Question:
what is formula for term independent in biquadratic expansion
Answer:

There is no such formula. Let us take an example to find out term independent of the variable in the binomial expansion.

 Example: Find the term independent of the variable x in the expansion (2x2 + 1/x)12

Let the term independent of x is Tr+1

Now Tr+1 = (r+1)th term

                = 12Cr * (2x2 )12-r *(1/x)r

               = 12Cr * 212-r *(x2 )12-r * 1/xr

               =  12Cr * 212-r *x24-2r * 1/xr

               =  12Cr * 212-r *x24-2r-r 

=> Tr+1   =  12Cr * 212-r *x24-3r ................1

For the term independent of x,

      24 - 3r = 0

=> 3r = 24

=> r = 24/3

=> r = 8  

So T8+1 = (8+1)th term = 9th term is is independent of the variable x.

Now from equation 1, we get 

T8+1  = 12C8 * 212-8 *x0     

         = 12C8 * 24 

=> T9  = 16* 12C8      

So in this way, we calculate the term independent of the variable in the binomial expansion.
