Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

THE BINOMIAL THEOREM shows how to calculate a power of a binomial -- (a + b)n -- without actually multiplying.

For example, if we actually multiplied out the 4th power of (a + b) --

(a + b)4 = (a + b)(a + b)(a + b)(a + b)

-- then on collecting like terms we would find:

(a + b)4 = a4 + 4a3b + 6a2b2 + 4ab3 + b4 .  .  .  .  (1)

Note:  The literal factors are all possible terms in a and b where the sum of the exponents is 4:  a4,  a3b,  a2b2,  ab3,  b4.

The degree of each term is 4.

The first term is actually a4b0, which is a4 · 1.

Thus to "expand" (a + b)5, we would anticipate the following terms, in which the sum of all the exponents is 5:

(a + b)5 =  ? a5 +  ? a4b +  ? a3b2 +  ? a2b3 +  ? ab4 +  ? b5

The question is, What are the coefficients?

They are called the binomial coefficients.  In the expansion of

(a + b)4, the binomial coefficients are

1  4  6  4  1

line (1) above.

 Note the symmetry:  The coefficients from left to right are the same right to left.

The answer to the question, "What are the binomial coefficients?" is called the binomial theorem.  It shows how to calculate the coefficients in the expansion of (a + b)n.

The symbol for a binomial coefficient is The binomial theorem.  The upper index n is the exponent of the expansion; the lower index k indicates which term, starting with k = 0.

For example, when n = 5, each term in the expansion of  (a + b)5  will look like this:

The binomial theorema5 − kbk

k will successively take on the values 0 through 5.

(a + b)5 = The binomial theorema5  +  The binomial theorema4b  +  The binomial theorema3b2  +  The binomial theorema2b3  +  The binomial theorem ab4  +  The binomial theoremb5

Note:  Each lower index is the exponent of b.  The first term has k = 0 because in the first term, b appears as b0, which is 1.

Now, what are these binomial coefficients, The binomial theorem ?

The theorem states that the binomial coefficients are none other than the combinatorial numbers, nCk .

The binomial theorem  =  nCk

 (a + b)5  =  5C0a5 + 5C1a4b + 5C2a3b2 + 5C3a2b3 + 5C4ab4 + 5C5b5

  =  1a5 + The binomial theorema4b + The binomial theorema3b2 + The binomial theorema2b3 + The binomial theoremab4 + The binomial theoremb5

  =  a5  +  5a4b  +  10a3b2  +  10a2b3  +  5ab4  +  b5

The binomial coefficients here are

1  5  10  10  5  1.

The area of a triangle is 32
Serhud [2]
We have the formula A = (h x b) / 2, where A is the area of the triangle, h is the height of the triangle, b is the base of the triangle;
So, 32 =(8 x b) / 2;
Then, 64 = 8 x b;
b = 64 ÷ 8;
b = 8 inches;

Answer please !! Due in 45 minutes m
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

(-3,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using elimination:

Multiply the first equation by 8 and the second by 5 which equals

40x+56y=48

-40-60y=-60

Now you add them together

40x+(-40x)=0 so that crosses out

56y+(-60y)= -4y

48+(-60)=-12

You now have -4y=-12

Divide by -4

y=3

Now plug in y to any of the equations

5x+7(3)=6

5x+21=6

Subtract 21 from both sides

5x=-15

Divide by 5

x=-3

Your final solution is (-3,3)

Does this set of ordered pairs form a function?
zhenek [66]

Considering that each input is related to only one output, the correct option regarding whether the relation is a function is:

A. yes.

<h3>When does a relation represent a function?</h3>

A relation represents a function when each value of the input is mapped to only one value of the output.

For this problem, we have that:

  • The input is a number.
  • The output is an activity.

There are no repeated inputs, hence the relation is a function and option A is correct.
