You use Pythagorus’ theorem to help you

so to find the answer you would do 10^2 - 6^2 and then square root your answer

hope this helps

Find the 2th term of the expansion of (a-b)^4.

vladimir1956 [14]

The second term of the expansion is $-4a^3b$ .

Solution:

Given expression:

$(a-b)^4$

To find the second term of the expansion.

$(a-b)^4$

Using Binomial theorem,

$(a+b)^{n}=\sum_{i=0}^{n}\left(\begin{array}{l}n \\i\end{array}\right) a^{(n-i)} b^{i}$

Here, a = a and b = –b

$$(a-b)^4=\sum_{i=0}^{4}\left(\begin{array}{l}4 \\i\end{array}\right) a^{(4-i)}(-b)^{i}$

Substitute i = 0, we get

$$\frac{4 !}{0 !(4-0) !} a^{4}(-b)^{0}=1 \cdot \frac{4 !}{0 !(4-0) !} a^{4}=a^4$

Substitute i = 1, we get

$$\frac{4 !}{1 !(4-1) !} a^{3}(-b)^{1}=\frac{4 !}{3!} a^{3}(-b)=-4 a^{3} b$

Substitute i = 2, we get

$$\frac{4 !}{2 !(4-2) !} a^{2}(-b)^{2}=\frac{12}{2 !} a^{2}(-b)^{2}=6 a^{2} b^{2}$

Substitute i = 3, we get

$$\frac{4 !}{3 !(4-3) !} a^{1}(-b)^{3}=\frac{4}{1 !} a(-b)^{3}=-4 a b^{3}$

Substitute i = 4, we get

$$\frac{4 !}{4 !(4-4) !} a^{0}(-b)^{4}=1 \cdot \frac{(-b)^{4}}{(4-4) !}=b^{4}$

Therefore,

$$(a-b)^4=\sum_{i=0}^{4}\left(\begin{array}{l}4 \\i\end{array}\right) a^{(4-i)}(-b)^{i}$

$=\frac{4 !}{0 !(4-0) !} a^{4}(-b)^{0}+\frac{4 !}{1 !(4-1) !} a^{3}(-b)^{1}+\frac{4 !}{2 !(4-2) !} a^{2}(-b)^{2}+\frac{4 !}{3 !(4-3) !} a^{1}(-b)^{3}+\frac{4 !}{4 !(4-4) !} a^{0}(-b)^{4}$ $=a^{4}-4 a^{3} b+6 a^{2} b^{2}-4 a b^{3}+b^{4}$

Hence the second term of the expansion is $-4a^3b$ .

How many pounds of mixed nuts that contain 70% peanuts must Shannon add to 15 pounds of mixed peanuts that contain 20% peanuts t

Degger [83]

Answer:

10 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x pounds be the amount of mixed nuts we require.

Amount of peanuts in this mix = 0.70x pounds. Amount of peanuts in the 20% mix = 0.20*15 = 3 pounds.

So we have the equation:-

0.70 x + 3 = 0.40(x + 15)

0.70x + 3 = 0.40x + 6

0.70x - 0.40x = 6 - 3

0.30x = 3

x = 10.
