What is the binomial expansion of (x+2y)^7

Which pair shows equivalent expressions?

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Which pair shows equivalent expressions?

A.2(2/5x + 2)=2 2/5x + 1

B.2(2/5x + 2)=4/5x + 4

C.2(2/5x + 4)=4/5x + 2

D.2(2/5x + 4)=2 2/5x + 8

Solution:

$2(\frac{2}{5}x + 2)$

Let us distribute 2 inside the parenthesis.

That is, we use distributive property:

a(b+c)=ab+ac

$2(\frac{2}{5}x + 2) =\frac{2*2}{5}x+2*2$

So, $2(\frac{2}{5}x + 2) =\frac{4}{5}x+4$

Answer:Option (b)

$2(\frac{2}{5}x+4)$

Applying distributive property, a(b+c)=ab+ac

$2(\frac{2}{5}x+4) =2*\frac{2}{5} x+2*4$

$2(\frac{2}{5}x+4) =\frac{2*2}{5} x+2*4$

$2(\frac{2}{5}x+4) =\frac{4}{5} x+8$

So, Option (B) is correct.

For each of the following sequences, • Give a formula for the nth term in the sequence, • Give a recursive definition for the se

Andrew [12]

Answer:

(a) $n^{th} = n$

$f(1) = 1$

$f(n) = f(n-1) + 1$

(b) $n^{th} = 2^{n-1}$

$f(1) = 1$

$f(n) = f(n-1) * 2$

(c) $n^{th} = n!$

$f(1) = 1$

$f(n) = f(n-1) * n$

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) This is a sequence of consecutive number

$n^{th} = n$

$f(1) = 1$

$f(n) = f(n-1) + 1$

(b) This is a sequence of 2 to the power of n - 1. The next number is twice time of this number

$n^{th} = 2^{n-1}$

$f(1) = 1$

$f(n) = f(n-1) * 2$

(c) This is factorial sequence. Where the next number is this number multiplied by $n^{th}$

$n^{th} = n!$

$f(1) = 1$

$f(n) = f(n-1) * n$

Can a line segment have two midpoints ?

zzz [600]

Actually, no they cannot. The midpoint is the single point at the very center of the line segment. Since no segment can have multiple centers, they cannot have more than a single midpoint. Sorry :3

Hope this helped!! :D

How can Ari simplify the following expression? StartFraction 5 Over a minus 3 EndFraction minus 4 divided by 2 + StartFraction 1

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

$-\frac{8}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{5}{-3} - \frac{4}{2} + \frac{1}{-3}$

Required

Simpify

The very first step is to take LCM of the given expression

$\frac{-10 -4 - 2}{6}$

Perform arithmetic operations o the numerator

$-\frac{16}{6}$

Divide the numerator and denominator by 2

$-\frac{16/2}{6/2}$

$-\frac{8}{3}$

The expression can't be further simplified;

Hence, $\frac{5}{-3} - \frac{4}{2} + \frac{1}{-3}$ = $-\frac{8}{3}$
