What is the coefficient of the third term in the binomial expansion of (a + b)6? 1 15 20 90
Sholpan [36]

Answer:  15

Step-by-step explanation:

(r+1)th term of (a+b)^n is given by:-

T_{r+1}=\ ^nC_r(a)^{n-r}b^r

For (a+b)^6 , n= 6

T_3=T_{2+1}=\ ^6C_2(a)^{6-2}(b)^2\\\\

=\ \dfrac{6!}{4!2!}a^4b^2\ \ \ [^nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}]\\\\=\dfrac{6\times5\times4!}{4!\times2}a^4b^2\\\\=3\times5a^4b^2\\\\ =15a^4b^2

Hence, the coefficient of the third term in the binomial expansion of  (a+b)^6 is 15.

Completely factor the polynomial. 16x 2 - 25
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

(4x-5)(4x+5)

Step-by-step explanation:

16x^2 - 25

Rewriting

(4x)^2 - 5^2

We recognize that this is the difference of squares

a^2 - b^2 = (a-b) (a+b)

(4x)^2 - 5^2 = (4x-5)(4x+5)

Two equations are given below:
jeka94
Siince 2nd equation is already equal a, subsitute b-2 for a in the other equation

b-2-3b=28
-2-2b=28
add 2 to both sides
-2b=30
divide both sides by -2
b=-15
sub back
a=b-2
a=-15-2
a=-17

(a,b)
(-17,-15)
