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

1 answer:

3 0

(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

You have a need to purchase 30 units of a product and have them delivered to your company in five days. The sale price is $35 ea

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer: $1411.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sale price is $35 each and there are 30 units, the cost will be:

= $35 × 30

= $1050

We then add the sales tax on the product which is 8%. This will be:

= $1050 + (8% × $1050)

= $1050 + (0.08 × $1050)

= $1050 + $84

= $1134

We then add Shipping price which is $15. This will be:

= $1134 + $15

= $1149

We then add the 25% rush charge on the sales price. This will be:

= $1050 × 25%

= $1050 × 0.25

= $262.50

To get total cost, this will be:

= $1149 + $262.50

= $1411.50

A rational function can have infinitely many x-values at which it is not continuous. True or False. If false, explain

sattari [20]

It is false since the rational function is discontinuous when the denominator is zero. But the denominator is a polynomial and a polynomial has only finitely many zeros. So the discontinuity points of a rational function is finite.

The frequency distribution below represents the rents of 250 randomly selected federally subsidized apartments in Washington D.C

Naily [24]

Answer:

92%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage of apartments rented for less than $600 is given by the sum of all of the apartments in the 300 to 400, 400 to 500 and 500 to 600 intervals divided by the total number of apartments sampled (250).
