Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The last step is incorrect. When we divide both sides by a negative the inequality is flipped. The answer is x < -1/2.

Also they omitted the other possibility that the expression in the vertical lines could be negative.

We also have the inequality

- 4x + 1 < - 3

-4x < -4

x > 1.

Use Pascal's Triangle to determine the second term of the expansion of (x - 2)^5

goldfiish [28.3K]

Pascal's triangle up to the 5th iteration is

$\begin{array}{cccccc}1\\1&1\\1&2&1\\1&3&3&1\\1&4&6&4&1\\1&5&10&10&5&1\end{array}$

This tells us

$(x-2)^5=\boxed{1}x^5(-2)^0+\boxed{5}x^4(-2)^1+\boxed{10}x^3(-2)^2+\boxed{10}x^2(-2)^3+\boxed{5}x^1(-2)^4+\boxed{1}x^0(-2)^5$

so the second term in the expansion is

$5x^4(-2)^1=\boxed{-10x^4}$

10 - d = -34 - 5d show the work

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

d = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

10 - d = -34 - 5d

10 (- d + d) = -34 (- 5d + d)

10 = -34 - 4d

10 + 34 = (-34 + 34) - 4d

44 = 4d

44/4 = 4d/4

d = 11

david took 10 1/2 hours over 3 days to build airplane. he spent 3 1/4 hrs the firsr day and 4 2/3 hours the second day. how many

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

2 7/12 hours

X=101/2 - ( 3+4+1/4+2/3)

X=101/2 - 7 + (1/4+2/3)

1/4+2/3= 11/12

101/2 - 7 =3 1/5

X = 3 1/5 - 11/12 = 2 7/12
