Term independent of x in binomial expansion, (but k is non-integer in expansion?) (1 Viewer)

Hi I need help with a question as I am getting k as a non-integer when doing the binomial expansion.

Question: Find the term independent of x in the expansion of:


My attempt:




Therefore term independent of x when

but at this point k = 28/3 and I am not sure how to move forward.

How do I solve this question?

That means all the terms have an x in it.

Thanks, so I guess to answer the question you would say the term independent of x is 0?

No terms are independet,


Yeah that seems correct
