Consider the expansion of (2x−3)15(2x-3)^{15}. (a) Write down the general term Tr+1T_{r+1} of the expansion. (b) Obtain the expression for the ratio Tr+1Tr\dfrac{T_{r+1}}{T_r} in terms of rr when x=1x=1. (c) Determine all integer values of rr for which ∣Tr+1∣>∣Tr∣|T_{r+1}|>|T_r| when x=1x=1. (d) Hence find the term of greatest absolute value in the expansion when x=1x=1, and state its coefficient.
