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 $-4a^3b$ .

2x+3y=12 find four solutions

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

y = 0 and x = 6

y = 2 and x = 3

y = 4 and x = 0

y = 6 and x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+3y=12 is the equation of a straight line.

There are infinite number of solutions, but here you're probably looking for solutions where x and y are whole numbers. Trial and error will find you some, although if you examine the equation closely you see that if x is a multiple of 3 and y is a multiple of 2, then they produce terms that are the LCM (least common multiple) of 2 and 3, namely 6. That's the logic in the whole number solutions.

Is 7 asolution for the equation 2x + 12=3x +(-2x + 5)

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2X + 12=13x - 2x + 5

2X + 12= 11x+5

2x-11x = 5-12

-9x = -7

X = 7/9

so the answer is NO
