Hello student,
Please find the answer to your question below
2)This can be obtained by multiplying all the x terms leaving the coefficient of x7. ( 1.e. x7, x6* x1, x5*x2, x4*x3)..
There coefficient of x203 will be ( -7 + 6 *1+ 5*2 +4 * 3) = 21
I could not understand the symbols and notations in 1stquestion please check that question and post it correctly
