The Expression is (2w - x +3y + z - 2)^12.

We can solve this expression using Multinomial Theorem.

Multinomial Theorem is given by

Where n is the order of the expression

where image.

image  is the Multinomial coefficient.

Now to find the coefficient of w²x²y²z²,

The term w²x²y²z² is

image

image

= 718,502,400 w²x²y²z².

Therefore the coefficient of w²x²y²z² is 718502400.

(b)

The Expression is (v+w - 2x +y + 5z + 3)^12.

We can solve this expression using Multinomial Theorem.

Multinomial Theorem is given by

Where n is the order of the expression

where image.

image  is the Multinomial coefficient.

Now to find the coefficient of w²x²y²z²,

The term w²x²y²z² is

image

image

= 10,103,940,000 w²x²y²z².

Therefore the coefficient of w²x²y²z² is 10103940000.
