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

one angle has a measure that is less than 15 than two times a number. a second angle is three times the number. the angles are c
adell [148]

Answer:

27 degrees and 63 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the number.

Angle 1: 2n-15

Angle 2: 3n

If the angles are complementary they add up to 90.

Therefore we can write an equation.

2n-15+3n=90

Combine like terms

5n-15=90

Add 15 to both sides

5n=105

n=21

Now we plug 21 in for n and solve for the angles

Angle 1 = 2(21)-15

Angle 1 = 42-15

Angle 1 = 27

Angle 2 = 3(21)

Angle 2 = 63

How is a net useful when finding the surface area of prisms and pyramids?
Sladkaya [172]
I believe it is because with a net you simply find the area, and measuring 2D shapes is far easier than 3D shapes.
Hope this helped!
