Correct answer: 55

  1. Consider the binomial expansion (x4−12x2)12.\left(\frac{x}{4}-\frac{12}{x^2}\right)^{12}.(4x​−x212​)12.

The general term is Tr+1=(12r)(x4)12−r(−12x2)r.T_{r+1}=\binom{12}{r}\left(\frac{x}{4}\right)^{12-r}\left(-\frac{12}{x^2}\right)^r.Tr+1​=(r12​)(4x​)12−r(−x212​)r.

  1. Simplify the general term: Tr+1=(12r)x12−r412−r⋅(−12)rx−2rT_{r+1}=\binom{12}{r}\frac{x^{12-r}}{4^{12-r}}\cdot (-12)^r x^{-2r}Tr+1​=(r12​)412−rx12−r​⋅(−12)rx−2r =(12r)(−12)r412−rx12−r−2r=\binom{12}{r}\frac{(-12)^r}{4^{12-r}}x^{12-r-2r}=(r12​)412−r(−12)r​x12−r−2r =(12r)(−12)r412−rx12−3r.=\binom{12}{r}\frac{(-12)^r}{4^{12-r}}x^{12-3r}.=(r12​)412−r(−12)r​x12−3r.

  2. For the term independent of xxx, the power of xxx must be zero: 12−3r=012-3r=012−3r=0 r=4.r=4.r=4.

So the constant term is T5T_5T5​.

  1. Compute T5T_5T5​: T5=(124)(x4)8(−12x2)4.T_5=\binom{12}{4}\left(\frac{x}{4}\right)^8\left(-\frac{12}{x^2}\right)^4.T5​=(412​)(4x​)8(−x212​)4.

Since (−12)4=124(-12)^4=12^4(−12)4=124, T5=(124)12448.T_5=\binom{12}{4}\frac{12^4}{4^8}.T5​=(412​)48124​.

Now, (124)=495,\binom{12}{4}=495,(412​)=495, and 124=(3⋅4)4=34⋅44.12^4=(3\cdot 4)^4=3^4\cdot 4^4.124=(3⋅4)4=34⋅44.

Hence, T5=495⋅34⋅4448=495⋅3444.T_5=495\cdot \frac{3^4\cdot 4^4}{4^8}=495\cdot \frac{3^4}{4^4}.T5​=495⋅4834⋅44​=495⋅4434​.

  1. The constant term is given to be (3644)k.\left(\frac{3^6}{4^4}\right)k.(4436​)k.

So equate: (3644)k=495⋅3444.\left(\frac{3^6}{4^4}\right)k = 495\cdot \frac{3^4}{4^4}.(4436​)k=495⋅4434​.

Multiply both sides by 4434\frac{4^4}{3^4}3444​: 32k=4953^2 k = 49532k=495 9k=4959k=4959k=495 k=55.k=55.k=55.

  1. Therefore, 55.\boxed{55}.55​.
