The sum of the coefficients of the first three terms in the expansion of $\left(x-\frac{3}{x^{2}}\right)^{m}, x \neq 0, m$ being a natural number, is $559 .$ Find the term of the expansion containing $x^{3}$
The coefficients of the first three terms of ${\left( {x - \frac{3}{{{x^2}}}} \right)^m}$ are $^m{C_0},( - 3){\,^m}{C_1}$ and $\,9{\,^m}{C_2}$. Therefore, by the given condition, we have
$^m{C_0} - 3{\,^m}{C_1} + 9{\,^m}{C_2} = 559,$ i.e., $1 - 3m + \frac{{9m(m - 1)}}{2} = 559$
which gives $m=12$ ( $m$ being a natural number).
Now ${T_{r + 1}} = {\,^{12}}{C_r}{x^{12 - r}}{\left( { - \frac{3}{{{x^2}}}} \right)^r} = {\,^{12}}{C_r}{( - 3)^r} \cdot {x^{12 - 3r}}$
Since we need the term containing $x^{3}$, so put $12-3 r=3$ i.e., $r=3$
Thus, the required term is ${\,^{12}}{C_3}{( - 3)^3}{x^3},$ i.e., $-5940 x^{3}$
