Find the coefficient of x^4 in the expansion of (1 + 2x + 3x^3)^10?

Mathematics

(1+2x+3x^3)^{10}

The only possible configurations of terms that contribute to generating the x^4 term in the expansion are given by the multinomial theorem to be

\left(\dbinom{10}{6,4,0}(1)^6(2x)^4(3x^3)^0+\dbinom{10}{8,1,1}(1)^8(2x)^1(3x^3)^1\right)x^4

where

\dbinom{10}{k_1,\ldots,k_m}=\dfrac{10!}{k_1!\cdots k_m!}

Simplifying a bit gives a coefficient of

\dbinom{10}{6,4,0}(2)^4+\dbinom{10}{8,1,1}(2)(3)
16\dbinom{10}{6,4,0}+6\dbinom{10}{8,1,1}
16\dfrac{10!}{6!4!0!}+6\dfrac{10!}{8!1!1!}
16(5\times3\times2\times7)+6(10\times9)=3900

A family of 17 are trying to get back to their island for Christmas when disaster strikes – their ship hits a rock and will sink
wlad13 [49]
Answer: 13

Althoug each round trip takes 9 minutes and can carry 5 people on the boat, you can not just divide the 20 minutes time by 9 and multiply by 5 to find the number of people that are saved without getting wet.

First trip:

5 people take the boat to the island but only 4 can stay, because one has to return with the boat to the ship to rescue other 4 people.

So, when 9 minutes have passed, 4 people are safe on the island and the boat is again by the ship.

Second trip:

In the second trip, other 4 people are rescued,along with "sailor" who returned in the boat to rescue them.

When it has passed 18 minutes, the boat is next to the ship agin to carry other 4 people before the boat sinks.

This is the last trip before the boat sinks. So, the total number of passengers rescued is 4 + 4 +  5 = 13

What is the value of   ?
azamat
Sure! So this is ready as "the cube root of 125". This basically means, "what number cubed can get me 125?"
Let's go through our options.
We can rule out D, as D cubed would be unreasonably big.
We can also rule out C, because 375 cubed is easily over 10000, you know this even if you haven't computed it all, just compute the 300 cubed.
We can rule out B, too. 41 squared is already over 125, therefore it can't be the answer.
Therefore our answer is A, 5. We can check that by cubing 5, and that indeed gets us 125.
Hope this helps!

A rectangle has length 4 inches and width 2 inches. If the length and width of the rectangle are each reduced by 50 percent, by
exis [7]

Answer: 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A rectangle has length 4 inches and width 2 inches.

Area = Length x width

= 4 inches x  2 inches

= 8 square inches

If length is reduced by 50% , then length =0.5\times4=2\text{ inches}

If width is reduced by 50% , then length =0.5\times2=1\text{ inch}

Reduced area = (reduced length) x (reduced width)

= 2 inches x 1 inch

= 2 square inches

The percentage of the area of the rectangle be reduced :-

\dfrac{\text{Reduced area}}{\text{Original area}}\times100 \\\\=\dfrac{2}{8}\times100\% \\\\=25\%

Hence, the percent of the area of the rectangle be reduced = 25%

Y = −1/3x + 2
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

The solution is (0, 2).

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have two different equations for y.  Equate them to eliminate y.  Solve the resulting equation for x:

y = −1/3x + 2 = y = x + 2

Simplifying, we get (-1/3)x = x, and so x must be 0.

Then, using the second equation, we find that y = 0 + 2 = 2.

The solution is (0, 2).
