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 />

Nina is 10 years younger than deepak. Deepak is 3 times as old as Nina. Which system of equations can be used to find d,deepaks
Vesna [10]

Answer:

We can use linear system of equation with one variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,Nina is 10 years younger than Deepak.

Deepak is 3 times as old as Nina.

<u>To solve this using linear equation</u>

Let d be the age of Deepak and n be the age of NIna

we can write,

n = (d - 10)   ---(1)

d = 3n    

d = 3(d - 10)  --------(2)

d = 3d - 30

3d - d = 30

2d = 30

d = 30/2 = 15

n - d - 10 = 15 - 10 = 5

Therefore the age of Deepak = 15 and age of Nina = 5

The value of y varies jointly with x and z. If y = 7 when z = 196 and x = 2, find the value of y when x = 3 and z = 336. I will
eimsori [14]

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

y∞ xz

y=kxz. Where k is constant

When z=196 and x= 2 then y= 7

7=(196)(2)k

7=392k

k=1/56

There fore y=(1/56)xz

When x=3 and z =336

y=(1/56)xz

y=(1/56)(336)(3)

y=18

Two figures are similar, and the scale factor is 2/3
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

The answer is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor between the figures is 2/3, this means that the ratio of the smaller figure to the larger figure is 2/3:

\frac{smaller\:figure}{larger\:figure}=\frac{2}{3}.

So when a side of the the larger figure is 12 then:

\frac{smaller\:figure\: side}{12}=\frac{2}{3}

Therefore

smaller\:figure\:side=\frac{2}{3}*12=8.

Thus the length of the corresponding smaller side is 8.
