$$\left(\mathrm{1}+{x}+{x}^{\mathrm{3}} \right)^{\mathrm{9}} =\underset{{a}+{b}+{c}=\mathrm{9}} {\sum}\begin{pmatrix}{\mathrm{9}}\\{{a},{b},{c}}\end{pmatrix}\mathrm{1}^{{a}} {x}^{{b}} {x}^{\mathrm{3}{c}} \\ $$$${b}+\mathrm{3}{c}=\mathrm{2}\:\Rightarrow{b}=\mathrm{2},\:{c}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${a}+{b}+{c}=\mathrm{9}\:\Rightarrow{a}=\mathrm{7} \\ $$$${coef}.\:{of}\:{x}^{\mathrm{2}} \:{is}\:\begin{pmatrix}{\mathrm{9}}\\{\mathrm{7},\mathrm{2},\mathrm{0}}\end{pmatrix}=\frac{\mathrm{9}!}{\mathrm{7}!\mathrm{2}!\mathrm{0}!}=\mathrm{36} \\ $$
