Answer:

x = 74.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the trigonometric ratio formula, the missing side, x, of the right angled triangle, can be found as follows:

Ѳ = 22°,

adjacent side length = x

Opposite side length = 30

Thus, we would apply the formula:

tan Ѳ = opposite length/adjacent length

$tan 22 = \frac{30}{x}$

Multiply both sides by x

$tan 22*x = \frac{30}{x}*x$

$tan 22*x = 30$

$0.4040*x = 30$

Divide both sides by 0.4040 to make x the subject of the formula

$\frac{0.4040*x}{0.4040} = \frac{30}{0.4040}$

$x = \frac{30}{0.4040}$

$x = 74.26$

x ≈ 74.3 (to the nearest tenth)

In the expansion (ax+by)^7, the coefficients of the first two terms are 128 and -224, respectively. Find the values of a and b

Answer:

a = 2, b = 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Expanding $(ax+by)^7$ using Binomial expansion, we have that:

$(ax+by)^7$ =

$(ax)^7(by)^0 + (ax)^6(by)^1 + (ax)^5(by)^2 + (ax)^4(by)^3 + (ax)^3(by)^4 + (ax)^2(by)^5 + (ax)^1(by)^6 + (ax)^0(by)^7$

$= (a)^7(x)^7+ (a)^6(x)^6(b)(y) + (a)^5(x)^5(b)^2(y)^2 + (a)^4(x)^4(b)^3(y)^3 + (a)^3(x)^3(b)^4(y)^4 + (a)^2(x)^2(b)^5(y)^5 + (a)(x)(b)^6(y)^6 + (b)^7(y)^7\\\\\\= (a)^7(x)^7+ (a)^6(b)(x)^6(y) + (a)^5(b)^2(x)^5(y)^2 + (a)^4(b)^3(x)^4(y)^3 + (a)^3(b)^4(x)^3(y)^4 + (a)^2(b)^5(x)^2(y)^5 + (a)(b)^6(x)(y)^6 + (b)^7(y)^7$
