We have that

point C and point D have y = 0-----------> (the bottom of the trapezoid).

point A and point B have y = 4e ---------- > (the top of the trapezoid)

the y component of midpoint would be halfway between these lines
y = (4e+ 0)/2 = 2e.

<span>the x component of the midpoint of the midsegment would be halfway between the midpoint of AB and the midpoint of CD.

x component of midpoint of AB is (4d + 4f)/2.
x component of midpoint of CD is (4g + 0)/2 = 4g/2.
x component of a point between the two we just found is
[(4d + 4f)/2 + 4g/2]/2 = [(4d + 4f + 4g)/2]/2 = (4d + 4f + 4g)/4 = d + f + g.

</span>therefore

the midpoint of the midsegment is (d + f + g, 2e)

It would be 4/15 is greater.
4/15 = 26% wrong
3/10 = 30% wrong

In the expansion (ax+by)^7, the coefficients of the first two terms are 128 and -224, respectively. Find the values of a and b

madam [21]

Answer:

a = 2, b = 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Expanding $(ax+by)^7$ using Binomial expansion, we have that:

$(ax+by)^7$ =

$(ax)^7(by)^0 + (ax)^6(by)^1 + (ax)^5(by)^2 + (ax)^4(by)^3 + (ax)^3(by)^4 + (ax)^2(by)^5 + (ax)^1(by)^6 + (ax)^0(by)^7$

$= (a)^7(x)^7+ (a)^6(x)^6(b)(y) + (a)^5(x)^5(b)^2(y)^2 + (a)^4(x)^4(b)^3(y)^3 + (a)^3(x)^3(b)^4(y)^4 + (a)^2(x)^2(b)^5(y)^5 + (a)(x)(b)^6(y)^6 + (b)^7(y)^7\\\\\\= (a)^7(x)^7+ (a)^6(b)(x)^6(y) + (a)^5(b)^2(x)^5(y)^2 + (a)^4(b)^3(x)^4(y)^3 + (a)^3(b)^4(x)^3(y)^4 + (a)^2(b)^5(x)^2(y)^5 + (a)(b)^6(x)(y)^6 + (b)^7(y)^7$
