Explain how you can use the terms from the binomial expansion to approximate 0.985.

There are 5 + 1 = 6 terms in the binomial expansion of (1−0.02)5, and since the 4th term is approximately 0, the 5th and 6th terms are also approximately 0. So, approximate the value of 0.985 by adding the first three terms: 1 + (-0.1) + 0.004 = 0.904.

The vertices of a triangle are (-1,3) (6,3) and (-1,-4)
Travka [436]

Answer:

24.5 unit²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of ∆

= ½ | x₁(y₂ - y₃) + x₂(y₃ - y₁) + x₃(y₁ - y₂) |

= ½ | (-1)(3 -(-4)) + 6(-4 -3) + (-1)(3 - 3) |

= ½ | -7 - 42 |

= ½ | - 49 |

= ½ (49)

= 24.5 unit²

<u>Method 2:</u>

Let the vertices are A, B and C. Using distance formula:

AB = √(-1-6)² + (3-3)² = 7

BC = √(-6-1)² + (-4-3)² = 7√2

AC = √(-1-(-1))² + (4-(-3))² = 7

Semi-perimeter = (7+7+7√2)/2

= (14+7√2)/2

Using herons formula:

Area = √s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)

here,

s = semi-perimeter = (14 + 7√2)/2

s - a = S - AB = (14+7√2)/2 - 7 = (7 + √2)/2

s - b = (14+7√2)/2 - 7√2 = (14 - 7√2)/2

s - c = (14+7√2)/2 - 7 = (7 + √2)/2

Hence, on solving for area using herons formula, area = 49/2 = 24.5 unit²

For each of the solutions of the equations find two consecutive integers between which the solution is located.
adoni [48]

Using squares of integers numbers, it is found that the solution of the equation is located between the integers x = 1 and x = 2.

The equation given is:

x^2 = 3

The solution of the equation given is:

x = \sqrt{3}

The squares of the integers numbers until the square root of 3 are:

1^2 = 1

2^2 = 4

Since 1 < 3 < 4, the square root of 3, which is the solution to the equation, is located between the integers x = 1 and x = 2.

PLEASE HELP WITH MATH QUESTION!! EXPLANATION NEEDED TOO!
Dovator [93]

Answer:

Matt should have factored out the leading coefficient 2 on the second step before completing the square

Step-by-step explanation:

To complete the square, you must first factor the leading coefficient from the first two terms.

y = 2x² − 10x − 4

y = 2 (x² − 5x) − 4

y = 2 (x² − 5x + 25/4 − 25/4) − 4

y = 2 (x² − 5x + 25/4) − 25/2 − 4

y = 2 (x − 5/2)² − 33/4
