alex needs to varnish the top and the bottom of a dozen rectangular wooden planks.The planks are 8 feet long and 3 feet wide.Eac

h pint of varnish covers about 125 square feet and costs $3.50. A:What is the total area that alex needs to varnish? B:How much will it cost alex to varnish all the wooden planks?

Given:
12 rectangular planks
2 sides per plank
Length = 8 ft
Width = 3 ft

Area of a rectangle = Length * Width.
A = 8ft * 3ft
A = 24 ft²

24 ft² x 2 sides of a plank = 48 ft²
48 ft²/plank * 12 planks = 576 ft² is the total area Alex needs to varnish.

576 ft² ÷ 125 ft² = 4.608 pint or round to 5 pints

5 pints x $3.50/pint = $17.50 Total cost that Alex need to spend to varnish all the wooden planks.

Binomial Expansion/Pascal's triangle. Please help with all of number 5.

Mandarinka [93]

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

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).

What is the solution to this inequality?

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf{D. \quad x < 3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

It is necessary to isolate the term of x from one side of an inequality to find its solution.

<h3>-4x-8>-20</h3>

<u>First, add by 8 from both sides.</u>

$\sf{-4x-8+8 > -20+8}$

<u>Solve.</u>

-20+8=-12

<u>Rewrite the problem down.</u>

$\sf{-4x > -12}$

<u>Multiply by -1 from both sides.</u>

(-4x)(-1)<(-12)(-1)

<u>Solve.</u>

<u>Multiply the numbers from left to right.</u>

(-12)(-1)=12

4x<12

<u>Divide by 4 from both sides.</u>

4x/4<12/4

<u>Solve.</u>

<u>Divide the numbers from left to right.</u>

12/4=3

<u>x<3</u>

<u>Therefore, the correct answer is D. x<3 (last option).</u>

I hope this helps you! Let me know if my answer is wrong or not.
