Answer:
The fourth term of the expansion is -220 * x^9 * y^3
Step-by-step explanation:
Question:
Find the fourth term in (x-y)^12
Solution:
Notation: "n choose k", or combination of k objects from n objects,
C(n,k) = n! / ( k! (n-k)! )
For example, C(12,4) = 12! / (4! 8!) = 495
Using the binomial expansion formula
(a+b)^n
= C(n,0)a^n + C(n,1)a^(n-1)b + C(n,2)a^(n-2)b^2 + C(n,3)a^(n-3)b^3 + C(n,4)a^(n-4)b^4 +....+C(n,n)b^n
For (x-y)^12, n=12, k=3, a=x, b=-y, and the fourth term is
C(n,3)a^(n-3)b^3
=C(12,3) * x^(12-3) * (-y)^(3)
= 220*x^9*(-y)^3
= -220 * x^9 * y^3
They have the same absolute value because all opposites have the same absolut value because they both are the same distance from zero
Based on the SSS similarity theorem, the pair of triangles that can be proven to be similar is the pair shown in the image attached below.
<h3>What is the SSS Similarity Theorem?</h3>
The SSS similarity theorem states that two triangle area similar to each other if the ratio of the three corresponding sides of both triangles are equal.
Thus, in the image attached below, the ratio of the three corresponding sides of the pair of triangles are:
10/2.5 = 11/2.75 = 8/2 = 4
Therefore, the pair of triangles that we can prove to be similar using the SSS similarity theorem is the pair shown in the image attached below.

A polynomial with roots a and b is (x - a)(x - b).
(x - 2)(x - (-1))(x - 4) = 0
(x - 2)(x + 1)(x - 4) = 0
has roots 2, -1, and 4.
Answer: The answer is 1/2
