A good place to start is to set to y. That would mean we are looking for
to be an integer. Clearly,
, because if y were greater the part under the radical would be a negative, making the radical an imaginary number, not an integer. Also note that since
is a radical, it only outputs values from
, which means y is on the closed interval:
.
With that, we don't really have to consider y anymore, since we know the interval that is on.
Now, we don't even have to find the x values. Note that only 11 perfect squares lie on the interval , which means there are at most 11 numbers that x can be which make the radical an integer. All of the perfect squares are easily constructed. We can say that if k is an arbitrary integer between 0 and 11 then:
Which is strictly positive so we know for sure that all 11 numbers on the closed interval will yield a valid x that makes the radical an integer.
Answer:
The correct option is;
False
Step-by-step explanation:
The coefficient of x^k·y^(n-k) is nk, False
The kth coefficient of the binomial expansion, (x + y)ⁿ is
Where;
k = r - 1
r = The term in the series
For an example the expansion of (x + y)⁵, we have;
(x + y)⁵ = x⁵ + 5·x⁴·y + 10·x³·y² + 10·x²·y³ + 5·x·y⁴ + y⁵
The third term, (k = 3) coefficient is 10 while n×k = 3×5 = 15
Therefore, the coefficient of x^k·y^(n-k) for the expansion (x + y)ⁿ = not nk
