Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute x = 3 into the expression

= $\frac{(9-3)^2+4}{5}$

= $\frac{6^2+4}{5}$

= $\frac{36+4}{5}$

= $\frac{40}{5}$

= 8

2x-1=3/4x+9 Help Me Brainilist to whoever explains the best

alexdok [17]

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

normally it would be 2x-1= $\frac{3}{4}$ x+9 so now we have to combine the x into one fraction which will be 2x-1= $\frac{3x}{4}$ +9 now for my way i will be taking the -1 to the other side and when that happens its going to become positive so now the answer will be 2x= $\frac{3x}{4}$ +10 ok so now we have to have the x's to the same side so i have to drag the fraction to the other side and making it positive which will conclude into 1.25x=10 and now 10 divided by 1.25 is 8 so the answer is x=8 (sorry for the ok nows) hope this helped

For the given term, find the binomial raised to the power, whose expansion it came from: 15(5)^2 (-1/2 x) ^4

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

C. $(5-\frac{1}{2})^6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$15(5)^2(-\frac{1}{2})^4$

Required

Determine which binomial expansion it came from

The first step is to add the powers of he expression in brackets;

$Sum = 2 + 4$

$Sum = 6$

Each term of a binomial expansion are always of the form:

$(a+b)^n = ......+ ^nC_ra^{n-r}b^r+.......$

Where n = the sum above

$n = 6$

Compare $15(5)^2(-\frac{1}{2})^4$ to the above general form of binomial expansion

$(a+b)^n = ......+15(5)^2(-\frac{1}{2})^4+.......$

Substitute 6 for n

$(a+b)^6 = ......+15(5)^2(-\frac{1}{2})^4+.......$

[Next is to solve for a and b]

From the above expression, the power of (5) is 2

Express 2 as 6 - 4

$(a+b)^6 = ......+15(5)^{6-4}(-\frac{1}{2})^4+.......$

By direct comparison of

$(a+b)^n = ......+ ^nC_ra^{n-r}b^r+.......$

and

$(a+b)^6 = ......+15(5)^{6-4}(-\frac{1}{2})^4+.......$

We have;

$^nC_ra^{n-r}b^r= 15(5)^{6-4}(-\frac{1}{2})^4$

Further comparison gives

$^nC_r = 15$

$a^{n-r} =(5)^{6-4}$

$b^r= (-\frac{1}{2})^4$

[Solving for a]

By direct comparison of $a^{n-r} =(5)^{6-4}$

$a = 5$

$n = 6$

$r = 4$

[Solving for b]

By direct comparison of $b^r= (-\frac{1}{2})^4$

$r = 4$

$b = \frac{-1}{2}$

Substitute values for a, b, n and r in

$(a+b)^n = ......+ ^nC_ra^{n-r}b^r+.......$

$(5+\frac{-1}{2})^6 = ......+ ^6C_4(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......$

$(5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+ ^6C_4(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......$

Solve for $^6C_4$

$(5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+ \frac{6!}{(6-4)!4!)}*(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......$

$(5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+ \frac{6!}{2!!4!}*(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......$

$(5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+ \frac{6*5*4!}{2*1*!4!}*(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......$

$(5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+ \frac{6*5}{2*1}*(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......$

$(5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+ \frac{30}{2}*(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......$

$(5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+15*(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......$

$(5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+15(5)^{6-4}(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......$

$(5-\frac{1}{2})^6 = ......+15(5)^2(\frac{-1}{2})^4+.......$

Check the list of options for the expression on the left hand side

The correct answer is $(5-\frac{1}{2})^6$

9. Consider the function f(x) = x² + 3x – 4.

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

c. f(x) = (x + 4)(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you're familiar with the product of two binomials:

(x +a)(x +b) = x² + (a+b)x + ab

you know that the constants in the binomial factors must ...

have a product of -4
have a sum of +3

All of the choices except B have binomial constants that have a product of -4.

In order, the sums of the remaining choices are ...

A: 1-4 = -3

C: 4-1 = 3 . . . . this is the correct choice

D: -2+2 = 0
