Question: The expression \(\left( x + \sqrt{x^{3} - 1} \right)^{5}\)+ \(\left( x - \sqrt{x^{3} - 1} \right)^{5...
The expression (x+x3−1)5+ (x−x3−1)5 is a polynomial of degree –
A
7
B
6
C
5
D
15
Answer
7
Explanation
Solution
(a + b)5 + (a – b)5 = 2(a5 + 5C2 a3b2 + 5C4 ab4)
Hence (x+x3−1)5 + (x−x3−1)5
2{x5 + 5C2 x3(x3 – 1) + 5C4 x(x3 – 1)2}
\ the given expression is a polynomial of degree 7.
