(1+x^2)^8
=(1+8x^2+8*7/(1*2)x^4+8*7*6/(1*2*3)x^6+8*7*6*5/(1*2*3*4)x^8+....)
=1+8x^2+28x^4+56x^6+70x^8+....)
For x<1, higher power terms diminish in value, hence we can approximate powers of numbers.
1.01=(1+0.1^2) => x=0.1 in the above expansion
(1.01)^8
=1+8(0.1^2)+28(0.1^4)+56(0.1^6) [ limited to four terms, as requested]
=1+0.08+0.0028+0.000056 (+0.00000070)
=1.082856 (approximately)
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
One way to tell is to put both equations into slope-intercept form. That form is usually written
where <em>m</em> is the slope and <em>b</em> is the y-intercept.
Solve the first equation for y.

The slope of this line is -3, and its y-intercept is 5/2.
Solve the second equation for y.

The slope of this line is -3 and its y-intercept is 2.
The lines are parallel because they have the same slope and <u>different</u> y-intercepts. There is no solution to the system.
Answer:
The final price is $66.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question can be solved by a rule of three.
The initial price was of $120.
Initially, there was a discount of 15%. Then, there is another discount on the initial price. So the total discount is of 15+30 = 45%.
So the final price will be 100-45 = 55% = 0.55 of the initial price.
So
$120 - 1
x - 0.55

The final price is $66.
