For the expansion (5+2x)12(5+2x)^{12}, carry out the tasks given below. a. (i) Write the general term Tr+1T_{r+1}. b. (ii) Determine the middle term TT and the term immediately succeeding it, denoted T′T', without simplifying their coefficients. c. (iii) Compute the ratio T′T\dfrac{T'}{T} and hence decide which of the two terms has the greater absolute value when x=1x=1. Justify your answer with calculations.
