Answer:
There are ways for quickly multiply out a binomial that's being raised by an exponent. Like
(a + b)0 = 1
(a + b)1 = a + b
(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
(a + b)3 = (a + b)(a + b)2 = (a + b)(a2 + 2ab + b2) = a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3
and so on and so on
but there was this mathematician named Blaise Pascal and he found a numerical pattern, called Pascal's Triangle, for quickly expanding a binomial like the ones from earlier. It looks like this
1 1
2 1 2 1
3 1 3 3 1
4 1 4 6 4 1
5 1 5 10 10 5 1
Pascal's Triangle gives us the coefficients for an expanded binomial of the form (a + b)n, where n is the row of the triangle.
Hope this helps!
(cube root of 5) * sqrt(5)
--------------------------------- = ?
(cube root of 5^5)
This becomes easier if we switch to fractional exponents:
5^(1/3) * 5^(1/2) 5^(1/3 + 1/2) 5^(5/6)
------------------------ = --------------------- = ------------- = 5^[5/6 - 5/3]
[ 5^5 ]^(1/3) 5^(5/3) 5^(5/3)
Note that 5/6 - 5/3 = 5/6 - 10/6 = -5/6.
1
Thus, 5^[5/6 - 5/3] = 5^(-5/6) = --------------
5^(5/6)
That's the correct answer. But if you want to remove the fractional exponent from the denominator, do this:
1 5^(1/6) 5^(1/6)
---------- * ------------- = -------------- (ANSWER)
5^(5/6) 5^(1/6) 5
Answer:
20.53 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed = Distance/Time = 30/7
Time = Distance / Speed
= 5280/30/7
= 1232 seconds / 60 = 20.53 minutes

Answer: C
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is in y=mx+b format. The y is the final amount that you will have to pay. The m in this case is the amount of money that you are paying for each individual month (which is $34.99). The x in this case is the number of months you are paying for (which is 1). And b is the starting fee that you have to pay in order to get a membership in the first place (but will not have to pay after the first month). Thus, seeing as there is 1 month's worth of payment and a starting fee tagged on, y would equal the average total cost for the first month of a gym membership.
