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

Two skiers are 30 kilometers apart and head towards each other. They meet in 2 hours. If the second skier is 5 kilometers per ho

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Speed of first skier = 5 km/h

Speed of second skier = 10 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance between skiers = 30 km

Time after which they meet = 2 hours

Second skier is 5 km/h faster than the first skier.

To find speed of each skier.

Solution:

Let the speed of first skier be in km/h = $x$

<em>Distance covered in km 2 hours will be = $Speed\times time=x\times 2=2x\ km$ </em>

Speed of second skier in km/h can be given as = $x+5$

<em>Distance traveled by second skier after 2 hours will be = $Speed\times time=(x+5)\times 2=(2x+10)\ km$ [Using distribution]</em>

Since, the skiers were 30 km apart initially, so the total distance covered by both of them when they meet after 2 hours will be = 30 km

Thus, we have:

$2x+2x+10=30$

Solving for $x$

$4x+10=30$

Subtracting both sides by 10.

$4x+10-10=30-10$

$4x=20$

Dividing both sides by 4.

$\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{20}{4}$

$x=5$

Speed of first skier = 5 km/h

Speed of second skier = $5+5$ = 10 km/h

Can someone help me with 4-6 plz

Step-by-step explanation:

4. To use SSS, you need three pairs of congruent sides. You're given two pairs of congruent sides, so the additional information needed is WY ≅ KM.

5. To use ASA, you need a pair of congruent sides between two pairs of congruent angles. You're given one pair of congruent angles, and since the triangles share a common side, we know BC ≅ BC. So the additional information needed is ∠WBC ≅ ∠ACB.

6. To use SAS, you need a pair of congruent angles between two pairs of congruent sides. You're given two pairs of congruent sides, so the additional information needed is ∠I ≅ ∠F.

(5 pts) A quadratic function f is given by f(x) = ax2 + bx + c where a is not 0. Select all

Vsevolod [243]

Answers:

a) True. Plug in x = 0 and it leads to y = c. Therefore, the point (0,c) is on the parabola.
b) False. Plug in y = 0 and apply the quadratic formula. One x intercept may sometimes be x = c, but it could easily be other values as well. Or perhaps you may not get any real number solutions at all. See part d) below.
c) True. If a < 0, then the leading coefficient is negative. Overall, both endpoints will tend toward negative infinity to produce a parabola that opens downward.
d) False. The quadratic may have one x intercept or it may not have any x intercepts at all. It depends on what the discriminant d = b^2 - 4ac is equal to. If d < 0, then we have no x intercepts. If d = 0, then we have exactly 1 x intercept. If d > 0, then we have two different x intercepts.
e) True. The vertex's x coordinate is -b/(2a). If b = 0, then the x coordinate of the vertex is 0. The vertical line x = 0 is directly on top of the y axis.
