In the binomial expansion of (7^(1/3) + 11^(1/9))⁶⁵⁶¹, find the number of terms that are free from radicals (i.e., terms in which both 7 and 11 appear with integer exponents).

  1. 730
  2. 729
  3. 725
  4. 750

Correct answer: 730

Solution

r must be a multiple of 9 (giving 730 values: r = 0, 9, 18,..., 6561). Since 6561 = 3⁸ is divisible by 3, and any multiple of 9 is also a multiple of 3, the condition (6561 - r) divisible by 3 is automatically satisfied for all such r. Hence all 730 terms qualify.
