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.

Find a third-degree polynomial function with real coefficients and with zeros at -4 and -3 5i
Charra [1.4K]

If -3+5i is a solution, then by the conjugate root theorem, -3-5i is also a solution. We find the polynomial by multiplying together the factors. If x = -4, then x + 4 is the factor. If x = -3+5i, then (x-(-3+5i)) is a factor, and so is (x-(-3-5i)). Simplifying those down gives us as the first factor as (x+3-5i) and the second as (x+3+5i). We can FOIL those 2 together to get their product, and then FOIL in x+4. FOILing the 2 complex factors together gives us x^2+3x+15ix+3x+9+15i-15ix-15i-25i^2. If we combine like terms and cross out things that cancel it's much easier than what it looks like there! It simplifies down to x^2+6x-25i^2. Since i^2 = -1, it simplifies further to x^2+6x-25(-1) and finally, to x^2+6x+25. Now we will FOIL in x+4. (x^2+6x+25)(x+4)=x^3+6x^2+25x+4x^2+24x+100. Our final simplified third degree polynomial is x^3+10x^2+49x+100

Red roses come 3 to a package, and white roses come 5 to a package. If an equal number of red and white roses are wanted to make
Katen [24]

Answer:

B :- 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A package of red rose contains = 3 pieces

A package of white rose contains = 5 pieces

If an equal number of red and white roses are wanted to make bouquets, what is the minimum number of each that can be purchased ?

Solution:

As here given that there are two types of package of roses, red roses come 3 pieces to each packet and white roses come 5 pieces to each packet and we have to find equal minimum number of  red roses as well as white roses to be purchased, we will simply find the Lowest common multiple of 3 and 5.

Multiples of 3 :- 3, 6, 9,12, 15, 18, 21, 24

Multiples of 5 :- 5, 10, 15, 20, 25

<em>Lowest common multiple is 15, that means </em><em>15 is the minimum number of pieces of each that can be purchased to make bouquets.</em>

And number of packets of red rose have to purchase = 3 \times <em><u>5</u></em> = 15, 5 packages.

And number of packets of white rose have to purchase = 5 \times <em><u>3</u></em> = 15 , 3 packages.
