Answer:

  (a) -29,884,416

  (b) C(n,(n -k)/2) . . . where C(n,k) = n!/(k!(n-k)!) and k ∈ ℕ

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The coefficient of the k-th term of the expansion is ...

  C(20,k)(3x)^(20-k)(-2y)^k

For k=19, this is ...

  19(3x)(-2y)^19 = -29,884,416xy^19

The coefficient of the term is -29,884,416.

__

(b) The p-th term of the expansion of (x +1/x)^n is ...

  C(n,p)(x^(n-p)(1/x)^p = C(n,p)(x^(n-2p))

For some exponent k of x, the value of p will be ...

  k = n -2p

  p = (n -k)/2

Then the coefficient of x^k will be C(n, (n-k)/2), where C(n, x) = n!/(x!(n-x)!).

You will notice that there will only be a term x^k for k having the same parity as n.

A cone-shaped hole is drilled into a solid cube of metal as shown. If the cube has sides of length 7 cm, what is the volume of t
aivan3 [116]
This problem really should have the image attached, as we are not quite sure what the radius of the cone is, nor are we sure about how deeply the cone-shaped hole is bored into the cube.  When I did this, I just assumed that the radius of the cone was half the length of the cube which is 3.5, and I assumed that the height of the cone was the same as the height of the cube which is 7. So the volume for the cube itself is 7*7*7=343. Now we have to subtract from that the volume of the cube, which has a formula of V= \frac{1}{3}  \pi  r^{2} h
If we fill in those values I'm assuming to be accurate, our formula then looks like this:
V= \frac{1}{3}(3.14)( 3.5^{2} )(7)
which equals 89.752   If we subtract the volume of the cone from the volume of the cube, we will get that volume of what's left is V=253.2 cm^{3}
