Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions.
a1 = 5
a2 = 5*r = 5*(5/4) = 25/4 
a3 = 5*r² = 5*(5/4)² = 125/16 
a4 = 5*r³ = 5*(5/4)³ = 625/256 
a5 = 5*r⁴ = 5*(5/4)⁴ = 3125/1024

Expand (2x-3y)^4 using Pascal's Triangle. Show work

deff fn [24]

(2x+3y)⁴
1) let 2x = a and 3y = b

(a+b)⁴ = a⁴ + a³b + a²b² + ab³ + b⁴
Now let's find the coefficient of each factor using Pascal Triangle

0 | 1
1 | 1 1
2 | 1 2 1
3 | 1 3 3 1
4 | 1 4 6 4 1

0,1,2,3,4,.. represent the exponents of binomials
Since our binomial has a 4th exponents, the coefficients are respectively:

(1)a⁴ + (4)a³b + (6)a²b² + (4)ab³ + (1)b⁴
Now replace a and b by their real values in (1):

2⁴x⁴ +(4)8x³(3y) + (6)(2²x²)(3²y²) + (4)(2x)(3³y³) + (1)(3⁴)(y⁴)

16x⁴ + 96x³y + 216x²y² + 216xy³ + 81y⁴

A number k is less than 3 units from 10. What's the absolute value inequality???

Brrunno [24]

It would be: k+3 = 10

subtracting 3 from both sides,

k+3-3 = 10-3

k=7

Find the point (x,y) of x2+14xy+49y2=100 that is closest to the origin and lies in the first quadrant.

Gala2k [10]

Notice that

$x^2+14xy+49y^2=(x+7y)^2$

so the constraint is a set of two lines,

$(x+7y)^2=100\implies\begin{cases}x+7y=10\\x+7y=10\end{cases}$

and only the first line passes through the first quadrant.

The distance between any point $(x,y)$ in the plane is $\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$ , but we know that $\sqrt{f(x,y)}$ and $f(x,y)$ share the same critical points, so we need only worry about minimizing $x^2+y^2$ . The Lagrangian for this problem is then

$L(x,y,\lambda)=x^2+y^2+\lambda(x+7y-10)$

with partial derivatives (set equal to 0)

$L_x=2x+\lambda=0$

$L_y=2y+7\lambda=0$

$L_\lambda=x+7y-10=0$

We have

$L_y-7L_x=2y-14x=0\implies y=7x$

which tells us that

$x+7y-10=0\iff x+49x=10\implies x=\dfrac15\implies y=\dfrac75$

so that $\left(\dfrac15,\dfrac75\right)$ is a critical point. The Hessian for the target function $x^2+y^2$ is

$H(x,y)=\begin{bmatrix}2&0\\0&2\end{bmatrix}$

which is positive definite for all $x,y$ , so the critical point is the site of a minimum. The minimum distance itself (which we don't seem to care about for this problem, but we might as well state it) is $\sqrt{\left(\dfrac15\right)^2+\left(\dfrac75\right)^2}=2$ .
