Answer:
3,247,695
Step-by-step explanation:
We want the coefficient of the term with x^8
So Use Newton's Binomial Expansion formula
Formula is (x + y) ^n = Sum for i=0 to n (n choose i) x^(n-i)*y^i
here (x^2 + 3) ^ 12
( 12 choose i) * (x^2)^(12-i) * (3)^i
i needs to equal 8 for us to get x^8
(12 choose 8) * (x^2)^(12-8) * (3^8)
= (12 choose 8) * x^8 * (3^8)
so a = (12 choose 8) * 
a = (12! /(8! * 4!) ) * 
a = ( 12*11*10*9/ 4*3*2*1) * 
a = (11*5*9) * 
a = 11*5*9 * 6561
a = 3,247,695
For the probability of one thing or another, you add the two probabilities together. In that case, the probability of getting 3 or 4 is (2/3) + (1/8) = 19/24
Answer:
19404
Step-by-step explanation:
sum of arithmetic series is
Sn = n/2 (2a + (n-1)d)
or
Sn = n/2 (a + an)
a = 1st unit
an = last unit
d = difference
8-3 or 13-8 so d = 5
then first step is to find the value of n
an = a + (n-1)d
438 = 3 + (n-1)5
438 - 3 = 5n - 5
435 = 5n - 5
435 + 5 = 5n
440 = 5n
n = 440/5
n = 88
then we can find the sum
Sn = 88/2 (3 + 438)
S88 = 19404
