To determine the exponent of  in the term that contains  in the expansion of , we can use the relationship that the sum of the exponents of  and  must equal the total exponent of the binomial, which is 8 in this case.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

1. Identify the total exponent: The total exponent in the expansion is .

2. Identify the exponent of : We are looking for the term that contains . Therefore, the exponent of  is 2.

3. Use the relationship: According to the Binomial Theorem, the sum of the exponents of  and
