Explain how Pascal’s triangle allows you to compute the coefficient of x2y3 when (x − y)5 is

Mathematics
1 answer:
nirvana33 [79]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

-10

Step-by-step explanation:

Pascal’s triangle: It represents the binomial coefficients. If a binomial expression is (a+b)^n, then (n+1)th row of Pascal’s triangle represents the binomial coefficients or that binomial expression.

The given binomial expression is

(x-y)^5

The elements of 6th row are 1, 5, 10, 10, 5 and 1.

(x-y)^5=1(x)^5+5(x)^4(-y)^1+10(x)^3(-y)^2+10(x)^2(-y)^3+5(x)^1(-y)^4+1(-y)^5

(x-y)^5=x^5 - 5 x^4 y + 10 x^3 y^2 - 10 x^2 y^3 + 5 x y^4 - y^5

Therefore, the coefficient of x²y³ is -10.

maks197457 [2]

Answer: 5 toy cars

Step-by-step explanation: Hi there.

First, add the number of cars that he had, the number of cars he bought, and the number of cars he received for his birthday: 13+22+21=56

Then subtract your answer (56) from the number of toy cars he gave away to Wayne and his sister: 56-46-5=5

Therefore, Darrel has 5 toy cars left.

Have a nice day! :)

One fifth of a number plus five times that number is equal to seven times the number less 18. find the number.
Schach [20]
OK.  First we have to figure out names for all the numbers you mentioned.

The mysterious number . . . . . call it Q
One fifth of the number . . . . . 0.2 Q
Five times the number . . . . . . 5 Q
Seven times the number . . . . 7 Q

(One fifth plus five times the number) . . . 5.2 Q
(Seven times the number less 18) . . . . . . 7 Q - 18

You said that these last two things are equal, 

so I can write . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  7 Q - 18  =  5.2 Q

Now, subtract  7Q  from each side . . .  -18 = -1.8 Q

Divide each side by  -1.8 . . . . . . . . . .  10 = Q

Examine the figures. What is the ratio of squares to triangles?
Orlov [11]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

First, count how many squares there are: 8 squares.

Now, count how many triangles there are: 6 triangles.

Ratio is simply the number of one thing divided by the number of the other. Here, since we want the ratio of squares to triangles, we have:

8 squares / 6 squares

We can simplify this to:

8 / 6 = 4 / 3

And finally, this can be written in the "ratio notation":

4 / 3 = 4 : 3

The answer is B.

What is the surface area of the figure?
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

90 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Times the length by the width of one side: 6 x 3= 18

Times 18 by 4 to get the surface area of the 4 rectangular sides: 18 x 4= 72

Times 3 by 3 to get the bottoms surface area: 9

Times 9 by 2 to get both the top and bottoms surface area: 18

Add 72+18 to get the total surface area: 90 ft
