Answer:

The fourth term of the expansion is -220 * x^9 * y^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Question:

Find the fourth term in (x-y)^12

Solution:

Notation: "n choose k", or combination of k objects from n objects,

C(n,k) = n! / ( k! (n-k)! )

For example, C(12,4) = 12! / (4! 8!) = 495

Using the binomial expansion formula

(a+b)^n

= C(n,0)a^n + C(n,1)a^(n-1)b + C(n,2)a^(n-2)b^2 + C(n,3)a^(n-3)b^3 + C(n,4)a^(n-4)b^4 +....+C(n,n)b^n

For (x-y)^12, n=12, k=3, a=x, b=-y, and the fourth term is

C(n,3)a^(n-3)b^3

=C(12,3) * x^(12-3) * (-y)^(3)

= 220*x^9*(-y)^3

= -220 * x^9 * y^3

In a certain​ country, the true probability of a baby being a girl is 0.469. Among the next seven randomly selected births in th
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The probability is 0.995 ( approx ).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X represents the event of baby girl,

The probability of a baby being a girl is, p = 0.469,

So, the probability of a baby who is not a girl is, q = 1 - 0.469 = 0.531,

Also, the total number of experiment, n = 7

Thus, by the binomial distribution formula,

P(x)=^nC_x(p)^x q^{n-x}

Where, ^nC_x=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

The probability that all babies are girl or there is no baby boy,

P(X=7)=^7C_7(0.469)^7(0.531)^{7-7}

=0.00499125661758

Hence, the probability that at least one of them is a boy​ = 1 - P(X=7)

= 1 - 0.00499125661758

= 0.995008743382

≈ 0.995

Write a rule for each pattern. Then use your rule to find the next two terms in the pattern. The numbers are: 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 2

Triangular Number Sequence

This is the Triangular Number Sequence:

<span>1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, ...</span>

This sequence comes from a pattern of dots that form a triangle:

By adding another row of dots and counting all the dots we can 
find the next number of the sequence.

A Rule

We can make a "Rule" so we can calculate any triangular number.

First, rearrange the dots (and give each pattern a number n), like this:

Then double the number of dots, and form them into a rectangle:

<span><span>The rectangles are n high and n+1 wide</span><span>and <span>xn</span> is how many dots in the triangle (the value of the Triangular Number n)</span></span>

And we get (remembering we doubled the dots):

<span>2xn = n(n+1)</span><span>xn = n(n+1)/2</span>

<span>Rule: xn = n(n+1)/2</span>

Example: the 5th Triangular Number is

x5 = 5(5+1)/2 = 15

Example: the 60th is

x60 = 60(60+1)/2 = 1830

Wasn't it much easier to use the formula than to add up all those dots?
