(a)(ii)
The expansion of (7+nx)(1+x7)5(7 + nx)\left(1 + \dfrac{x}{7}\right)^{5}, where nn is a positive integer, is written in ascending powers of xx. The first two terms in the expansion are 7+89x7 + 89x. Find the value of nn.

(b)
In the expansion of (k2x)8(k - 2x)^{8}, where kk is a constant, the coefficient of x4x^{4} divided by the coefficient of x2x^{2} is 58\dfrac{5}{8}. The coefficient of xx is positive. Form an equation and hence find the value of kk.
