Middle term in expansion of. (x+1/x)^18​

Mathematics

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I used Pascal's Triangle to the 19th row (that took forever!!) and the leading coefficients are as follows:

1, 18, 153, 816, 3060, 8568, 18564, 31824, 43758, 48620, 43758, 31824, 18564, 8568, 3060, 816, 153, 18, 1

You need the middle term so we can stop the expansion at 48,620.  We will choose an a and a b from the binomial to be a = x and b = 1/x.  Start with the coefficients from above in order and follow the pattern:

1(x)¹⁸(1/x)⁰ + 18(x)¹⁷(1/x)¹ + 153(x)¹⁶(1/x)² + 816(x)¹⁵(1/x)³ + 3060(x)¹⁴(1/x)⁴ + 8568(x)¹³(1/x)⁵ + 18564(x)¹²(1/x)⁶ + 31824(x)¹¹(1/x)⁷ + 43758(x)¹⁰(1/x)⁸ + 48620(x)⁹(1/x)⁹

That last term there is the middle term.  Simplified it looks like this:

\frac{48620x^9}{x^9} which is simplified to just 48620

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

At the point where two line cut across, the vertically opposite angles formed are equal. This means that

2x degrees = 78 degrees

Dividing the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 2, it becomes

2x/2 = 78/2

x = 39

Checking,

The sum of the angles on a straight line is 180 degrees.

180 - 78 = 102 degrees

2x + 102 = 180

2x = 180 - 102 = 78

x = 78/2 = 39
