(x +y)^5<br> Complete the polynomial operation
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Please check the explanation!

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the polynomial

\left(x+y\right)^5

\mathrm{Apply\:binomial\:theorem}:\quad \left(a+b\right)^n=\sum _{i=0}^n\binom{n}{i}a^{\left(n-i\right)}b^i

a=x,\:\:b=y

=\sum _{i=0}^5\binom{5}{i}x^{\left(5-i\right)}y^i

so expanding summation

=\frac{5!}{0!\left(5-0\right)!}x^5y^0+\frac{5!}{1!\left(5-1\right)!}x^4y^1+\frac{5!}{2!\left(5-2\right)!}x^3y^2+\frac{5!}{3!\left(5-3\right)!}x^2y^3+\frac{5!}{4!\left(5-4\right)!}x^1y^4+\frac{5!}{5!\left(5-5\right)!}x^0y^5

solving

\frac{5!}{0!\left(5-0\right)!}x^5y^0

=1\cdot \frac{5!}{0!\left(5-0\right)!}x^5

=1\cdot \:1\cdot \:x^5

=x^5

also solving

=\frac{5!}{1!\left(5-1\right)!}x^4y

=\frac{5}{1!}x^4y

=\frac{5}{1!}x^4y

=\frac{5x^4y}{1}

=\frac{5x^4y}{1}

=5x^4y

similarly, the result of the remaining terms can be solved such as

\frac{5!}{2!\left(5-2\right)!}x^3y^2=10x^3y^2

\frac{5!}{3!\left(5-3\right)!}x^2y^3=10x^2y^3

\frac{5!}{4!\left(5-4\right)!}x^1y^4=5xy^4

\frac{5!}{5!\left(5-5\right)!}x^0y^5=y^5

so substituting all the solved results in the expression

=\frac{5!}{0!\left(5-0\right)!}x^5y^0+\frac{5!}{1!\left(5-1\right)!}x^4y^1+\frac{5!}{2!\left(5-2\right)!}x^3y^2+\frac{5!}{3!\left(5-3\right)!}x^2y^3+\frac{5!}{4!\left(5-4\right)!}x^1y^4+\frac{5!}{5!\left(5-5\right)!}x^0y^5

=x^5+5x^4y+10x^3y^2+10x^2y^3+5xy^4+y^5

Therefore,

\left(x\:+y\right)^5=x^5+5x^4y+10x^3y^2+10x^2y^3+5xy^4+y^5

An automatic car wash takes exactly 5 minutes to wash a car. On average, 10 cars per hour arrive at the car wash. Suppose that,
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

0.9595724

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken to wash a car (μ) = 5 minutes

Hence, Number of cars washed per hour = 60/5 = 12 cars

If 5 cars arrive, 30 minutes to closing ; it takes 25 minutes to finish up ;

If 1 more car arrives, then it takes exactly 30 minutes

Hence, there will be no one in line at closing ;

IF 0 or 1 car arrives, if more than 1 car arrives, then there will be people in line at closing.

Hence, probability of waiting in line at closing :

1 - [p(0) + p(1)]

Using poisson :

P(x) = [(e^-μ) * (μ^x)] / x!

If x = 0

P(0) = [(e^-5) * (5^0)] / 0!

P(0) = (0.0067379 * 1) / 1

P(0) = 0.0067379

X = 1

P(1) = [(e^-5) * (5^1)] / 1!

P(0) = (0.0067379 * 5) / 1

P(0) = 0.0336897

Hence,

1 - (0.0067379 + 0.0336897)

1 - 0.0404276

= 0.9595724

Hence, the probability that anyone would be in the car washing line after closing is 0.9595724

Y=-2x - 2<br> y=7x - 20<br> Solve each by substitution
valina [46]

Answer:

(2, -6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Because each equation is equal to y, you can plug the y equal to each other.  Because one y is equal to -2x-2 and the other is 7x-20, you can set them equal to each other.  So you should have

-2x - 2 = 7x - 20

The next step is to solve for x, which mean that x is 2, then plug 2 into one of the original equations ( it doesn't matter which one) and solve for y, and when you do that, you will get -6
