96t^2 is the distance represents in feet that the object falls in 6 seconds
Use Pascal's Triangle
1
1 1
1 2 1
1 3 3 1
1 4 6 4 1
1 5 10 10 5 1
1 6 15 20 15 6 1
1 7 21 35 35 21 7 1
1 8 28 56 70 56 28 8 1
1 9 36 84 126 126 84 36 9 1 (this is the row you use)
So, the seventh term of (3x + 2y)^9 will be 84xy
When trying to determine the distance between two points, one would use the distance formula.
The distance formula is attached above and all you need to do is plug in the points in order to get the distance.
For example, if you were to plug them in, you would get:
√(0+4)^2 + (0+2)^2
