Answer:

"The sum of two rational numbers is rational."  

By definition, a rational number can be expressed as a fraction with integer values in the numerator and denominator (denominator not zero). So, adding two rationals is the same as adding two such fractions, which will result in another fraction of this same form since integers are closed under addition and multiplication. Thus, adding two rational numbers produces another rational number.

\bf (2x+3)^5\implies 
\begin{array}{llll}
term&coefficient&value\\
-----&-----&-----\\
1&&(2x)^5(+3)^0\\
2&+5&(2x)^4(+3)^1\\
3&+10&(2x)^3(+3)^2\\
4&+10&(2x)^2(+3)^3\\
5&+5&(2x)^1(+3)^4\\
6&+1&(2x)^0(+3)^5
\end{array}

as you can see, the terms exponents, for the first term, starts at highest, 5 in this case, then every element it goes down by 1, till it gets to 0

for the second term, starts at 0, and every element it goes up by 1, till it gets to the highest

now, to get the coefficient, they way I get it, is "the product of the current coefficient and the exponent of the first term, divided by the exponent of the second term plus 1"

notice the first coefficient is always 1

so...how did we get 10 for the 3rd element?  well, 5*4/2
how did we get 10 for the fourth element?  well, 10*2/4


\bf (2x-3y)^4\implies 
\begin{array}{llll}

-----&-----&-----\\
1&&(2x)^4(-3y)^0\\
2&+4&(2x)^3(-3y)^1\\
3&+6&(2x)^2(-3y)^2\\
4&+4&(2x)^1(-3y)^3\\
5&+1&(2x)^0(-3y)^4
\end{array}


\bf (3a+4b)^8\implies 
\begin{array}{llll}
term&coefficient&value\\
-----&-----&-----\\
1&&(3a)^8(+4b)^0\\
2&+8&(3a)^7(+4b)^1\\
3&+28&(3a)^6(+4b)^2\\
4&+56&(3a)^5(+4b)^3\\
5&+70&(3a)^4(+4b)^4\\
6&+56&(3a)^3(+4b)^5\\
7&+28&(3a)^2(+4b)^6\\
8&+8&(3a)^1(+4b)^7\\
9&+1&(3a)^0(+4b)^8
\end{array}

and from there, you can simplify the elements of the expansion by combining the coefficients

like for example, the 7th element of (3a+4b)⁸ will then be 1032192a²b⁶

Please help me on this problem

Answer:

The pairs of integer having two real solution forax^{2} -6x+c = 0 are

  1. a = -4, c = 5
  2. a = 1, c = 6
  3. a = 2, c = 3
  4. a = 3, c = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

ax^{2} -6x+c = 0

Now we will solve the equation by putting all the 6 pairs so we get the  following

-3x^{2} -6x-5 = 0 for a = -3 , c=-5

-4x^{2} -6x+5 = 0 for a = -4 , c=5

1x^{2} -6x+6 = 0 for a = 1 , c=6

2x^{2} -6x+3 = 0 for a = 2 , c=3

3x^{2} -6x+3 = 0 for a = 3 , c=3

5x^{2} -6x+4 = 0 for a = 5 , c=4

The above  all are Quadratic equations inn general form ax^{2} +bx+c=0

where we have a,b and c constant values

So for a real Solution we must have

Disciminant , b^{2} -4\timesa\timesc \geq 0

for a = -3 , c=-5 we have

Discriminant =-24 which is less than 0 ∴ not a real solution.

for a = -4 , c=5 we have

Discriminant = 116 which is greater than 0 ∴ a real solution.

for a = 1 , c=6 we have

Discriminant =12 which is greater than 0 ∴ a real solution.

for a = 2 , c=3 we have

Discriminant =12 which is greater than 0 ∴ a real solution.

for a = 3 , c=3 we have

Discriminant =0 which is equal to 0 ∴ a real solution.

for a = 5 , c=4 we have

Discriminant =-44 which is less than 0 ∴ not a real solution.
