<br>- x⁵ in (x + 3)⁸, think step by step
                ### Assistant: The general term Tr+1 in the binomial expansion is given by Tr+1 = n C r an-r br. Here, x⁵ is the Tr+1 term, so a= x, b = 3 and n =8. Tr+1 = 8Cr x8-r 3r. To find out x⁵, we have to equate x⁵= x8-r => r= 3. Putting the value of r in (i), we get Tr+1 = 1512 x⁵. Hence, the coefficient of x⁵ = 1512. , The answer is The coefficient of x⁵ = 1512
