Detailed Solution:The expansion is (x + x^ (log? x)?
The (r+1)-th term is T? =? C? * x? * (x^ (log? x)?
The 4th term means r=3.
T? =? C? * x? * (x^ (log? x)³ = 35 * x? * x^ (3 log? x) = 35 * x^ (4 + 3 log? x).
Given T? = 4480.
35 * x^ (4 + 3 log? x) = 4480
x^ (4 + 3 log? x) = 4480 / 35 = 128.
x^ (4 + 3 log? x) = 128.
Take log? on both sides:
log? (x^ (4 + 3 log? x) = log? (128)
(4 + 3 log? x) * (log? x) = 7
Let t = log? x.
(4 + 3t)t = 7
3t² + 4t - 7 = 0
3t² - 3t + 7t - 7 = 0
3t (t-1) + 7 (t-1) = 0
(3t+7) (t-1) = 0
t = 1 or t = -7/3.
log? x = 1 ⇒ x = 2¹ = 2.
log? x = -7/3 ⇒ x = 2^ (-7/3).
Since x ∈ N, x = 2.
