Find the coefficient of the x^2 term in the expansion of (5x-2)^6 //Series and sequences precalculus

Mathematics

Serhud [2]1 year ago

We need to expand the term:

(5x-2)^6

This seems like a colossal task, we would need to multiply (5x-2) 6 times. However, we can use a useful tool that is called the 'Pascal's triangle'

I'll paste an image of it above

We will use it in this way:

Each one of the rows, represent the n in the term:

(x+y)^n

So, if we have the expression (x+y) we will pay attention to the upper row, if we have (x+y)^2 we will need the second row, and so on.

In our case, we need the 6th row.

Now, usually a term of the form

(x+y)^6=ax^6+bx^5y+cx^4y^2+dx^3y^3+ex^2y^4+fxy^5+gy^6

As we say, look at the 6th row of the triangle, the numbers a, b, c,..., and g are given there!

\begin{gathered} a=1 \\ b=5 \\ c=10 \\ d=10 \\ e=5 \\ f=1 \end{gathered}

And we need the term that corresponds to x^2, we need the number e=5!

So, after the expansion, the coefficient of the term x^2 will be equal to 5

Find the minimum or maximum value of the function. What is the H? (Desmos)
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Minimum: (2,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

h(x)=3(x^{2}-4x)+16

=3(x^{2}-4x+4-4)+16   (- For the balance of equation, and attention 1)

=3(x-2)^{2}-3*4+16

=3(x-2)^{2}+4

<h3>Attention:</h3>

1. (a-b)^{2}=a^{2}  -2ab+b^{2}

2. The formula for the vertex form is y = a(x-h)^{2}+k, the vertex is (h,k)

The graph of a line has a slope of -7 and a y intercept of (0,0). Rewrite the equation in standard form (Ax+By=C) with a positiv
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

the equation of the line is 7x + y = 0 .

Step-by-step explanation:

in the standard form of the line that is Ax +By = C we can write it in the form of

By = C - Ax

y = \frac{-A}{B}x +\frac{C}{B}

which is in the form of y = mx +c

where m is the slope of the line and c is y intercept made by the line.

comparing  y = \frac{-A}{B}x +\frac{C}{B} and  y = mx +c

we get that \frac{-A}{B} =m and \frac{-C}{B} = c

since it is given that slope of the line is -7 therefore m = -7 and c = 0

therefore  \frac{-A}{B} =-7 and \frac{-C}{B} = 0

therefore C = 0 , A = 7 and B = 1

therefore the equation becomes 7x + y = 0

Which list shows the integers in order from lest to greatest ? -8 , -5 , 0 , 2 , 6 0 , 2 , -5 , 6 , -8 -5 , -8 , 0 , 2 , 6 0 , -
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

a.-8,-5,0,2,6

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the list which shows the integers in order from least to greatest.

We know that when we left side of zero on a number line then the values decrease and we go right side of zero then the value increases.

a.-8,-5,0,2,6

-8<-5<0<2<6

Hence, it is true.

b.0,2,-5,6,-8

-8 least and 6 is greatest

Therefore, it is false.

c.-5,-8,0,2,6

It is false.

d.0,-8,-5,2,6

It is false.

Option a is true,
