Binomial Theorem:

(x+y)^n\quad=\quad\sum\limits_k^n\left(\begin{array}{cc}n\\k\end{array}\right) x^{n-k} y^k


Where the coefficient is defined to be:

\left(\begin{array}{cc}n\\k\end{array}\right)\quad=\quad \dfrac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}


Notice that the exponent on y is 8 for the term they gave us.

This is the term which corresponds to k=8.

\left(\begin{array}{cc}13\\8\end{array}\right)x^{13-8}y^8


So our coefficient is:

\left(\begin{array}{cc}13\\8\end{array}\right)\quad=\quad\dfrac{13!}{8!(13-8)!}


If you expand the factorial in the numerator,

you can cancel some stuff out,

\dfrac{13\cdot12\cdot11\cdot10\cdot9\cdot8!}{8!\cdot5!}\quad=\quad \dfrac{13\cdot12\cdot11\cdot10\cdot9}{5!}


Further simplification should get you to this:

13\cdot11\cdot3\cdot3\quad=\quad1287

recall that the exponent for the first term will be starting at 13, and descending by one on every expanded term, in the binomial theorem.


so, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5 <---- x⁵ will then be in the 9th term


now, using the "combination" formula to get the coefficient of the 9th term.


k = 8 <--- the 9th term


n = 13 <--- highest exponent


\bf \textit{the coefficient and values of an expanded term} \\\\ (x+y)^{13} \qquad \qquad  \begin{array}{llll} expansion\\ for\\ 9^{th}~term \end{array} \quad  \begin{cases} \stackrel{term}{k}=0..n\\ \stackrel{exponent}{n}\\ -----\\ k=\stackrel{9~term}{8}\\ n=13 \end{cases}


\bf \stackrel{coefficient}{\left(\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}\right)} \qquad \stackrel{\stackrel{first~term}{factor}}{\left( a^{n-k} \right)} \qquad \stackrel{\stackrel{second~term}{factor}}{\left( b^k \right)} \\\\\\ \cfrac{13!}{8!(13-8)!}~~x^{13-8}~~(+y)^8\implies 1287~x^5y^8

Answer: 300.3858/ maybe 300.385

Step-by-step explanation: 4 2/7 as decimal= 4.29 x (-18) = -77.22 x -3.89=  300.3858 (3.89 = decimal form of -3 8/9)  300.3858 x 1 = 300.3858

In 1997, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the federal government lowered the standard for diagnosing diabetes from a
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

10 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

- Before 1997, people with a minimum FBGL of 140mg/dl were diagnosed as diabetic

- After 1997, people with a minimum FBGL of 126mg/dl were diagnosed as diabetic

- What is the proportion of people who were not considered diabetic before 1997 but are now considered diabetic (after 1997)?

140 - 126 = 14

In percentage, this proportion is = 14/140 × 100

= 10%

Hence, 10% of the people who were not considered diabetic before 1997 are now or will now be considered diabetic.

In a certain apartment building the ratio of tenants to cars is 3:5. if there are 30 tenants, how many cars are there?
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

I want to say 50 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

If i am correct, there are more cars than people overall:

tenants to cars

3:5

so when you have 30 tenants you can multiply the cars by ten because that is what you did on the other side.

PLEASE HELP!!! THIS IS MY LAST QUESTION!! ASAP!!
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

In order of what is shown on the pic:

- Trinomial

- Monomial

- Trinomial

- Binomial

- Polynomial with four terms

Step-by-step explanation:

Again, in the same order as above:

1. The first has three terms, making it a trinomial

2. 7x^2 - 7x^2 +4x

The 7x^2 cancels out and we are left with only 4x

Since there is one value, it is a monomial

3. This one has three terms, making it a trinomial

4. This one has two terms, making it a binomial

5. The last one has four terms, making it a polynomial with four terms.
