What is the value of the coefficient of x4 in the expression (x - 1)3 (x - 2)3?

Detailed Solution for GATE Chemical Engineering Mock Test - 7 - Question 5

The coefficient of x4 in the polynomial ( x -1)3 (x- 2)3 can be find as, 
(a - b)3 = a3 - b3 - 3a2b + 2ab2 
( x -1)3 = x3 -13 + 3x2 + 3x  . .(i)
( x - 2)3 = x3 - 83 + 6x2 +12x ..(ii)
By multiplying equation (i) and (ii), we get 
x6 - 45x3 + 33x4 + 9x5 + 6x2 - 36x + 8 = 0
x6 + 9x5 + 33x4 - 45x3 + 6x2 - 36x + 8 = 0

We can clearly see from the figure, if taking a circular tile for convening a flat plane there will be some remaining space, which will not be covered. Now let’s take option (B) regular octagon, and tile it on the flat plane as shown in figure.
We can clearly see from the figure, if taking a regular octagon tile there will be some remaining space, which will not be covered. 

Now let’s take option (C) regular pentagon, and tittle on the flat plane as shown in figure.

We can clearly see from the figure if taking a regular pentagon there will be some remaining space, which will not be covered. Now lets take option (D) rhombus, and tile it on the flat plane as shown in the figure. 

We can clearly see from the figure that there is no free space remaining on the flat plane.
Hence, the correct option is (D).
