The coefficient of in the expansion of ^{11}, \) where \)

The coefficient of \( x^{9} \) in the expansion of \( \left(x^{3}+\frac{1}{2^{t}}\right)^{11}, \) where \( t=\log _{\sqrt{2}}\left(x^{\frac{3}{2}}\right) \)

  • A. -5
  • B. 330
  • C. 520 \)
  • D. \( 5+\log _{\sqrt{2}}(3) \)

Step-by-step solution

Simplify t using logarithm properties: t = log_{√2}(x^{3/2}) = 3 log_2 x, so 2^t = x^3. The expression becomes (x^3 + x^{-3})^11. General term: C(11,r) x^{33-6r}. Set exponent 9 → r=4. Coefficient = C(11,4)=330.
