Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: One number is four more than the other." is represented as 'x'

"One number is four more than the other." is represented as 'x+4'

"Their sum is fourteen." is represented as 'x+(x+4)=14'

"Find both numbers."

x+(x+4)=14

x+x+4=14 (add like terms)

2x+4=14 (isolate your 'x' variable on one side of the equality by subtracting 4 from both sides)

2x+4-4=14-4

2x=10 (isolate your 'x' variable by dividing by 2 from both sides)

2x/2=10/2

x=5 (this is the answer to one number)

x+4=5+4=9 (plug in 5 for 'x' and this is the answer to four more than another)

Your two numbers are 5 and 9.

(-4,r) (-8,3) m=5 Find r please!

viva [34]

Answer:

r = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

5 = (3 - r)/(-8 - (-4))

5 = (3 - r)/(-8 + 4)

3 - r = 5 × -4

3 - r = -20

-r = -23

r = 23

For the given term, find the binomial raised to the power, whose expansion it came from: 15(5)^2 (-1/2 x) ^4

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

C. $(5-\frac{1}{2})^6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$15(5)^2(-\frac{1}{2})^4$

Required

Determine which binomial expansion it came from

The first step is to add the powers of he expression in brackets;

$Sum = 2 + 4$

$Sum = 6$

Each term of a binomial expansion are always of the form:

$(a+b)^n = ......+ ^nC_ra^{n-r}b^r+.......$

Where n = the sum above

$n = 6$

Compare $15(5)^2(-\frac{1}{2})^4$ to the above general form of binomial expansion

$(a+b)^n = ......+15(5)^2(-\frac{1}{2})^4+.......$

Substitute 6 for n

$(a+b)^6 = ......+15(5)^2(-\frac{1}{2})^4+.......$

[Next is to solve for a and b]

From the above expression, the power of (5) is 2

Express 2 as 6 - 4

$(a+b)^6 = ......+15(5)^{6-4}(-\frac{1}{2})^4+.......$

By direct comparison of

$(a+b)^n = ......+ ^nC_ra^{n-r}b^r+.......$

and

$(a+b)^6 = ......+15(5)^{6-4}(-\frac{1}{2})^4+.......$

We have;

$^nC_ra^{n-r}b^r= 15(5)^{6-4}(-\frac{1}{2})^4$

Further comparison gives

$^nC_r = 15$

$a^{n-r} =(5)^{6-4}$

$b^r= (-\frac{1}{2})^4$

[Solving for a]

By direct comparison of $a^{n-r} =(5)^{6-4}$

$a = 5$

$n = 6$

$r = 4$

[Solving for b]

By direct comparison of $b^r= (-\frac{1}{2})^4$

$r = 4$

$b = \frac{-1}{2}$

Substitute values for a, b, n and r in

$(a+b)^n = ......+ ^nC_ra^{n-r}b^r+.......$

$(5+\frac{-1}{2})^6 = ......+ ^6C_4(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......$

$(5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+ ^6C_4(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......$

Solve for $^6C_4$

$(5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+ \frac{6!}{(6-4)!4!)}*(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......$

$(5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+ \frac{6!}{2!!4!}*(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......$

$(5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+ \frac{6*5*4!}{2*1*!4!}*(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......$

$(5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+ \frac{6*5}{2*1}*(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......$

$(5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+ \frac{30}{2}*(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......$

$(5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+15*(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......$

$(5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+15(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......$

$(5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+15(5)^2(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......$

Check the list of options for the expression on the left hand side

The correct answer is $(5-\frac{1}{2})^6$

Chantelle has 23 cookies. She gives 3 3/6 to her friend Emily how many does she have now

malfutka [58]

3 3/6 is the same as 3 1/2, so 23 take 3 is 20. 20 take 1/2 is 19 1/2.
