Answer:

AB is 16 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

AE = EC

BF = FC

EF = 8 and DF = 10

To Find:

AB = ?

Solution:

Mid Point Theorem:

The Midpoint Theorem states that "the segment joining two sides of a triangle at the midpoints of those sides is parallel to the third side and is half the length of the third side".

AE = EC .....Given

Therefore E is the Mid Point of AC.

BF = FC .....Given

Therefore F is the Mid Point of BC.

Therefore,

EF || AB ........................Mid Point Theorem.

..............Mid Point Theorem.

Substituting the values we get

Therefore AB is 16 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pascal's Triangle to determine the second term of the expansion of (x - 2)^5

goldfiish [28.3K]

Pascal's triangle up to the 5th iteration is

$\begin{array}{cccccc}1\\1&1\\1&2&1\\1&3&3&1\\1&4&6&4&1\\1&5&10&10&5&1\end{array}$

This tells us

$(x-2)^5=\boxed{1}x^5(-2)^0+\boxed{5}x^4(-2)^1+\boxed{10}x^3(-2)^2+\boxed{10}x^2(-2)^3+\boxed{5}x^1(-2)^4+\boxed{1}x^0(-2)^5$

so the second term in the expansion is

$5x^4(-2)^1=\boxed{-10x^4}$

I think your equation is on the paper; it’s 2016 A.D + 544 then you’ll get your answer and which is 2560.

(-1,1)
D0 means starting at the origin of Z in this case, so doing the same thing as always, multiply the scale factor -1/2 to the coordinate of Z giving you (-1,1) and this is the final answer because the origin is (0,0) so doesn’t change anything
