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.

A, B, C and D are four towns.
djverab [1.8K]

Three of the four towns are on the vertices of the triangle ΔCBD, through

which the bearing can calculated.

<h3>Response:</h3>
  • The bearing of D from B is approximately <u>209.05°</u>

<h3>Method by which the bearing is found;</h3>

From the given information, we have;

AC = AB = 25 km

∠BAC = 90° (definition of angle between north and east)

ΔABC = An isosceles right triangle (definition)

∠ACD = ∠ABC = 45° (base angles of an isosceles right triangle)

tan(\angle ABD) = \dfrac{45}{25}

  • \angle ABD = arctan \left(\dfrac{45}{25} \right)  \approx 60.945^{\circ}

The bearing of <em>D</em> from <em>B</em> is the angle measured from the north of <em>B</em> to the

direction of <em>D.</em>

<em />

Therefore;

  • The bearing of D from B ≈ 90° + (180° - 60.945°) = <u>209.05°</u>

A recursive rule for the arithmetic sequence is a1=-3;an=an-1+7
Shkiper50 [21]
The explicit rule for any arithmetic sequence is:

a(n)=a+d(n-1), a=initial term, d=common difference, n=term number

In this case a=-3 and d=7 so:

a(n)=-3+7(n-1)

a(n)=-3+7n-7

a(n)=7n-10
