Answer:

As per the statement: A radio station had 205 tickets to a concert. They gave away 4 times as many tickets to listeners as to employees.

⇒Let number of tickets Employees have x and Number of ticket Listeners have 4x

It is also, given that a radio station had 205 ticket to a concert.

⇒ $\text{Number of ticket Employees have} +\text{Number of ticket Listeners have} = 205$

Then, substitute the given values we have;

$4x + x = 205$

Combine like terms, we have;

$5x = 205$

Divide both sides by 5 we have;

x = 41

Therefore, number of tickets did they give away to employees have 41 tickets

For the given term, find the binomial raised to the power, whose expansion it came from: 15(5)^2 (-1/2 x) ^4

Elina [12.6K]

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 />
