For this case we have to:
x: Represents the unknown number
y: Represents the exponent of base 10
So, considering a system of equations we have:
From the first equation we have:
Substituting in the second equation:
We choose the positive value:
So, the number is 0.4.
So:
Thus, the exponent is 5.
Answer:
Yara use 0.4 and
Answer:
<em>C.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Required
Determine which binomial expansion it came from
The first step is to add the powers of he expression in brackets;
Each term of a binomial expansion are always of the form:
Where n = the sum above
Compare to the above general form of binomial expansion
Substitute 6 for n
[Next is to solve for a and b]
<em>From the above expression, the power of (5) is 2</em>
<em>Express 2 as 6 - 4</em>
By direct comparison of
and
We have;
Further comparison gives
[Solving for a]
By direct comparison of
[Solving for b]
By direct comparison of
Substitute values for a, b, n and r in
