Answer:

9.4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle formed is  aright angled triangle with the right angle between the  length and width of the paper cut hence the diagonal represents the hypotenuse side.

Recall that Pythagoras theorem states that

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where c is the hypotenuse side and a, b are the opposite and adjacent sides

Hence

8^2 + 5^2 = c^2

c^2 = 64 + 25

= 89

Finding the roots of both sides

c = 9.433981132

To the nearest tenth

c = 9.4 inches

Remember
\frac{x^m}{x^n}=x^{m-n}
and
if a^b=a^c where a=a, then b=c
so
\frac{7^9}{7^n}=7^{9-n}=7^3
7^{9-n}=7^3
so
9-n=3
-n=-6
n=6

answer is 6

Find the coefficient of the fourth term of (x+2)^5
rjkz [21]
The coefficients of the binomial expansion (a+b)^n, where n is the row number, is given in the Pascal's triangle shown below.

First, to find the <span>coefficient of the fourth term of (x+2)^5 we look at row 5, term 4. The coefficient there is 10.

But, we must also remember that the term 2 also is taken to a certain power here. Mainly , for each term, the power of 2 is as follows:

2^0,  2^1,  2^2,  2^3=8.

So, in total we have: 10*8=80.


Second, to find </span><span> the coefficient of the third term of (3x-1)^5 we again go to the row 5, this time term 3 and we have 10 there. Now we must check how each of (3x) and 1 expand, now being careful about the sign as well.

we have:
                     (3x)^5 (1)         -(3x)^4 (1)         (3x)^3(1)=27x^3.


Thus, the coefficient of the third term is 27*10=270.

 
Third, we want to find </span><span>the coefficient of the third term of (a+5b^2)^4. We look at row 4, term 3. There we have 6.

The terms a and 5b^2 are as follows:

             a^4 (5b^2)^0        </span> a^3 (5b^2)^1       a^2 (5b^2)^2=25a^2b^4

Thus, the coefficient is 25*6=150.


Answer:

80; 270; 150

Y=5x-2 is the equation of a straight line graph. Why is its gradient ?
olga55 [171]
The gradient is the direction of steepest ascent. 5 is the coefficient of x, <span>y=mx+c,</span> so 5 is the gradient to this algebraic equation.<span />
