Write the standard form of the line that passes through the point (-2, 4) and is parallel to x - 2y = 6.

1 answer:

6 0

First calculate the function of x-2y=6:
x-2y=6 | - x
-2y=6-x | ÷ (-2)
y=0.5x-3

Now you have the function. Because the slope you search is parallel to this one, the slope is the same (in this case 0.5). A slope of 0.5 means for 2 steps to the right go one up. To define the function you are searching you have to find out the y intercept. For this take your point (-2|4). Now go as many steps to the right until you reach the y intercept or x=0 in this case you need 2 steps. So for 2 steps right you go one up. Now you have the y intercept (5).
The resulting function is: f(x) = 0.5+6.

What is the coefficient of x2y3 in the expansion of (2x + y)5?

Zigmanuir [339]

Option C:

The coefficient of $x^{2} y^{3}$ is 40.

Solution:

Given expression:

$(2 x+y)^{5}$

Using binomial theorem:

$(a+b)^{n}=\sum_{i=0}^{n}\left(\begin{array}{l}n \\i\end{array}\right) a^{(n-i)} b^{i}$

Here $a=2 x, b=y$

Substitute in the binomial formula, we get

$(2x+y)^5=\sum_{i=0}^{5}\left(\begin{array}{l}5 \\i\end{array}\right)(2 x)^{(5-i)} y^{i}$

Now to expand the summation, substitute i = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

$$=\frac{5 !}{0 !(5-0) !}(2 x)^{5} y^{0}+\frac{5 !}{1 !(5-1) !}(2 x)^{4} y^{1}+\frac{5 !}{2 !(5-2) !}(2 x)^{3} y^{2}+\frac{5 !}{3 !(5-3) !}(2 x)^{2} y^{3}$
