<u>n=6</u>

Answer:

Solution given:

The coefficient of x^2=60

we have,

(a+x)^n=C(n,0)a^n+C(n,1)a^(n-1)x+C(n,2)a^(n-2)x^2+C(n,3)a^(n-3)x^3....C(n,r)a^(n-r)x^r+C(n,n)x^n

we get x² in 3rd term,so

3rd term of  (1+2x)^n is C(n,2)*1^n-2)(2x)^2=C(n,2)4x²

since 1^n is 1.

we have a coefficient of x^2 is 60, so

C(n,2)4=60

C(n,2)=60/4

\frac{n!}{(n-2)!*2!}=15

\frac{n(n-1)(n-2)!}{(n-2)!*2!}=15

n(n-1)=15*2

n^2-n=30

n^2-n-30=0

doing middle term factorization

n^2-6x+5x-30=0

n(n-6)+5(n-6)=0

(n-6)(n+5)=0

either n-6=0

n=6

or,

n+5=0

n=-5 since n>0

so neglected.

<u>So the value of n is 6.</u>

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

undefined slope

Step-by-step explanation:

The points contain the same x-value. This means that the line is vertical.

All vertical lines have an undefined slope.

Temperature in degrees Fahrenheit is equal to 32 more than 9/5 times the temperature in degrees Celsius . One day the high tempe
bazaltina [42]

The high temperature is 35 degree celsius

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, Temperature in degrees Fahrenheit is equal to 32 more than 9/5 times the temperature in degrees Celsius

Let "f" be the temperature in degree Fahrenheit

Let "c" be the temperature in degree celsius

Therefore,

Temperature in degrees Fahrenheit = 32 + \frac{9}{5} times the temperature in degrees Celsius

f = 32 + \frac{9}{5} \times c

One day the high temperature in Edison. Nj was 95 degrees Fahrenheit

f = 95 ; c = ?

Substitute f = 95 in above equation

95 = 32 + \frac{9c}{5}\\\\95=\frac{32 \times 5 +9c}{5}\\\\95 \times 5 = 160+9c\\\\475 = 160 + 9c\\\\9c = 475 - 160\\\\9c = 315\\\\c = 35

Thus high temperature in degrees Celsius is 35 degree celsius

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

L=2W

P=2(L+W), using L=2W this becomes

P=2(2W+W)

P=2(3W)

P=6W, given P=150

6W=150

W=25, and since L=2W

L=50 so

L=50ft and W=25ft
