1.2 / 1.7 = 7.5 / x
cross multiply
(1.2)(x) = (1.7)(7.5)
1.2x = 12.75
x = 12.75 / 1.2
x = 10.625 meters <==

Find the first three terms in the expansion , in ascending power of x , of (2+x)^6 and obtain the coefficient of x^2 in the expa

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

The first 3 terms in the expansion of $(2 + x)^{6}$ , in ascending power of x are,

$64 , 192 \times x^{1} {\textrm{ and }}240 \times x^{2}$

coefficient of $x^{2}$ in the expansion of $(2+x - x^{2})^{6}$ = (240 - 192) = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

$(2+x)^{6}$

= $\sum_{k=0}^{6}(6_{C_{k}} \times x^{k} \times 2^{6 - k})$

= $6_{C_{0}} \times x^{0} \times 2^{6} + 6_{C_{1}} \times x^{1} \times 2^{5} + 6_{C_{2}} \times x^{2} \times 2^{4}$ + terms involving higher powers of x

= $64 + 192 \times x^{1} + 240 \times x^{2}$ + terms involving higher powers of x

so, the first 3 terms in the expansion of $(2 + x)^{6}$ , in ascending power of x are,

$64 , 192 \times x^{1} {\textrm{ and }}240 \times x^{2}$

Again,

$(2+x - x^{2})^{6}$

= $\sum_{k=0}^{6}(6_{C_{k}} \times (2 + x)^{k} \times (-x^{2})^{6 - k})$

Now, by inspection,

the term $x^{2}$ comes from k =5 and k = 6

for k = 5, the coefficient of $x^{2}$ is , $(-32) \times 6$ = -192

for k = 6 , the coefficient of $x^{2}$ is, $6_{C_{2}} \times 2^{4}$ = 240

so, coefficient of $x^{2}$ in the final expression = (240 - 192) = 48

Mr. and mrs.storey drive 3200 miles in all during their vacation. mr.storey drove 3 times as many miles as mrs.storey how many m

vaieri [72.5K]

This can be solve by establishing equations.
let x be the miles mrs. storey drove
y be the miles mr storey drovee

the first equation is
y = 3x

second equation
x + y = 3200
then substitute equation 1

x + 3x = 3200
4x = 3200
x = 800 miles mrs storey drove
y = 3x = 2400 miles mr storey drove
