Answer:

Binomial expansion also known as binomial theorem is a quick and easy way of expanding by multiplying binomial expression that has been raised to large power.

Step-by-step explanation:

A binomial is a polynomial with two terms. From the above definition given, if for instance an expression of (5x-4)²² was given, it wouldn't be that easy to multiply out by hand which is why the binomial theorem formula was created.

Another example to buttress this point is if we have (a³+2ab+b2)(a+b) expanding this will give a³+3a2b+b³ = a³+3a2b) +3ab²+b³)a+b = a⁴+ 4a³b+ 6a²b²+4ab³+b4..

This calculation could go on and on because it gets longer as we go but to make it easier and simpler, the best method to use here is the binomial theorem or expansion and the formula states thus:

n. n

(x+y)ⁿ = € {n}xⁿ-k*y^k

k=0 {k} = € {n} x^k*y^n-k

k=0 {k}

{n}

{k}. = binomial coefficient of each term

It should from the example given that we have index power(power raised)called exponent such that when an exponent is 0, we get 1 , i.e anything raised to power 0 =1

e.g (x+y)^0 = 1

And also when an exponent is 1, then the answer remain unchanged such that (x+y)¹= x+y. An exponent of 2 means to multiply given term by itself in two times and so on.

So to expantiate an expression like

a³+3a²b+3ab²+b³.. This expression has its index power(exponent) start with 3 such that .

The a goes down in the form.. 3,2,1,0 while the exponents of b go upwards in the form 0,1,2,3coeffiThe terms 0-n goes thus

k=0 k=1 k=2 k=3

a³ a² a 1

1 b. b² b³

which equals an-kbk.. This is confusing right. This is how it works

k=0 k=1 k=2 k= 3

an-kb^k. an-kb^k an-kb^k an-k^bk

a³-0b^0. a3-1b¹ a3-2b2 a3-3b3

a³ a²b. ab² b³

So when we put all this together we have: a³+a²b+ ab²+ b³. Actually this answer is correct but what we are missing here is the coefficient of n because we needs to include it.

So this becomes a³+3a²b +3ab²+b³ , the coefficient of n here is 3.

Now if we are to look at the result we got before from(a+b)^0 up to (a+b)³

And here that we have 3 as coefficient but where it is not shown we put 1 which is.

1

1a+ 1b

1a+2ab+ 1b²

1a³ +3a²b+3ab²+1b³... We solve this using pascal triangle.

1 This is solved by adding

1 1 each two numbers above

1 2 1 together to get the one

1 3 3 1 below.

1 4 6 4 1

This pascal pattern can be used for any exponents..1,2,3,5....60...120....n

Binomial theorem is basically the essence of this Pascal triangle pattern.

As stated earlier that the formula of binomial theorem is

n

€{n}a^n-kb^k

n-1 where €= summation

n= numbers given

k=coefficient of n

Now, let's to put into practical by solving this expression.

(x+y)ⁿ=€ⁿ {n}a^n-k* b^k

k=0 {k}

But before we solve this, its important we know the basis of Pascal triangle by using factorial to solve it with the formula n!/k!(n-k)! Such that

Factorial is n multiplied in descending order(i.e multiplying Numbers between 1-n)

K- coefficient of n

N- product of all the numbers between 1&n. For instance we are given this 4!/3!(4-3)! = 4!/3!*1!

= 4*3*2*1/3*2*1 *1 = 24/6 = 4

Now let's go back to the previous example of (x+y)ⁿ where n=4

(x+y)⁴= €⁴ {4} x^4-k*y^k

k=0 {k}

(x+y)⁴= €{4} (x^4-0)y^0 + {4} (x^4-1) *y¹

{0} {1}

+{4} (x^4-2)*y² + {4} (x^4-3)*y³

{2} {3}

+ {4} (x^4-4) * (y⁴)

{4}

= 1*x⁴y^0 + 4*x³y¹ + 6*x²y² +4*x¹y³ +1*x^0y⁴=

x⁴+4x³y +6x²y² + 4xy³ +y⁴(Final answer)

Please note that:

When solving binomial theorem expression, the easiest way to do this is by remembering the patterns below:

* first term's exponent start at n and go down

* second term's exponent start at 0 and goes up

* coefficient are solved with pascal triangle using n!/k!(n-k)!

Easy Question, Easy Points Topic: Volume Focus on question 12

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

The air is .6m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cube is

V = s^3 where s is the side length

The volume of the tank is

V = 1^3 = 1 m^3

The volume of the water is 1 by 1 by .4

V = l*w*h

= 1 *1*.4

= .4 m^3

The difference must be filled by air

1- .4 = .6 m^3

The air is .6m^3

Answer:

QUESTION 2:

The area of the polygon is 21.5 units²

QUESTION 3:

The area of the combined figure is 12 + 18.25·π units²

QUESTION 4:

The area of the figure is 40 units²

QUESTION 5

The area of the compost shape is 40 in.²

Step-by-step explanation:

QUESTION 2.

The area of the polygon is given as follows;

The area of two triangles + The area of trapezoid

1/2×6×3 + 1/2×3×4 + 1/2×(6 + 7) = 21.5 units²

QUESTION 3

The diameter of the semicircle, 'd', is given as follows;

d = √(8² + 3²) = √73

The area of the semicircle = π·d²/4 = π·73/4 = 18.25·π unit²

The area of the right triangle beside the semicircle is given as follows;

1/2 × 8 × 3 = 12 unit²

The area of the combined figure = The area of the semicircle + The area of the right triangle

∴ The area of the combined figure = 12 + 18.25·π units²

QUESTION 4:

The dimensions of the parallelogram are;

Width, W = √(4² + 1²) = √(17)

Length, L = √(8² + 2²) = √(68)

The area of the parallelogram, $A_R$ = W × L = √(17) × √(68) = √(17 × 68) = 34

The area of the parallelogram, $A_R$ = 34 units²

The length of a parallel side, 'A', of the parallelogram is A = 6

The height of the parallelogram, is h = 1

The area of the parallelogram is A = B·h = 6 × 1 = 6 units²

The area of the figure is the sum of the area of the rectangle and the area of the parallelogram

Therefore, we have;

The area of the figure = 34 units² + 6 units² = 40 units²

QUESTION 5

The composite shape consists of a triangle and a rectangle

Therefore, we have;

The area of the rectangle = 5 in. × 7 in. = 35 in.²

The area of the triangle = 1/2 × 2 in. × 5 in. = 5 in.²

The area of the compost shape = The area of the rectangle + The area of the triangle

∴ The area of the compost shape = 35 in.² + 5 in.² = 40 in.²

The area of the compost shape = 40 in.².
