Answer:
70 different meals
Step-by-step explanation:
A menu offers a choice of 2 salads, 7 main dishes, and 5 desserts
There are 3 types of choices are given
each one have different choices. we need to select one salad, one main dish and one dessert
To find the number of different meals we multiply the different choices
so 70 different meals
see explanation
Expand both factors and collect like term
Using Pascal' triangle with n = 6 to obtain the coefficients
1 6 15 20 15 6 1
Decreasing powers of 1 from to
Increasing powers of 3x from to
= 1. + 6. + 15. + 20. + 15.1² + 6. + 1.
= 1 + 18x + 135x² + 540x³ + 1215 + 1458 + 729
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
= 1 - 18x + 135x² - 540x³ + 1215 - 1458 + 729
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Collecting like terms from both expressions
+
= 2 + 270x² + 2430 + 1458
----------------------------------------------------
(2)
Using Pascal's triangle with n = 5
1 5 10 10 5 1
Increasing powers of 2x from to
= 1. + 5. + 10. + 10. + 5.+ 1.
= 1 + 10x + 40x² + 80x³ + 80 + 32
The answer is ( 1 , -2) in point form or x = 1 , y = -2 in eqaution form.
Solve for the first variable in one of the equations, then substitute the result into the other equation.
