Answer: Yes

Step-by-step explanation: To see which is greater, notice that 3/4 and 7/8 are unlike fractions so we need to get a common denominator.

The common denominator of 8 and 4 is the least common multiple of 8 and 4 or 8. Notice that our first fraction 7/8 already has an 8 in the denominator so it stays the same. To get a 8 in the denominator of 3/4, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 2 which gives us 6/8.

Notice that we now have like fractions since both fractions have an 8 in the denominator. To compare like fractions, we simply look at the numerators. Here, since 7 is bigger than 6, 7/8 is greater than 6/8.

So yes, 7/8 is greater than 3/4.

Answer:

$15.75x^{10}y^{19}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the 5th term in the expansion, we first will need to apply the binomial theorem. I have attached an image of the binomial theorem formula due to not being able to type it.

After applying the binomial theorem and simplifying, you should get:

$512x^{18}y^{27}-576x^{16}y^{25}+288x^{14}y^{23}-84x^{12}y^{21}+\frac{63x^{10}y^{19}}{4}-\frac{63x^8y^{17}}{32}+\frac{21x^6y^{15}}{128}-\frac{9x^4y^{13}}{1024}+\frac{9x^2y^{11}}{32768}-\frac{y^9}{262144}$
