Use Pascal's Triangle to determine the second term of the expansion of (x - 2)^5

Mathematics

Pascal's triangle up to the 5th iteration is

\begin{array}{cccccc}1\\1&1\\1&2&1\\1&3&3&1\\1&4&6&4&1\\1&5&10&10&5&1\end{array}

This tells us

(x-2)^5=\boxed{1}x^5(-2)^0+\boxed{5}x^4(-2)^1+\boxed{10}x^3(-2)^2+\boxed{10}x^2(-2)^3+\boxed{5}x^1(-2)^4+\boxed{1}x^0(-2)^5

so the second term in the expansion is

5x^4(-2)^1=\boxed{-10x^4}

liraira [26]

Answer:

150.51 dB

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

decibel level of sound at 161 km distance = 180 dB

d₁ = 161 km

d₂ = 4800 km

I₁ = 180 db

The formula for intensity of sound is given as:

I = 10\log(\frac{I_2}{I_1})

and the relation between intensity and distance is given as:

I ∝ \frac{1}{d^2}

or

Id² = constant

thus,

I₁d₁² = I₂d₂²

or

\frac{I_2}{I_1}=\frac{d_1}{d_2}

therefore,

I = 10\log(\frac{d_1}{d_2})^2

or

I = 10\times2\times\log(\frac{161}{4,800})

or

I = 20 × (-1.474)

or

I = -29.49

Therefore,

the decibel level on Rodriguez Island, 4,800 km away

= 180 - 29.49

= 150.51 dB
