Question

By considering the general term in the expansion of $\left(x^5 + \frac{1}{x}\right)^7$, explain why there are no even powers of $x$ in its expansion.[2] Given that the coefficient of $x^6$ in the expansion of $\left(x^5 + \frac{1}{x}\right)^7 + (kx + 3)^7$ is $1344$, where $k$ is a positive constant, find the coefficient of $x^4$ in the expansion.[4]

Accepted Answer

(b)coefficient of $x^4$ =15120
