Use the binomial formula to find the coefficient of the q^4 p^17

Mathematics

Nata [24]2 years ago

Recal the binomial theorem:

\displaystyle (a+b)^n = \sum_{k=0}^n \binom nk a^{n-k} b^k

Then

\displaystyle (2q+p)^{21} = \sum_{k=0}^{21} \binom{21}k (2q)^{21-k} p^k = \sum_{k=0}^{21} \binom{21}k 2^{21-k} q^{21-k} p^k

We get the q⁴p¹⁷ term when k = 17, and its coefficient would be

\dbinom{21}{17} 2^{21-17} = \dfrac{21!}{17!(21-17)!} 2^4 = \dfrac{21\cdot20\cdot19\cdot18}{4\cdot3\cdot2\cdot1}\cdot2^4 = \boxed{95,760}

olchik [2.2K]
If we let p and t be the masses of the paper and textbook, respectively, the equations that would best represent the given in this item are:
      (1)       20p + 9t = 44.4
      (2)       (20 + 5)p + (9 + 1)t = 51

The values of p and t from the equation are 0.6 and 3.6, respectively. Thus, each paperback weighs 0.6 pounds and each textbook weighs 3.6 pounds.

horrorfan [7]
Input of 3.....output of -6.......(3 * -2 = -6)
input of -2....output of 4........(-2 * -2 = 4)
input of 0....output of 0.........(0 * -2 = 0)

Help me w this multiple choice!
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

\sin(30)  =  \frac{n}{ \frac{10 \sqrt{3} }{3} }   \\ 0.5 =  \frac{n}{5.77} \\ n = 2.88 =  \frac{5 \sqrt{3} }{3}

\cos(30)  =  \frac{m}{ \frac{10 \sqrt{3} }{3} }  \\ 0.866 =  \frac{m}{5.77}  \\ m = 5
