Answer:

<em>C.</em> (5-\frac{1}{2})^6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

15(5)^2(-\frac{1}{2})^4

Required

Determine which binomial expansion it came from

The first step is to add the powers of he expression in brackets;

Sum = 2 + 4

Sum = 6

Each term of a binomial expansion are always of the form:

(a+b)^n = ......+ ^nC_ra^{n-r}b^r+.......

Where n = the sum above

n = 6

Compare 15(5)^2(-\frac{1}{2})^4 to the above general form of binomial expansion

(a+b)^n = ......+15(5)^2(-\frac{1}{2})^4+.......

Substitute 6 for n

(a+b)^6 = ......+15(5)^2(-\frac{1}{2})^4+.......

[Next is to solve for a and b]

<em>From the above expression, the power of (5) is 2</em>

<em>Express 2 as 6 - 4</em>

(a+b)^6 = ......+15(5)^{6-4}(-\frac{1}{2})^4+.......

By direct comparison of

(a+b)^n = ......+ ^nC_ra^{n-r}b^r+.......

and

(a+b)^6 = ......+15(5)^{6-4}(-\frac{1}{2})^4+.......

We have;

^nC_ra^{n-r}b^r= 15(5)^{6-4}(-\frac{1}{2})^4

Further comparison gives

^nC_r = 15

a^{n-r} =(5)^{6-4}

b^r= (-\frac{1}{2})^4

[Solving for a]

By direct comparison of a^{n-r} =(5)^{6-4}

a = 5

n = 6

r = 4

[Solving for b]

By direct comparison of b^r= (-\frac{1}{2})^4

r = 4

b = \frac{-1}{2}

Substitute values for a, b, n and r in

(a+b)^n = ......+ ^nC_ra^{n-r}b^r+.......

(5+\frac{-1}{2})^6 = ......+ ^6C_4(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......

(5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+ ^6C_4(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......

Solve for ^6C_4

(5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+ \frac{6!}{(6-4)!4!)}*(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......

(5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+ \frac{6!}{2!!4!}*(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......

(5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+ \frac{6*5*4!}{2*1*!4!}*(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......

(5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+ \frac{6*5}{2*1}*(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......

(5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+ \frac{30}{2}*(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......

(5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+15*(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......

(5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+15(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......

(5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+15(5)^2(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......

<em>Check the list of options for the expression on the left hand side</em>

<em>The correct answer is </em>(5-\frac{1}{2})^6<em />

Simplify completely: 8x+4/x^3+23÷4x^2-10x-6/9-x^2
Helen [10]

Answer:

The simplified form is: -x^2-2x+\frac{4}{x^3}+\frac{23}{4x^2}-\frac{2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify the expression given we, need to open the brackets, and if there is power term. Then we need to group all the like terms and then arrange in the descending order of powers of the given expression.

Now the expression that is given to us is:

8x+\frac{4}{x^3}+\frac{23}{4x^2}-10x-\frac{6}{9}-x^2

Here we will simplify it by grouping the like terms, as follows:

8x+\frac{4}{x^3}+\frac{23}{4x^2}-10x-\frac{6}{9}-x^2\\=-x^2+8x-10x+\frac{4}{x^3}+\frac{23}{4x^2}-\frac{6}{9}=-x^2-2x+\frac{4}{x^3}+\frac{23}{4x^2}-\frac{2}{3}

So this is the required simplified form.
