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

Mathematics
1 answer:
ladessa [460]3 years ago

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

a system of equations is shown below: x y = 3 2x − y = 6 the x−coordinate of the solution to this system of equations is _____.
pychu [463]
If you would like to solve the system of equations x + y = 3 and 2x - y = 6, you can do this using the following steps:

<span>x + y = 3 ... y = 3 - x
2x - y = 6
</span>_________
<span>2x - y = 6
</span>2x - (3 - x) = 6
2x - 3 + x = 6
3x = 6 + 3
3x = 9     /3
x = 9/3
x = 3

<span>y = 3 - x = 3 - 3 = 0
</span>
The correct result would be x = 3.

A disc jockey wants to select 4 songs from a new cd that contains 12 songs. How many ways can the disc jockey choose four songs?
WARRIOR [948]

I suppose a DJ wants to select 4 different songs, then there are: 12*11*10*9 = 11880 ways to choose them.

If the order of the songs he plays doesn't matter, there are: \frac{12 * 11 * 10 *9 }{4!} = 495 ways to choose them.
