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

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}

The population of the world was about 5.3 billion in 1990. Birth rates in the 1990s range from 35 to 40 million per year and dea
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

  24.1 billion

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to write the logistic function is ...

  P(t) = AB/(A +(B-A)e^(-kt))

where A is initial value (P(0)), and B is the carrying capacity (P(∞)). We are told to use relative population growth in the 1990s as the value for k.

In billions, we have ...

  A = 5.3

  B = 100

  k = 0.02/5.3 ≈ 0.003774 . . . . . relative growth rate at 20 M per year

  t = 2450 -1990 = 460

  P(t)=\dfrac{530}{5.3+94.7e^{-0.003774t}}\\\\P(460)=\dfrac{530}{5.3+94.7e^{-1.73604}}\approx \boxed{24.1\quad\text{billion}}

Megan owns a clothing boutique. The table below represents the profit made, in dollars, every year since 2010, where x represent
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:C.  Since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is symmetric about the line x = 3.


Step-by-step explanation:

Let the profit made by the boutique is given by the function y(x) then

We can see

Profit made in year 2011=profit made in year 2015

i.e.y(1)=y(5)=$84,000

profit made in year 2012=profit made in year 2014

i.e.y(2)=y(4)=$111,000

And profit made in year 2013 is standing in middle as y(3)=$120,000

which gives the line of symmetry x=3.(with reference to the figure)

Therefore, the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is symmetric about the line x = 3.

Line of symmetry is an imaginary line that divides a line or shape making two identical halves.
