The third term in the expansion of (x + k)^8 is 63 x^6. Find the possible values of k.Solution
(x+k)8
(x+k)8=8c0x8k0 +8c1x7k +8c2x6k2+8c3x5k3+8c4x4k4+8c5x3k5+8c6x2k6+8c7xk7+8c8x0k8
(x+k)8= x8 +8x7k +28x6k2+56x5k3+70x4k4+56x3k5+28x2k6+8xk7+k8
third term =8c3-1 x8-(3-1) k3-1
third term =8c2 x6k2
third term =28x6k2
28x6k2=63x6
28k2=63
k2=63/28
k2=9/4
k=3/2
