6. Given that the term independent of x in the binomial expansion of (x²+p/x)^6 is 240,
(a) find the value of the positive constant p

Answers

Answer 1

By the binomial theorem,

[tex]\displaystyle \left(x^2 + \frac px\right)^6 = \sum_{n=0}^6 \binom 6n \left(x^2\right)^n \left(\frac px\right)^{6-n} = \sum_{n=0}^6 p^{6-n} \binom 6n x^{3n-6}[/tex]

where

[tex]\dbinom kn = \dfrac{k!}{n!(k-n)!}[/tex]

is the so-called binomial coefficient.

The term that's independent of x is the constant term, which occurs when [tex]3n-6=0[/tex], or [tex]n=2[/tex]. Given that this constant 240, we have

[tex]p^{6-2} \dbinom62 = 240 \implies p^4 = 16 \implies p = \pm2[/tex]

but [tex]p[/tex] must be positive, so [tex]\boxed{p=2}[/tex]

Answer:

65/8

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Turn all numbers into improper fractions: 17/2 - 3/8 = ?

2) Make all denominators the same number by finding the least common factor, which is 8. Multiply the denominator in 17/2, which is 2, by 4 to match the other denominator. And then multiply the numerator (17) by 4 as well so that the fraction still has the same value: 68/8 - 3/8 = 65/8

3) Can not simplify since there are no common factors between 65 and 8.

Use the drawing tools to sketch the graph of a rational function with a domain of { x | x ∈ R , x ≠ - 5 , 4 } . Include one removable discontinuity and one nonremovable discontinuity. Label each discontinuity using the text tool.

Answers

If [tex]f(x)[/tex] has a removable discontinuity at [tex]x=a[/tex], then the limit

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x\to a} \frac{f(x)}{x-a}[/tex]

exists and is finite.

A non-removable discontinuity at [tex]x=b[/tex] would entail a non-finite limit,

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x\to b} \frac{f(x)}{x-b} = \pm\infty[/tex]

or the limit does not exist (which could be due to the limits from either side of [tex]x=b[/tex] not matching or existing).

For a rational function, we want

[tex]f(x) = \dfrac{p(x)}{q(x)}[/tex]

where [tex]p[/tex] and [tex]q[/tex] are polynomials in [tex]x[/tex]. To get a removable discontinuity at [tex]x=a[/tex], both [tex]p[/tex] and [tex]q[/tex] must be divisible by [tex]x-a[/tex], and the limit of their quotient after removing these factors still exists. That is,

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x\to a} f(x) = \lim_{x\to a} \frac{p(x)}{q(x)} = \lim_{x\to a}  \frac{(x-a)p^*(x)}{(x-a)q^*(x)} = \lim_{x\to a} \frac{p^*(x)}{q^*(x)} = \frac{p^*(a)}{q^*(a)}[/tex]

On the flip side, we get a non-removable discontinuity [tex]x=b[/tex] if [tex]p[/tex] is not divisible by [tex]x-b[/tex], in which case

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x\to b} f(x) = \lim_{x\to b} \frac{p(x)}{q(x)} = \lim_{x\to b}  \frac{p(x)}{(x-b)q^*(x)} = \frac{p(b)}{0\times q^*(b)}[/tex]

and this is undefined.

Suppose [tex]f(x)[/tex] has a non-removable discontinuity at [tex]x=-5[/tex] and a removable one at [tex]x=4[/tex]. Then one such function could be

[tex]f(x) = \dfrac{x-4}{(x-4)(x+5)} = \dfrac{x-4}{x^2+x-20}[/tex]

The marked price of the projector is $50,000.

What is the marked price?

The price of the projector after the discount can be represented with:

Where x is the marked price

The price of the projector after the VAT is : (1.13) x 0.90x = 1.02x

Difference in price = 1.02x - 0.90x = 5850

Answer:

(0, 4) and (-1, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system of equations:

[tex]\begin{cases}y=2x^2+6x+4\\y=-4x^2+4\end{cases}[/tex]

Solve by substitution

Substitute the first equation into the second:

[tex]\implies 2x^2+6x+4=-4x^2+4[/tex]

Add 4x² to both sides:

[tex]\implies 2x^2+6x+4+4x^2=-4x^2+4+4x^2[/tex]

[tex]\implies 6x^2+6x+4=4[/tex]

Subtract 4 from both sides:

[tex]\implies 6x^2+6x+4-4=4-4[/tex]

[tex]\implies 6x^2+6x=0[/tex]

Factor out 6x from the left side:

[tex]\implies 6x(x+1)=0[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\implies 6x=0 \implies x=0[/tex]

[tex]\implies x+1=0 \implies x=-1[/tex]

To find the y-coordinates of the found x-values, substitute the found values of x into one of the equations:

[tex]x=0 \implies -4(0)^2+4=4 \implies (0,4)[/tex]

[tex]x=-1\implies -4(-1)^2+4=0\implies (-1,0)[/tex]

Therefore, the solutions to the system of equations are:

(0, 4) and (-1, 0)

Answer:

Solutions:

a) x = 0, y = 4 ⇒ (0, 4)

b) x = -1, y = 0 ⇒ (-1, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system of equations:

a) y = 2x² + 6x + 4

b) y = -4x² + 4

1. Substitute the value of y in the second equation into the first equation:

⇒ -4x² + 4 = 2x² + 6x + 4

2. Solve for x:

⇒ -4x² + 4 = 2x² + 6x + 4 [subtract 4 from both sides]

⇒ -4x² + 4 - 4 = 2x² + 6x + 4 - 4

⇒ -4x² = 2x² + 6x [subtract 2x² from both sides]

⇒ -4x² - 2x² = 2x² - 2x² + 6x

⇒ -6x² = 6x [subtract 6x from both sides]

⇒ -6x² - 6x = 6x - 6x

⇒ -6x² - 6x = 0 [factor out -6x from the equation]

⇒ -6x(x + 1) = 0

Two cases:

a)

⇒ -6x = 0 [divide both sides by -6]        

⇒ -6x ÷ -6 = 0 ÷ -6

x = 0

b)

⇒ x + 1 = 0 [subtract 1 from both sides]

⇒ x + 1 - 1 = 0 - 1

x = -1

3. Find the value of y by substituting the found x values into one of the given equations:

a) x = 0:

⇒ y = -4x² + 4

⇒ y = -4(0)² + 4

⇒ y = -4(0) + 4

⇒ y = = 0 + 4

⇒ y = 4

coordinate: (0, 4)

b) x = -1:

⇒ y = -4x² + 4

⇒ y = -4(-1)² + 4

⇒ y = -4(1) + 4

⇒ y = -4 + 4

⇒ y = 0

coordinate: (-1, 0)

find the value of x in the given figure​

Answers

To solve this problem, you will first use the Angle Sum Property to determine the value of x after creating an algebraic equation, combining like terms, and subtracting from both sides of an equation.

Use the Angle Sum Property

The Angle Sum Property states that all interior angles of a triangle will summate to 180º.

An equation can be created to find this when you are given two angles and missing a third. That third angle can be referred to as x in this scenario.

Adding the two known angles and the unknown angle will result in a sum of 180º. This means that our unknown is x and can therefore be placed in an equation:

[tex]65+42+x=180[/tex]

Combine Like Terms

Combine the like terms by combining the constants on the left side of the equation using addition:

[tex]65+42+x=180[/tex]

[tex]107+x=180[/tex]

Subtract

After combining like terms, subtract 107 from both sides of the equation:

[tex]107 - 107 +x = 180-107[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{x=73}[/tex]

The final answer is x = 73 degrees.
