For the given term, find the binomial raised to the power, whose expansion it came from: 15(5)^2 (-1/2 x) ^4

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

<em>C.</em> $(5-\frac{1}{2})^6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$15(5)^2(-\frac{1}{2})^4$

Required

Determine which binomial expansion it came from

The first step is to add the powers of he expression in brackets;

$Sum = 2 + 4$

$Sum = 6$

Each term of a binomial expansion are always of the form:

$(a+b)^n = ......+ ^nC_ra^{n-r}b^r+.......$

Where n = the sum above

$n = 6$

Compare $15(5)^2(-\frac{1}{2})^4$ to the above general form of binomial expansion

$(a+b)^n = ......+15(5)^2(-\frac{1}{2})^4+.......$

Substitute 6 for n

$(a+b)^6 = ......+15(5)^2(-\frac{1}{2})^4+.......$

[Next is to solve for a and b]

<em>From the above expression, the power of (5) is 2</em>

<em>Express 2 as 6 - 4</em>

$(a+b)^6 = ......+15(5)^{6-4}(-\frac{1}{2})^4+.......$

By direct comparison of

$(a+b)^n = ......+ ^nC_ra^{n-r}b^r+.......$

and

$(a+b)^6 = ......+15(5)^{6-4}(-\frac{1}{2})^4+.......$

We have;

$^nC_ra^{n-r}b^r= 15(5)^{6-4}(-\frac{1}{2})^4$

Further comparison gives

$^nC_r = 15$

$a^{n-r} =(5)^{6-4}$

$b^r= (-\frac{1}{2})^4$

[Solving for a]

By direct comparison of $a^{n-r} =(5)^{6-4}$

$a = 5$

$n = 6$

$r = 4$

[Solving for b]

By direct comparison of $b^r= (-\frac{1}{2})^4$

$r = 4$

$b = \frac{-1}{2}$

Substitute values for a, b, n and r in

$(a+b)^n = ......+ ^nC_ra^{n-r}b^r+.......$

$(5+\frac{-1}{2})^6 = ......+ ^6C_4(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......$

$(5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+ ^6C_4(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......$

Solve for $^6C_4$

$(5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+ \frac{6!}{(6-4)!4!)}*(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......$

$(5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+ \frac{6!}{2!!4!}*(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......$

$(5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+ \frac{6*5*4!}{2*1*!4!}*(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......$

$(5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+ \frac{6*5}{2*1}*(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......$

$(5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+ \frac{30}{2}*(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......$

$(5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+15*(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......$

$(5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+15(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......$

$(5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+15(5)^2(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......$

<em>Check the list of options for the expression on the left hand side</em>

<em>The correct answer is </em> $(5-\frac{1}{2})^6$ <em />

Using the data given below, determine whether it would unusual for a household to have no HD televisions.

scZoUnD [109]

Answer: A. It would be unusual because the probability of having no HD televisions is less than 0.05.

Step-by-step explanation:

We say a event is unusual if the probability of that event to get happen is less than 0.05.

From the table it is given that, the probability of having no HD televisions is 0.030 which is less than 0.05.

Therefore, It would be unusual for a household to have no HD televisions because the probability of having no HD televisions is less than 0.05.
