We have to find the expansion of (3a+4b)^{8}

We will use binomial expansion to expand the given expression, which states that the expression (a+b)^{n} is expanded as :

(a+b)^{n}=^{n}C_{0}a^{n}+^{n}C_{1}a^{n-1}b+^{n}C_{2}a^{n-2}b^{2}+........^{n}C_{n}b^{n}

Now expanding (3a+4b)^{8} we get,

(3a+4b)^{8}=^{8}C_{0}(3a)^{8}+^{8}C_{1}(3a)^{7}(4b)+^{8}C_{2}(3a)^{6}(4b)^{2}+^{8}C_{3}(3a)^{5}(4b)^{3}+^{8}C_{4}(3a)^{4}(4b)^{4}+^{8}C_{5}(3a)^{3}(4b)^{5}+^{8}C_{6}(3a)^{2}(4b)^{6}+^{8}C_{7}(3a)(4b)^{7}+^{8}C_{8}(4b)^{8}

(3a+4b)^{8}=^{8}C_{0}(3)^{8}a^{8}+^{8}C_{1}(3)^{7}(4)(a^{7}b)+^{8}C_{2}(3)^{6}(4)^{2}(a^{6}b^{2})+^{8}C_{3}(3)^{5}(4)^{3}(a^{5}b^{3})+^{8}C_{4}(3)^{4}(4)^{4}(a^{4}b^{4})+^{8}C_{5}(3)^{3}(4)^{5}(a^{3}b^{5})+^{8}C_{6}(3)^{2}(4)^{6}(a^{2}b^{6})+^{8}C_{7}(3)(4)^{7}(ab^{7})+^{8}C_{8}(4)^{8}(b^{8})

So, the variables are a^{5}b^{3} , b^{8} , a^{4}b^{4} , a^{8}  , [tex] ab^{7}

8x -6=18 what does x equal
professor190 [17]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

8x -6 = 18

Add 6 to both sides.

8x = 24

Divide both sides by 8 to isolate x.

x = 3

Tony has a bucket filled with green, blue, yellow, and red markers. He removes 3 markers from the bucket, with replacement. Sele
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Options A), B), C), D)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 colors of markers.

Take out three "with replacement" markers.

As there is replacement, then the number of markers in the cube does not change in each trial.

A) There is a chance that when you get the three markers always get the same color.

B) It is likely to get a marker of each color

C) If 3 markers are taken it is likely to get the same amount of green and blue markers. For example, if there are 3 markers obtainable: blue, green, yellow. Then the number of blues and yellows is the same.

D) If 3 markers are taken it is likely to obtain the same amount of red and yellow markers. For example, if there are 3 markers you could obtain: red, yellow, blue. Then the number of reds and yellows is the same.

E) <u><em>It is impossible for this to happen</em></u>, because if only 3 markers of two different colors are taken, then there will always be 2 markers of one color and only one marker of another color:

green, green, yellow

blue, blue, green

blue, red, red .....

So the first 4 results are possible. Only the last result is impossible to obtain

Leona [35]
If the paint is 30% yellow, and you used 72 ounces of yellow, all you have to do is divide 72 by 30% to get the whole amount of ounces of paint made.
72 ÷ 0.30 = 240
In the last batch, you made 240 ounces of melon madness paint.

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWER ONLY PLEASE!!!
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:  (C) shifts 6 units to the LEFT

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The vertex form of an absolute value equation is:

y = a |x - h| + k    where;

  • a is the vertical stretch (irrelevant for this problem)
  • (h, k) is the vertex

Since h represents the x-coordinate and the x-axis is left to right, then h shifts  the graph left or right.

  • If h is negative, the graph shifts to the left.  
  • If h is positive, the graph shifts to the right.

x + 6 is actually x - (-6), so h is negative and the graph shifts to the left.
