Solution

Since rth term from the end in the expansion of (a + b)n is (n – r + 2)th term from the beginning.

Therefore 4th term from the end is 9 – 4 + 2

i.e., 7th term from the beginning

Which is given by T7 = `""^9"C"_6 (x^3/2) ((-2)/x^2)^6`

= `""^9"C"_3 x^9/8 * 64/x^12`

= `(9 xx 8 xx 7)/(3 xx 2 xx 1) xx 64/x^3`

= `672/x^3`
