TopicBinomial Theorem (positive integer n)
TypeSingle coefficient given directly

1 In the expansion of \(\left( k x + \frac { 2 } { x } \right) ^ { 4 }\) ,where \(k\) is a positive constant,the term independent of \(x\) is equal to 150 .
Find the value of \(k\) and hence determine the coefficient of \(x ^ { 2 }\) in the expansion.
