\begin{matrix}1\\1&1\\1&2&1\\1&3&3&1\\1&4&6&4&1\end{bmatrix}

The rows add up to 1,2,4,8,16, respectively. (Notice they're all powers of 2)

The sum of the numbers in row n is 2^{n-1}.

The last problem can be solved with the binomial theorem, but I'll assume you don't take that for granted. You can prove this claim by induction. When n=1,

(1+x)^1=1+x=\dbinom10+\dbinom11x

so the base case holds. Assume the claim holds for n=k, so that

(1+x)^k=\dbinom k0+\dbinom k1x+\cdots+\dbinom k{k-1}x^{k-1}+\dbinom kkx^k

Use this to show that it holds for n=k+1.

(1+x)^{k+1}=(1+x)(1+x)^k
(1+x)^{k+1}=(1+x)\left(\dbinom k0+\dbinom k1x+\cdots+\dbinom k{k-1}x^{k-1}+\dbinom kkx^k\right)
(1+x)^{k+1}=1+\left(\dbinom k0+\dbinom k1\right)x+\left(\dbinom k1+\dbinom k2\right)x^2+\cdots+\left(\dbinom k{k-2}+\dbinom k{k-1}\right)x^{k-1}+\left(\dbinom k{k-1}+\dbinom kk\right)x^k+x^{k+1}

Notice that

\dbinom k\ell+\dbinom k{\ell+1}=\dfrac{k!}{\ell!(k-\ell)!}+\dfrac{k!}{(\ell+1)!(k-\ell-1)!}
\dbinom k\ell+\dbinom k{\ell+1}=\dfrac{k!(\ell+1)}{(\ell+1)!(k-\ell)!}+\dfrac{k!(k-\ell)}{(\ell+1)!(k-\ell)!}
\dbinom k\ell+\dbinom k{\ell+1}=\dfrac{k!(\ell+1)+k!(k-\ell)}{(\ell+1)!(k-\ell)!}
\dbinom k\ell+\dbinom k{\ell+1}=\dfrac{k!(k+1)}{(\ell+1)!(k-\ell)!}
\dbinom k\ell+\dbinom k{\ell+1}=\dfrac{(k+1)!}{(\ell+1)!((k+1)-(\ell+1))!}
\dbinom k\ell+\dbinom k{\ell+1}=\dbinom{k+1}{\ell+1}

So you can write the expansion for n=k+1 as

(1+x)^{k+1}=1+\dbinom{k+1}1x+\dbinom{k+1}2x^2+\cdots+\dbinom{k+1}{k-1}x^{k-1}+\dbinom{k+1}kx^k+x^{k+1}

and since \dbinom{k+1}0=\dbinom{k+1}{k+1}=1, you have

(1+x)^{k+1}=\dbinom{k+1}0+\dbinom{k+1}1x+\cdots+\dbinom{k+1}kx^k+\dbinom{k+1}{k+1}x^{k+1}

and so the claim holds for n=k+1, thus proving the claim overall that

(1+x)^n=\dbinom n0+\dbinom n1x+\cdots+\dbinom n{n-1}x^{n-1}+\dbinom nnx^n

Setting x=1 gives

(1+1)^n=\dbinom n0+\dbinom n1+\cdots+\dbinom n{n-1}+\dbinom nn=2^n

which agrees with the result obtained for part (c).

La un supermarket sau vandut intro zi 32kg de banane si 86kg de portocale incasanduse 536 lei a doua zi sau vandut 96 kg de bana
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

the banana cost per kg is 6 and for orange it is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Let us assume the banana be x

And, the oranges be y

Now according to the question

There would be two equations

32x + 86y = 536.......(1)

96x + 52y = 784.........(2)

Now multiply by 3 in equation 1

96x + 258y = 1,608

96x + 52y = 784

258y - 52y = 1608 - 784

206y = 824

y = 4

And, the x would be

32x + 86(4) = 536

32x + 344 = 536

x = 6

Hence, the banana cost per kg is 6 and for orange it is 4
