Solution

To find the sum of all values of p p such that the term independent of x x in the expansion results in a constant term of 45, we first need to determine the context of the expansion.

Assuming the expansion is derived from a binomial expression, like (x+p)n (x + p)^n or similar forms, and we need to isolate the term where the power of x x is zero.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Break Down the Problem

    • Identify the expression whose expansion we are considering.
    • Define the general term in the expansion.
  2. Relevant Concepts

    • For a binomial expansion (a+b)n (a + b)^n , the general term is given by: Tk=(nk)ankbk T_k = \binom{n}{k} a^{n-k} b^k
    • Set Tk T_k equal to the constant term (independent of x x ).
  3. Analysis and Detail

    • Assuming we consider the expansion of (x+p)n (x + p)^n where we find the term independent of x x :
    • The term with no x x will occur when k=n k = n or when xnk=x0 x^{n-k} = x^0 .
    • Thus, nk=0k=n n-k = 0 \Rightarrow k = n .
  4. Calculate the Conditions

    • Setting the conditions for the independent term equal to 45: pn=45 p^n = 45
    • Solve for p p : p=451/n p = 45^{1/n}
    • Depending on n n , find the possible values of p p .
  5. Sum the Values

    • If n n is given, compute the roots and their sum.

Final Answer

Without loss of generality, if we only need to sum p p for different rational n n leading to integer positive roots: Sum of all values of p=k=1n451/k \text{Sum of all values of } p = \sum_{k=1}^{n} 45^{1/k}

Ensure you substitute any specific values for n n if provided to obtain the final sum. If not given, you can work on ranges of n n to express your findings.
