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 />

This is so confusing all of it makes no sense
Tom [10]

Answer:

D). 4\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>STEP 1a:</u> Find the last angle of the triangle. ( which is angle A)

A+90+45=180

<u>STEP 1b:</u> Solve the equation for A by adding 90 and 45.

A+135=180

<u>STEP 1c:</u> Then Move all terms not containing A to the right side of the equation by subtracting 135 from both sides of the equation

A=180-135

<u>STEP 1d:</u> Subtract 135 from 180.

A=45

STEP 2a: Find side b next.

STEP 2b: The cosine of an angle is equal to the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse.

cos(A)=\frac{adj}{hyp}

STEP 2c: Substitute the name of each side into the definition of the cosine function.

cos(A)=\frac{b}{c}

STEP 2d: Set up the equation to solve for the adjacent side, in this case b.

b=c*cos(A)

STEP 2e: Substitute the values of each variable into the formula for cosine.

b=8*cos(45)

STEP 2f: Cancel the common factor of 2.

a=4\sqrt{2}

How do you calculate it? You start by expressing the density in the units you have. Then you multiply by appropriate conversion factors to get to the units you want. Treat units as though they were any other variable. A value cancels that appears in both the numerator and denominator of a fraction.

\dfrac{56.15\,kg}{0.222\,hh}\cdot \dfrac{1000\,g}{1\,kg}\cdot \dfrac{1\,pw}{1.55\,g}\cdot \dfrac{1\,hh}{238.5\,L}\cdot \dfrac{9.091\,L}{1\,pk}\\\\=\dfrac{56.15\cdot 1000\cdot 9.091\,pw}{0.222\cdot 1.55\cdot 238.5\,pk}\\\\ \approx6220\,\frac{pw}{pk}

At what point on the parabola y = 3x^2 + 2x is the tangent line parallel to the line<br> y = 10x −2?
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

( \frac{4}{3} , 8 )

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 10x - 2 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 10

Parallel lines have equal slopes

then the tangent to the parabola with a slope of 10 is required.

the slope of the tangent at any point on the parabola is \frac{dy}{dx}

differentiate each term using the power rule

\frac{d}{dx} (ax^{n} ) = nax^{n-1} , then

\frac{dy}{dx} = 6x + 2

equating this to 10 gives

6x + 2 = 10 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

6x = 8 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = \frac{8}{6} = \frac{4}{3}

substitute this value into the equation of the parabola for corresponding y- coordinate.

y = 3(\frac{4}{3} )² + 2

   = (3 × \frac{16}{9} ) + 2

   = \frac{16}{3} + \frac{8}{3}

   = \frac{24}{3}

   = 8

the point on the parabola with tangent parallel to y = 10x - 2 is ( \frac{4}{3} , 8 )

EXREAMLY URGENT!! WILL FOREVER THANK YOU!!!! PLS JUST TAKE A LOOK!!!!! 6. What is the area of rectangle RSTU?
Arisa [49]

Answer:

8√21

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle has 2 congruent pairs. Those 2 pairs are ST/RU and SR/UT. If that is the case, then that means UV is 5 and SV is also 5. Now we have triangle SRU with a hypotenuse of 10 and a side of 4. Pythagorean Theorem:

4² + b² = 10²

b² = 84

b = 2√21

Segment SR is then equal to b. Now we move on to the area formula:

(2√21)(4) = 8√21

And that is your final answer.
