Choose any positive integer. Powers of two here are not very interesting, so choose something else. If the number you have chose

n is even, divide it by two. If it's odd, multiply it by three and add one. Now, with the result, repeat the same process. If the number is even divide it by two. If it's odd multiply it by three and add one. Keep repeating this process on the outcome. You will generate (*recursively*) a sequence of positive integers.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the integer be 6 for even and 7 for odd (say)

For 6, we divide by 2, now get 3.  Now we multiply by 3 and add 1 to get 10. Now since 10 is even divide by 5, now multiply by 3 and add 1 to get 16.  Now divide by 2 again by 2 again by 2 again by 2 till we get rid of even numbers.

The result is 1, so multiply by 3 and add 1 we get 4 now divide 2 times by 2 to get 1, thus this result now again repeats after 2 times.

Say if we select off number 3, multiply by 3 and add 1 to get 10 now divide by 5, now repeat the same process as above for 5 until we get 1 and it gets repeated every third time.

Thus whether odd or even after some processes, we get 1 and the process again and again returns to 1.

which polynomial correctly combines the like terms and expresses the given polynomial in standard form? 8mn5-2m6+5m2n4-m3n3+n6-4
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

The answer would be 7mn^5 - 2m^6 + 14m^2n^4 - 5m^3n^3 + n^6

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find that answer, start by grouping all of the terms by their variable values. Ones that are the same should be combined.

8mn^5 - mn^5 = 7mn^5

2m^6 - 4m^6 = -2m^6

5m^2n^4 + 9m^2n^4 = 14m^2n^4

-m^3n^3 - 4m^3n^3 = -5m^3n^3

n^6 = n^6

Now we simply combine them all to get

7mn^5 - 2m^6 + 14m^2n^4 - 5m^3n^3 + n^6

What is the coefficient of the third term in the binomial expansion of (a + b)6? 1 15 20 90
Sholpan [36]

Answer:  15

Step-by-step explanation:

(r+1)th term of (a+b)^n is given by:-

T_{r+1}=\ ^nC_r(a)^{n-r}b^r

For (a+b)^6 , n= 6

T_3=T_{2+1}=\ ^6C_2(a)^{6-2}(b)^2\\\\

=\ \dfrac{6!}{4!2!}a^4b^2\ \ \ [^nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}]\\\\=\dfrac{6\times5\times4!}{4!\times2}a^4b^2\\\\=3\times5a^4b^2\\\\ =15a^4b^2

Hence, the coefficient of the third term in the binomial expansion of  (a+b)^6 is 15.
