What is the coefficient of y in the expression 3 ⋅ 4 5y? 5 9 12 17
2 answers:
<u>Answer:</u> The coefficient of 'y' in the equation is 5.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Coefficient in an equation is defined as the numeral value which is written beside the variable in an equation.
For the general quadratic equation:
'a' is the coefficient of and 'b' is the coefficient of 'x'.
For the given equation:
The coefficient of 'y' in the equation is 5.

as you can see, the terms exponents, for the first term, starts at highest, 5 in this case, then every element it goes down by 1, till it gets to 0
for the second term, starts at 0, and every element it goes up by 1, till it gets to the highest
now, to get the coefficient, they way I get it, is "the product of the current coefficient and the exponent of the first term, divided by the exponent of the second term plus 1"
notice the first coefficient is always 1
so...how did we get 10 for the 3rd element? well, 5*4/2
how did we get 10 for the fourth element? well, 10*2/4
and from there, you can simplify the elements of the expansion by combining the coefficients
like for example, the 7th element of (3a+4b)⁸ will then be 1032192a²b⁶
a)
Check the picture below.
b)
volume wise, we know the smaller pyramid is 1/8 th of the whole pyramid, so the volume of the whole pyramid must be 8/8 th.
Now, if we take off 1/8 th of the volume of whole pyramid, what the whole pyramid is left with is 7/8 th of its total volume, and that 7/8 th is the truncated part, because the 1/8 we chopped off from it, is the volume of the tiny pyramid atop.
Now, what's the ratio of the tiny pyramid to the truncated bottom?
