\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).

Mary and Julie both have a goal of raising $1000 for charity. Mary raises $12 every 4 days. Julie raises $19 every 6 days.
baherus [9]
Julie would reach her goal first. Julie would reach her goal in approximately 316 days while it would take Mary approximately 333 days to reach it.

I know this because the steps to solve the problem are:

1.) 1,000/12 = 83.333 (to find how many days it would take her everyday)

2.) 83.333x4 = 333 (multiplying the answer by four makes it every four days)

3.) determine that it takes Mary 333 days

4.) 1,000/19 = 52.631 (just like step 1 but with different numbers)

5.) 52.631x6 = 316 (just like in step 2 but different numbers)

6.) determine it takes Julie 316 days

7.) 316 < 333 (takes Julie less time)

Given the three vertices W(−1, 4), X(−3, −2), and Y(3, −4), what are the coordinates of Z that make quadrilateral WXYZ a square?
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

I don't see how the three existing points could ever become a square with the addition of a foiurth point.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached image.

A square would require that all angles be 90 degrees.  The given points are the top three points on the graph.  If we enter the two equations that intersect these points (blue and black lines), we can see that the angle on top is not 90 degrees.  I can't see that this could ever be a square with a fourth point, z.  I did find a value for z that make the four points a parallelogram.
