I think this is supposed to be :

 

\(( 10x^3  -   1 / (2x^2)  ) ^5\)

 

The constant term is :

 

\(- C(5, 3) \cdot (10x^3)^2 \cdot (\frac{1}{2x^2})^3  =\)
\(-10 \cdot (100 x^6) \cdot (\frac{1}{8x^6} )  =\)

\(- [10 \cdot \frac{100}{8}]  \cdot (\frac{x^6}{x^6})  =\)

\(- 125\)

P.S. I changed up CPhill's answer a little, so please give me a little credit also!
