Hence or otherwise find the coefficient of the term in in the expansion of .
Markscheme
valid approach (M1)
eg ,
A1 N2
[2 marks]
valid approach for expansion using (M1)
eg ,
evidence of choosing correct term A1
eg , ,
correct working for binomial coefficient (seen anywhere, do not accept factorials) A1
eg , , , ,
A1 N2
Note: If there is clear evidence of adding instead of multiplying, award A1 for the correct working for binomial coefficient, but no other marks. For example, would earn M0A0A1A0.
Do not award final A1 for a final answer of , even if is seen previously. If no working shown, award N1 for .
