Answer:  

32a^5+160a^4b+320a^3b^2+320a^2b^3+160ab^4+32b^5

============================================================

Explanation:

Let's use Pascal's Triangle

In the row that starts with 1,5,... we have the values 1,5,10,10,5,1

These will be the coefficients of the terms.

Let x = 2a and y = 2b

We want to expand out (x+y)^5

Using pascals triangle, we get the following expansion

(x+y)^5 = 1x^5y^0+5x^4y^1+10x^3y^2+10x^2y^3+5x^1y^4+1x^0y^5

The numbers in bold are the coefficients 1,5,10,10,5,1 found earlier.

Note how the exponents for x start at 5 and count down to 0; while the y exponents start at 0 and count up to 5. For any term, the x and y exponents always add to 5 for the expansion of (x+y)^5. In general, the exponents of any term will add to n for (x+y)^n.

At this point, we plug in x = 2a and y = 2b

Since this will clutter things a bit, I'll do it term by term

  • 1x^5y^0 = 1(2a)^5(2b)^0 = 1(32a^5)(1) = 32a^5
  • 5x^4y^1 = 5(2a)^4(2b)^1 = 5(16a^4)(2b) = 160a^4b
  • 10x^3y^2 = 10(2a)^3(2b)^2 = 10(8a^3)(4b^2) = 320a^3b^2
  • 10x^2y^3 = 10(2a)^2(2b)^3 = 10(4a^2)(8b^3) = 320a^2b^3
  • 5x^1y^4 = 5(2a)^1(2b)^4 = 5(2a)(16b^4) = 160ab^4
  • 1x^0y^5 = 1(2a)^0(2b)^5 = 1(1)(32b^5) = 32b^5

So in the end, the expression (2a+2b)^5 expands out to

32a^5+160a^4b+320a^3b^2+320a^2b^3+160ab^4+32b^5

The binomial theorem uses the same basic idea, but instead of using Pascal's Triangle to get the coefficients, you'll use the nCr combination formula.

Dvinal [7]
If 100 miles = 1 in.

650 = 6.5 x 100  and   6.5 x 1 = 6.5   

so, if the journey is 650 m...... the map is 6.5 in.

Answer:

f(x) = -(x-3)^2 + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

(h; k) are the coordinates of the vertex.

On the graph are (3, 4), therefore we have:

f(x) = a(x-3)^2 + 4

We have the x- intercept (1,0) -> x=1; y=0.

Substitute them into the equation:

0 = a(1 - 3)^2 + 4

0 = a(-2)^2 + 4

4a + 4 = 0 | -4

4a = -4   |-4

a = -1

So, we have the answer:

f(x) = -(x-3)^2 + 4
