Question 65
Medium
a.

Find the first 4 terms, in ascending powers of xxx, of the binomial expansion of

(3+kx9)6\left(3 + \frac{kx}{9}\right)^6(3+9kx​)6

where kkk is a non-zero constant. Give each term in its simplest form.

b.

Given that

f(x)=(4+2x)(3+kx9)6f(x) = (4 + 2x)\left(3 + \frac{kx}{9}\right)^6f(x)=(4+2x)(3+9kx​)6

and that in the expansion of f(x)f(x)f(x), the coefficient of xxx is equal to the constant term, find the value of kkk.
