Answer:

$\frac{5}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Talia spent $\frac{3}{4}$ of this week's allowance on candy. Of the money she spent on candy $\frac{5}{6}$ was spent on gummy bears.

To find the fraction of this week's allowance spent on gummy bears, we will multiply both fractions as:

$\text{Fraction of this week's allowance spent on gummy bears}=\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{5}{6}$

$\text{Fraction of this week's allowance spent on gummy bears}=\frac{3*5}{4*2*3}$

$\text{Fraction of this week's allowance spent on gummy bears}=\frac{5}{8}$

Therefore, Talia spent $\frac{5}{8}$ of this week's allowance on gummy bears.

What is the fourth term in the binomial expansion (a+b)^6)

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

$20a^3b^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Binomial Series</u>

$(a+b)^n=a^n+\dfrac{n!}{1!(n-1)!}a^{n-1}b+\dfrac{n!}{2!(n-2)!}a^{n-2}b^2+...+\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}a^{n-r}b^r+...+b^n$

<u>Factorial</u> is denoted by an exclamation mark "!" placed after the number. It means to multiply all whole numbers from the given number down to 1.

Example: 4! = 4 × 3 × 2 × 1

Therefore, the fourth term in the binomial expansion (a + b)⁶ is:

$\implies \dfrac{n!}{3!(n-3)!}a^{n-3}b^3$

$\implies \dfrac{6!}{3!(6-3)!}a^{6-3}b^3$

$\implies \dfrac{6!}{3!3!}a^{3}b^3$

$\implies \left(\dfrac{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times \diagup\!\!\!\!3 \times \diagup\!\!\!\!2 \times \diagup\!\!\!\!1}{3 \times 2 \times 1 \times \diagup\!\!\!\!3 \times \diagup\!\!\!\!2 \times \diagup\!\!\!\!1}\right)a^{3}b^3$

$\implies \left(\dfrac{120}{6}\right)a^{3}b^3$

$\implies 20a^3b^3$

If the area of the blue square is 144 units2 and the area of the pink square is 1225 units2, then the length of the hypotenuse i

navik [9.2K]

Answer: 37 units

Step-by-step explanation:

$Blue=144units^2$ This also works as the height of the triangle.

$Pink=1225units^2$ This also works as the base of the triangle.

Let's call pink ''a'', and blue ''b''. The side we're looking for ''c'' is the hypothenuse.

To find the values of a and b, use the area formula of a square and solve for a side. In this case, since we're going to need the squared values, this step can be omitted.

$Formula: A=s^2$

$s=\sqrt[]{A}$

Let's work with Blue.

$s=\sqrt[]{144units^2} \\s=12units$

Now Pink.

$s=\sqrt[]{1225units^2}\\s=35units$

So we have a triangle with a base of 35 units and a height of 12 units.

Now let's use the pythagoream's theorem to solve.

$c^2=a^2+b^2\\c=\sqrt[]{a^2+b^2} \\c=\sqrt[]{(12units)^2+(35units)^2}\\c=\sqrt[]{144units^2+1225units^2}\\ c=\sqrt[]{1369units^2}\\ c=37units$

Composition about myself in 150 words

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

I am a student who’s studying in a prestigious college in Bangalore city. It’s a city where I grew up. I live in a town with my family. The school I studied till 12th is also in the town.

Things I am good at

Almost everyone is kind at least one sport. The one competition that I am good at is basketball. In my school, almost everyone had an obsession with the sport, and so did I. Every game period, my teacher would make us play basketball, along with other games. Over the years, the way I played basketball improved, and while learning the game, I discovered other lessons as well. One of the lessons I’ve learned is how to play in a team. When you play in a group, you depend on each other for winning.

I have always been energetic and lively. While many people feel awkward and weird, making me friends, I have no problems with making new friends. I can talk to everyone quickly and know them.

This is not about me took it from the web!!

Hope it helps!!!
