Based on the given details, the assumption that must be made about the sun rays if using the method of determining the circumference of a large sphere is that, the rays it emits are of a certain angle from one another and these rays would travel in parallel. These rays are not touching, therefore, its angles are the same. Hope this answer helps.

Expand the following using the Binomial Theorem and Pascal’s triangle. (x + 2)6 (x − 4)4 (2x + 3)5 (2x − 3y)4 In the expansion o
ivolga24 [154]
\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}
term&coefficient&value\\
-----&-----&-----\\
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

The moon is a sphere with radius of 959 km. Determine an equation for the ellipse if the distance of the satellite from the surf
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

\frac{x^2}{1316^2}+\frac{y^2}{1669^2}=1

Step-by-step explanation:

An ellipse is the locus of a point such that its distances from two fixed points, called foci, have a sum that is equal to a positive constant.

The equation of an ellipse with a center at the origin and the x axis as the minor axis is given by:

\frac{x^2}{b^2}+\frac{y^2}{a^2} =1 \\\\where\ a>b

Since the distance of the satellite from the surface of the moon varies from 357 km to 710 km, hence:

b = 357 km + 959 km = 1316 km

a = 710 km + 959 km = 1669 km

Therefore the equation of the ellipse is:

\frac{x^2}{1316^2}+\frac{y^2}{1669^2}=1
