For \(\Big(2x+\frac{1}{3x^2}\Big)^9\)

a = 2x, b = \(\frac{1}{3x^2}\) and n = 9

We have a formula,

Now, to get coefficient of term independent of x that is coefficient of x0 we must have, 

(x)9-3r = x0 

• 9 - 3r = 0 

• 3r = 9 

• r = 3

Therefore, coefficient of x0 = (93\(\frac{(2)^{9-3}}{(3)^3}\) 

\(\frac{9\times8\times7(2)^6}{3\times2\times1(3)^3}\) 

\(\frac{1792}{3}\) 

Conclusion : coefficient of x0 = \(\frac{1792}{3}\)
