Correct answer: 138
- General term of the binomial expansion
For the general term is where .
So,
- Condition for an integral term
A term will be integral if the exponents of both and are integers.
So we need: and
- Solve the divisibility conditions
From we get
If is divisible by , then it is automatically even, hence is also even because is even. Therefore, is automatically an integer.
So the only effective condition is: for some integer with
Thus,
Hence, which gives values.
- Number of integral terms
Therefore, the number of integral terms is
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer = .
My derived answer also is , so they agree.
