You are given the logarithmic function $f(x)=\log_bx.$ Note that this function is defined when:

$b>0,\ b\neq 1;$
$x>0.$

This function is increasing, when $b>1$ and decreasing when $0$ (see attached graphs for details).

Answer: $0$

The football team has a total of 20 jerseys. There are 4 medium-sized jerseys. What percent of the jerseys are medium-sized jers

DanielleElmas [232]

20%

Because Suppose x% of 20 is 4

That is
x100×20=4
or
x5=4

—> =4×5=20

So 20% of 20 is 4

Can anyone help me!! You don’t have to answer all just one would be fine!

Answer:

3. SinD= 12/15; Sin E= 9/15

4. sinD= 35/37; sinE= 12/37

5. sinD= 28/53; sinE= 45/53

6. Because the numerator should be 12 since that is the side opposite to the angle A.

Using the pattern, give the coefficients of (x + y)^5 and (x + y)^6

musickatia [10]

Answer:

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

$(x+y)^6=x^6+6x^5y+15x^4y^2+20x^3y^3+15x^2y^4+6xy^5+y^6$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the values of $(x+y)^5$ and $(x+y)^6$ , you need to apply the binomial theorem (high-level math you most likely don't need to worry about, it's easier than multiplying all the binomials together).

$(x+y)^5$ = $\sum _{i=0}^5\binom{5}{i}x^{\left(5-i\right)}y^i$ = $\frac{5!}{0!\left(5-0\right)!}x^5y^0+\frac{5!}{1!\left(5-1\right)!}x^4y^1+\frac{5!}{2!\left(5-2\right)!}x^3y^2+\frac{5!}{3!\left(5-3\right)!}x^2y^3+\frac{5!}{4!\left(5-4\right)!}x^1y^4+\frac{5!}{5!\left(5-5\right)!}x^0y^5$ = $x^5+5x^4y+10x^3y^2+10x^2y^3+5xy^4+y^5$ .

$(x+y)^6$ = $\sum _{i=0}^6\binom{6}{i}x^{\left(6-i\right)}y^i$ = $\frac{6!}{0!\left(6-0\right)!}x^6y^0+\frac{6!}{1!\left(6-1\right)!}x^5y^1+\frac{6!}{2!\left(6-2\right)!}x^4y^2+\frac{6!}{3!\left(6-3\right)!}x^3y^3+\frac{6!}{4!\left(6-4\right)!}x^2y^4+\frac{6!}{5!\left(6-5\right)!}x^1y^5+\frac{6!}{6!\left(6-6\right)!}x^0y^6$ = $x^6+6x^5y+15x^4y^2+20x^3y^3+15x^2y^4+6xy^5+y^6$ .
