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 />

Jake completed a marathon race in 3 hours and 12 minutes. What would be Jake's running time as a decimal?
VikaD [51]

\text{Given that Jake completed a marathon race in 3 hours and 12 minutes.}\\&#10;\\&#10;\text{we need to find this time in decimals. so we will convert 12 minutes into hours}\\&#10;\\&#10;\text{We know that there are 60 minutes in 1 hour. }\\&#10;\\&#10;\text{so in 1 minute there will be}=\frac{1}{60 }\text{ hour}

\text{hence in 12 minutes we have}=\frac{1}{60}\times 12=\frac{1}{5}=0.2 \text{ hours}\\&#10;\\&#10;\text{hence the Jake's running time is}=3\text{hours + 12 minute}\\&#10;\\&#10;=3\text{ hours}+0.2 \text{ hours}\\&#10;\\&#10;=3.2 \text{ hours}

Hence, Jake's running time in decimal is: 3.2 hours

find the slope between each pair of points please help with these three questions and i’ll mark the brain thing !
madam [21]

(If It's a number like this: 8/9 then it's a fraction)

Answer:

<h2><em><u>9. -2/6</u></em></h2><h2><em><u>10. -6/-10</u></em></h2><h2><em><u>11. 3/4</u></em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Yay, I love doing these!

9.} 6 - 8 and 4- -2= -2/6

10.} 3 - 9 and -1 - 9= -6/-10

11.} -1 - -7 and 5 - -3= 6/8 simplify it by 2= 3/4
