TypeProduct with reciprocal term binomial

  1. (a) Find the first 4 terms, in ascending powers of \(x\), of the binomial expansion of
$$\left( 2 - \frac { x } { 4 } \right) ^ { 10 }$$ giving each term in its simplest form.
(b) Hence find the constant term in the series expansion of $$\left( 3 - \frac { 1 } { x } \right) ^ { 2 } \left( 2 - \frac { x } { 4 } \right) ^ { 10 }$$
