)Â $$\times$$Â (-4\x)^r
$$T_{r+1}$$ = 8$$c_{r}$$ $$\times$$ (3)^(8-r)($$x^{3}$$)^(8-r) $$\times$$ (-4)^r(x)^(-r)
$$T_{r+1}$$ = 8$$c_{r}$$ $$\times$$ (3)^(8-r)($$x^{24-3r}$$) $$\times$$ (-4)^r(x)^(-r)
since the term is independent of x, we haveÂ
24 - 4r = 0
r = 6Â
so the (r+1) = 7 term is independent so we can say thatÂ
$$T_{7}$$ =Â 8$$c_{6}$$ $$\times$$Â $$3^{3-1}$$Â $$\times$$ (-4)^2(6-1)
$$T_{7}$$ = 8Â $$\times$$ 7Â $$\times$$Â Â $$3^{2}$$Â $$\times$$Â $$2^{11}$$
$$T_{7}$$ =Â $$2^{14}$$Â $$\times$$ 7 $$\times$$ $$3^{2}$$ Â AnswerÂ
