Hello,
I know how to do it without the (x+3) but I not sure how to do this question.
. . .Q. Find the coefficient of x5 in the expansion of (x + 3)(2x - 1)6.
Sure far I have attempted this but it doesn't seem to be working.
\(\displaystyle (x\, +\, 3)\,\binom{6}{1}\,(2x)^5\, (-1)^1\)
\(\displaystyle =\, (x\, +\, 3)\, (6)\, (32x^5)\, (-1)\)
\(\displaystyle =\, (x\, +\, 3)(-192x^5)\)
\(\displaystyle =\, -192x^6\, -\, (3)(192x^5)\)
Thanks in advance!
