Correct answer: 210
- Simplify the expression inside the bracket
We need the constant term in
Let Then and is not convenient, so instead simplify each fraction directly using algebraic identities.
- First fraction
Use with . Since we get
- Second fraction
Factor the denominator: Also, Hence
- Expression inside the bracket
Therefore,
So the given expression becomes
- General term
In the binomial expansion,
Thus the power of in the general term is
For the term independent of , set this exponent to :
Multiply by :
- Constant term
For , Since the power of is zero, the coefficient is
- Final answer
The term independent of is
