Correct answer: 36
- General term of the expansion
For the general term is
So, T_{r+1}=\binom{n}{r}(-6)^r x^{\frac{n-r}{2}-\frac{3r}{2}}=inom{n}{r}(-6)^r x^{\frac{n-4r}{2}}.
- Find the constant term
For the constant term, exponent of must be zero: Thus must be divisible by .
Given , possible values are
Let the constant term be
- Use the sum of coefficients condition
The sum of all coefficients in the expansion is obtained by putting :
The sum of coefficients of the remaining terms means: So,
Now test possible values of .
-
For : Works.
-
For :
-
For : clearly far too large, so it does not work.
Hence,
- Find the coefficient of
We need exponent of to be : Solve:
For , So the coefficient of is
Given this coefficient is , Therefore,
- Final answer
