Find the coefficient to the x4 term in the expansion of (x + 4) 6.
Tresset [83]

Answer:

  240

Step-by-step explanation:

The x^k term will be ...

  (6Ck)(x^k)(4^(6-k))

For k=4, this is ...

  (6C4)(x^4)(4^2) = 15·16·x^4 = 240x^4

The coefficient of x^4 is 240.

_____

nCk = n!/(k!(n-k)!)

There are three power plants [X, Y, Z] that at any given time each one either generates electricity or idles. Event A is that pl
insens350 [35]

We're told that

P(A\cap B)=0.15

P(A\cup B)^C=0.06\implies P(A\cup B)=0.94

P(B\mid A)=P(B^C\mid A)=0.5

where the last fact is due to the law of total probability:

P(A)=P(A\cap B)+P(A\cap B^C)

\implies P(A)=P(B\mid A)P(A)+P(B^C\mid A)P(A)

\implies 1=P(B\mid A)+P(B^C\mid A)

so that B\mid A and B^C\mid A are complementary.

By definition of conditional probability, we have

P(B\mid A)=P(B^C\mid A)

\implies\dfrac{P(A\cap B)}{P(A)}=\dfrac{P(A\cap B^C)}{P(A)}

\implies P(A\cap B)=P(A\cap B^C)

We make use of the addition rule and complementary probabilities to rewrite this as

P(A\cap B)=P(A\cap B^C)

\implies P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B^C)-P(A\cup B^C)

\implies P(B)-[1-P(A\cup B)^C]=[1-P(B)]-P(A\cup B^C)

\implies2P(B)=2-[P(A\cup B)^C+P(A\cup B^C)]

\implies2P(B)=[1-P(A\cup B)^C]+[1-P(A\cup B^C)]

\implies2P(B)=P(A\cup B)+P(A\cup B^C)^C

\implies2P(B)=P(A\cup B)+P(A^C\cap B)\quad(*)

By the law of total probability,

P(B)=P(A\cap B)+P(A^C\cap B)

\implies P(A^C\cap B)=P(B)-P(A\cap B)

and substituting this into (*) gives

2P(B)=P(A\cup B)+[P(B)-P(A\cap B)]

\implies P(B)=P(A\cup B)-P(A\cap B)

\implies P(B)=0.94-0.15=\boxed{0.79}

Please Help!!
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

T(n) = [n(n + 1)] ÷ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Sequence = 1, 3, 6

First term = 1

Second term = first term + 2 = 3

Third term = second term + 3 = 6

From the sequence :

Each successive term is doubled together with an increment of '1', that is;

Term 'n' : n(n + 1)

Then, the total is divided by the term 'n'.

Therefore, the nth term is expressed as

T(n) = [n(n + 1)] ÷ 2

For instance,

n = 1

T(1) = [1(1 + 1)] ÷ 2

T(1) = 1

n = 3

T(3) = [3(3 + 1)] ÷ 2

T(3) = 12 ÷ 2 = 6
