\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).

Rewrite the expression in the form 5^n<br><br> (5^-8) (5^-10)
oee [108]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is all about bases and exponents.  Because we have a quotient and the bases are both 5's, that means that we can use the rule of exponents for quotients to rewrite and simplify:

That's the simplification as long as you are "allowed" to leave the exponent as a negative number.

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Perimeter is 17.07

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that DF = EF = 5 cm, since D and E are the midpoints of AC and AB, both of which are 10 cm in length.

We need to use the Pythagorean theorem to get the length of DE.

DE = \sqrt{5^{2} +5^{2}}=\sqrt{50}  = 7.07\\

So the perimeter of DEF is 5 + 5 + 7.07 = 17.07

Y-6=-4(x+4) show steps.
Flauer [41]

Answer:

y = -4x - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

y-6=-4(x+4)

1: distributive property

y-6= -4x - 16

2: add 6 both sides

y = -4x - 10
