What is the last term in the expansion of A?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a 243x³
  2. b x⁵
  3. c −x³
  4. d −243x⁵
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: d −243x⁵

The last term is (5 5)(−3x)⁵ = −243x⁵.

Why the other options are wrong

  • a 243x³: 243x³ has both the power and the sign wrong. The right answer is −243x⁵.
  • b x⁵: x⁵ misses the factor (−3)⁵ = −243. The right answer is −243x⁵.
  • c −x³: −x³ has the wrong power and factor; the last power is 5. The right answer is −243x⁵.
