What is the 8th term of the binomial expansion (x + y)10?

12345 [234]

We can use the Pascal's Triangle to solve this problem. This pascal's triangle is shown in the figure below. To build the triangle, begin with the number 1 at the top, then continue placing numbers below it in a triangular pattern. In this way, each number are the numbers directly above added together. So, the expression:

$(x+y)^{10}$

Can be extended as follows, for n = 10:

$(x+y)^{10}=x^{10}+10x^{9}y+45x^{8}y^2+120x^{7}y^3+210x^{6}y^4+252x^{5}y^5+210x^{4}y^6+120x^{3}y^7+45x^{2}y^8+10xy^9+y^{10}$

So, the 8th term of the binomial expansion is:

$120x^{3}y^7$

A forest ranger is in a forest 2 miles from a straight road. A car is located c miles down the road. The forest ranger can walk

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

T(x) = (√(4+x^2))/2 +(c -x)/4
(a) x = 1.155 miles
(b) x = 1/2 mile

Step-by-step explanation:

The straight line distance from the starting point to the point x on the road is given by the Pythagorean theorem:

d1 = √(2²+x²)

The time required to walk that distance in the woods (at 2 miles per hour) is ...

time = distance / speed

t1 = √(4+x²)/2

The remaining distance along the road to the car is ...

d2 = c - x . . . . . for c > x

and the corresponding time at 4 mph is ...

t2 = (c -x)/4

Then the total time is ...

T(x) = t1 +t2

T(x) = √(4+x²)/2 +(c -x)/4

__

(a) The value of x that minimizes total time is the one that makes the derivative zero.

T'(x) = x/(2√(4+x²)) -1/4

0 = (2x -√(4+x²))/(4√(4+x²))

√(4+x²) = 2x . . . . . fraction is zero when numerator is zero; add radical

4 +x² = 4x² . . . . . . square both sides

4/3 = x² . . . . . . . . . subtract x², divide by 3

x = (2/3)√3 ≈ 1.1547

If c = 9 miles, x = 1.1547 miles.

__

(b) For c < (2/3)√3, the shortest travel time will be along the straight-line path to the car.

If c = 1/2 mile, x = 1/2 mile.

The general form of the equation of a circle is x2 + y2 + 42x + 38y − 47 = 0. The equation of this circle in standard form is (x

DaniilM [7]

We have the following equation:
x2 + y2 + 42x + 38y - 47 = 0
We rewrite the equation:
x2 + 42x + y2 + 38y - 47 = 0
x2 + 42x + y2 + 38y = 47
Rewriting we have:
x2 + 42x + (42/2) ^ 2 + y2 + 38y + (38/2) ^ 2 = 47 + (42/2) ^ 2 + (38/2) ^ 2
x2 + 42x + 441 + y2 + 38y + 361 = 47 + 441 + 361
Rewriting we have:
(x + 21) ^ 2 + (y + 19) ^ 2 = 849
The center of the circle is:
(x, y) = (-21, -19)
The radio is:
r = root (849)
r = (849) ^ 2

A circle of the same radius is given by:
x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 - 50x - 30y + 1 = 0
Let's check:
x ^ 2 - 50x + y ^ 2 - 30y + 1 = 0
x ^ 2 - 50x + y ^ 2 - 30y = - 1
x ^ 2 - 50x + (-50/2) ^ 2 + y ^ 2 - 30y + (-30/2) ^ 2 = - 1 + (-30/2) ^ 2 + (-50/2) ^ 2
x ^ 2 - 50x + (-50/2) ^ 2 + y ^ 2 - 30y + (-30/2) ^ 2 = - 1 + 225 + 625
(x-25) ^ 2 + (y-15) ^ 2 = 849
Answer:
(x + 21) ^ 2 + (y + 19) ^ 2 = 849
(x, y) = (-21, -19)
r = (849) ^ 2
x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 - 50x - 30y + 1 = 0

Adam is using the equation (x)(x + 2) = 255 to find two consecutive odd integers with a product of 255. When Adam solves the pro

kondaur [170]

$\bf (x)(x+2)=255\implies x^2+2x=255\implies x^2+2x-255=y
\\\\
\textit{setting y=0}\implies x^2+2x-255=0
\\\\
\textit{now, factoring that}

(x+17)(x-15)=0\implies 
\begin{cases}
x=-17\\
x=15
\end{cases}$

notice the picture of the graph added here
low and behold, x = -17, y is 0, and x= 15, y is 0
the graph is touching the x-axis, an x-intercept
or so-called, a "solution"

11. A basketball team of 16 players consists of 6 guards, 7 forwards, and 3 centers. The coach decides to randomly select 5 play

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

0.2163

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we need to evaluate the total number of possible outcomes. Since there are 16 players, and we are selecting just 5, the total number of possibilities is 16C5= 4,368

Now, we know we need 2 guards from 6 , 2 forwards from 7 and 1 center from 3 to start the game. Since we are selecting, it is a combination problem. These can be done in the following number of ways:

6C2 * 7C2* 3C1

The probability is thus (6C2 * 7C2* 3C1 )/16C5 = 945/4368 = 0.2163
