Question 20

An ecological model for the expansion of a species population defines the growth intensity, I(k)I(k)I(k), after kkk observation cycles. The value of I(k)I(k)I(k) is given by the coefficient of tkt^ktk in the binomial expansion of:

A(t)=(32+2t)11 A(t) = \left(\frac{3}{2} + 2t\right)^{11} A(t)=(23​+2t)11

Calculate the value of the growth intensity after 7 observation cycles, I(7)I(7)I(7), giving your answer in simplest form.
