I'm going to assume that they are on parallel tracks, and not the same track.

60x=40(x+2)

60x=40x+80

20x=80

x=4

You can check the work I've provided by filling in the answer for x into the initial question.

pam deposited $6,900 in a savings account with simple interest. Four months later she had earned $23 in interest. What was the i
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

1%

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the simple interest equation of A=P(1+rt).

A-the total amount with interest earned

P-the initial amount or principal

r-rate

t-time in years

We substitute the values P=6900, A=6923, and t=0.33 since 4 months divided by 12 months is 0.333 years. We then solve for r.

6923=6900(1+r(0.33))\\6923=6900(1+0.33r)\\\frac{6923}{6900} =\frac{6900(1+0.33r)}{6900} \\1.0033=1+0.33r\\1.0033-1=1-1+0.33r\\0.0033=0.33r

Our final step is to divide both sides by 0.33.

\frac{0.0033}{0.33} =\frac{0.33r}{0.33} \\0.01=r

This is the decimal of the rate. We convert to a percentage by multiplying by 100. 0.01(100)=1%.

Which expression correctly displays the calculations to find the a^5b^4 term of (a+b)^8
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

THE BINOMIAL THEOREM shows how to calculate a power of a binomial -- (a + b)n -- without actually multiplying.

For example, if we actually multiplied out the 4th power of (a + b) --

(a + b)4 = (a + b)(a + b)(a + b)(a + b)

-- then on collecting like terms we would find:

(a + b)4 = a4 + 4a3b + 6a2b2 + 4ab3 + b4 .  .  .  .  (1)

Note:  The literal factors are all possible terms in a and b where the sum of the exponents is 4:  a4,  a3b,  a2b2,  ab3,  b4.

The degree of each term is 4.

The first term is actually a4b0, which is a4 · 1.

Thus to "expand" (a + b)5, we would anticipate the following terms, in which the sum of all the exponents is 5:

(a + b)5 =  ? a5 +  ? a4b +  ? a3b2 +  ? a2b3 +  ? ab4 +  ? b5

The question is, What are the coefficients?

They are called the binomial coefficients.  In the expansion of

(a + b)4, the binomial coefficients are

1  4  6  4  1

line (1) above.

 Note the symmetry:  The coefficients from left to right are the same right to left.

The answer to the question, "What are the binomial coefficients?" is called the binomial theorem.  It shows how to calculate the coefficients in the expansion of (a + b)n.

The symbol for a binomial coefficient is The binomial theorem.  The upper index n is the exponent of the expansion; the lower index k indicates which term, starting with k = 0.

For example, when n = 5, each term in the expansion of  (a + b)5  will look like this:

The binomial theorema5 − kbk

k will successively take on the values 0 through 5.

(a + b)5 = The binomial theorema5  +  The binomial theorema4b  +  The binomial theorema3b2  +  The binomial theorema2b3  +  The binomial theorem ab4  +  The binomial theoremb5

Note:  Each lower index is the exponent of b.  The first term has k = 0 because in the first term, b appears as b0, which is 1.

Now, what are these binomial coefficients, The binomial theorem ?

The theorem states that the binomial coefficients are none other than the combinatorial numbers, nCk .

The binomial theorem  =  nCk

 (a + b)5  =  5C0a5 + 5C1a4b + 5C2a3b2 + 5C3a2b3 + 5C4ab4 + 5C5b5

  =  1a5 + The binomial theorema4b + The binomial theorema3b2 + The binomial theorema2b3 + The binomial theoremab4 + The binomial theoremb5

  =  a5  +  5a4b  +  10a3b2  +  10a2b3  +  5ab4  +  b5

The binomial coefficients here are

1  5  10  10  5  1.
