Multi-step K is the midpoint of JL, JL=4x-2, and JK=7. Find x, KL, and JL

1 answer:

7 0

If K is midpoint of JL then JK = 0.5JL

JL = 4x - 2; JK = 7

The equation:
0.5(4x - 2) = 7
2x - 1 = 7 |add 1 to both sides
2x = 8 |divide both sides by 2
x = 4

JL = 4(4) - 2 = 16 - 2 = 14

KL = JK = 7

Find the coefficient of the 4th term in expansion of (x +2 )^5

LuckyWell [14K]

$(x + 2)^5=(x+2)^2\cdot{(x+2)^2}\cdot{(x+2)}\\\\(x+2)^5=(x^2+4x+4)\cdot{(x^2+4x+4)}\cdot(x+2)$

$(x+2)^5=(x^4+8x^3+24x^2+32x+16)\cdot(x+2)$

$(x+2)^5=x^5+10x^4+40x^3+80x^2+80x+32$

Eeeeeeek need help! 5/3w = -10 A. -6 B. -1/6 C. -50/3 D. -5/6

xenn [34]

multiply both sides by the reciprical of 5/3 so:

3/5(5/3)w=-10(3/5)

w=-30/5= -6
