Find two integers whose product is 138 such that one of the integers is seven less than five times the other integer.

Answer: the integers are 6 and 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent one of the integers.

Let y represent the other integer.

The product of the integers is 138. This means that

xy = 138 - - - - - - - - - -1

One of the integers is seven less than five times the other integer. This means that

x = 5y - 7

Substituting x = 5y - 7 into equation 1, it becomes

y(5y - 7) = 138

5y² - 7y = 138

5y² - 7y - 138 = 0

5y² + 23y - 30y - 138 = 0

y(5y + 23) - 6(5y + 23)

y - 6 = 0 or 5y + 23 = 0

y = 6 or y = - 23/5

The only possible value of y is 6

x = 138/y = 138/6

x = 23

Give the expression 4n^2t/2n^t-1, write the expression as a binomial.
lubasha [3.4K]

 <span>binomial </span>is an algebraic expression containing 2 terms. For example, (x + y) is a binomial.

We sometimes need to expand binomials as follows:

(a + b)0 = 1

(a + b)1 = a + b

(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2

(a + b)3 = a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3

<span>(a + b)4</span> <span>= a4 + 4a3b</span><span> + 6a2b2 + 4ab3 + b4</span>

<span>(a + b)5</span> <span>= a5 + 5a4b</span> <span>+ 10a3b2</span><span> + 10a2b3 + 5ab4 + b5</span>

Clearly, doing this by direct multiplication gets quite tedious and can be rather difficult for larger powers or more complicated expressions.

Pascal's Triangle

We note that the coefficients (the numbers in front of each term) follow a pattern. [This was noticed long before Pascal, by the Chinese.]

1

1 1

1 2 1

1 3 3 1

1 4 6 4 1

1 5 10 10 5 1

1 6 15 20 15 6 1

You can use this pattern to form the coefficients, rather than multiply everything out as we did above.

The Binomial Theorem

We use the binomial theorem to help us expand binomials to any given power without direct multiplication. As we have seen, multiplication can be time-consuming or even not possible in some cases.

<span>Properties of the Binomial Expansion <span>(a + b)n</span></span><span><span>There are <span>\displaystyle{n}+{1}<span>n+1</span></span> terms.</span><span>The first term is <span>an</span> and the final term is <span>bn</span>.</span></span><span>Progressing from the first term to the last, the exponent of a decreases by <span>\displaystyle{1}1</span> from term to term while the exponent of b increases by <span>\displaystyle{1}1</span>. In addition, the sum of the exponents of a and b in each term is n.</span><span>If the coefficient of each term is multiplied by the exponent of a in that term, and the product is divided by the number of that term, we obtain the coefficient of the next term.</span>

A superhero recently asked his nemesis how many cats she has. she answered with a riddle: "seven eights" of my cats plus two" ho
ryzh [129]
<span>If the nemesis has "7/8 of her cats plus 2" it can be written like this: 7/8 x + 2 = x, where x is the number of the cats. After that we can solve the equation. x - 7/8 x = 2; 1/8 x = 2; x = 2 : 1/8 = 2 * 8 = 16. Answer: The nemesis has 16 cats.</span>

There are 240 coins in a jar, all dimes and quarters. The value of the coins in the jar is $27.60. There are nine times as many
SashulF [63]
I believe it is 28 dimes
.25 × 30 = 7.50
.10 × 190 = 19
19 + 7.50 = 26.50
Then, you add 4 more quarters which is 27.50 and the 28 dime makes it 27.60
