Determine the coefficient of x^3 in the expansion of (1 – x)^5(1 + 1/x)^5

Answers

Answer 1

Notice that

(1 - x)⁵ (1 + 1/x)⁵ = ((1 - x) (1 + 1/x))⁵ = (1 - x + 1/x - 1)⁵ = (1/x - x)⁵

Recall the binomial theorem:

[tex]\displaystyle(a+b)^n = \sum_{k=0}^n\binom nk a^{n-k}b^k[/tex]

Let a = 1/x, b = -x, and n = 5. Then

[tex]\displaystyle\left(\frac1x-x\right)^5 = \sum_{k=0}^5\binom5k\left(\frac1x\right)^{5-k}(-x)^k = \sum_{k=0}^5 (-1)^k\binom5k x^{2k-5}[/tex]

We get an x ³ term for

2k - 5 = 3   ==>   2k = 8   ==>   k = 4

so that the coefficient would be

[tex](-1)^4\dbinom54 = \boxed{5}[/tex]

A cube with a volume of 216 cubic feet has all but the top and bottom faces painted. What is the total area of the two unpainted sides?

Answers

The volume of a cube is Side ^3

Find the cubic root of the volume to find the side length:

Side = cubicroot(216) = 6 feet.

The area of a face of a cube is s^2

Area of a face = 6^2 = 36 square feet.

Area of 2 faces = 36 x 2 = 72 square feet

Answer: 72 square feet

Answer:

72 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of each side we have to cube root the volume

∛216 = 6

We only have to find the areas for two faces (the top and bottom)

6 x 6 = 36 = area for one face

36 x 2 = 72 = area for two faces

square inches
NOTE: Figures are NOT to scale.

Answers

Answer:

7π + 7π + 196 ( could also be 14π + 196)

Step-by-step explanation:

14 is the length of the square. However it is also the diameter of the circle.

If you do diameter x π you will get the circumfrance. Which in this case is 14π. If your trying to find half of the circumfrance you would do 14π ÷ 2 which is 7π.

After finding 7π for one half a circle you do the same for the other and also get 7π

After finding the 2 half circles find the square which is 14 x 14 = 196

196 + 7π + 7π if you don't want bother pi's there it could also be seen as 196+ 14 π

Use the graph below to describe the linearization of the data. How would you expect the linearization to change if the data were to extend beyond age 20?

Answers

Answer:

It is expected that linearization beyond age 20 will be use a function whose slope is monotonously decreasing.

Step-by-step explanation:

The linearization of the data by first order polynomials may be reasonable for the set of values of age between ages from 5 to 15 years, but it is inadequate beyond, since the fourth point, located at [tex](x,y) = (20, 5.5)[/tex], in growing at a lower slope. It is expected that function will be monotonously decreasing and we need to use models alternative to first order polynomials as either second order polynomic models or exponential models.

HURRY!!!!! HELP PLEASE!!!! NO SPAM!!!!!!!!!There are two identical oil tanks. The level of oil in Tank A is 6 ft and is drained at the rate of 0.5 ft/min. Tank B contains 10 ft of oil and is drained at the rate of 1 ft/min. After how many minutes will the level of oil in the two tanks be the same?

Answers

Answer:

8 munutes

Step-by-step explanation:

let :

x is the final level for both tanks (in ft) and

t is the time (in minutes)

the equation :

x = 6 - 0.5 t (eq.1)

x = 10 - 1t (eq.2)

eq. 1 = eq. 2

=>

6-0.5t = 10-1t

1t - 0.5t = 10-6

0.5t = 4

t = 4/0.5 = 8

t = 8 minutes

Answer:               8 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Write an equation for the level of oil in each tank.

Let t = the number of minutes.

Tank A: y = 6 − 0.5t

Tank B: y = 10 − 1t

Solve the system by using a table of values

When t = 8 minutes, the level in both tanks will be at 2 feet.

Answers

Answer: Rational

This is because the number is in the form P/Q where P and Q are integers

We have P = -13 and Q = 12.

You can think of "rational" as in "ratio" which is very closely tied to fractions. Any rational number is a fraction of two integers. The denominator can never be zero.

Answer:

Rational

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number is any integer, fraction, terminating decimal, or repeating decimal.

Decimal form: − 1.08 3

3 repeats itself, so it's rational.

Javier works at a print shop. He starts printing at 8:00 a.m. The number of printed brochures is a linear function of the number of minutes since Javier started printing. By 8:50 a.m. he had printed 240 brochures, and by 9:00 a.m. he had printed 288. Write an equation in the form y = mx + b that represents the number of brochures, y, that were printed after x minutes.

Answers

Answer:

y = 4.8(x) + 0

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, Javier managed to print 240 brochures in 50minutes from 8:00 to 8:50. If we divide these values we see that he printed 4.8 brochures per minute. The same result is given for the 10 minutes from 8:50 to 9:00 where he printed 48 brochures. Therefore, we can get the following linear formula from these values.

y = 4.8(x) + 0

In this case, b would equal 0 because Javier is starting from 0 brochures made when he gets to work at 8:00 a.m

PLS HELP

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is classic right triangle trig. If you're solving for x, which you are, you have to consider how the given sides relate to that angle. The side with a length of 50 is opposite the angle x, while the side of length 36 is adjacent to angle x. The trig ratio that utilizes the sides opposite and adjacent is tangent; HOWEVER, we are looking for a missing angle. Finding missing angles on your calculator requires the 2nd button. To find the missing angle x, you are looking for the angle that has a tangent ratio of 50 over 36 (opposite over adjacent...Toa in SohCahToa). Hit the 2nd button on your calculator and then the tangent button (in degree mode, not radian mode) and you will see this on your screen:

[tex]tan^{-1}([/tex]

After the parenthesis, enter the fraction and then hit the enter button to get the angle measure in degrees:

[tex]tan^{-1}(\frac{50}{36})=54.2[/tex] degrees.

It's very important that you learn how to use your calculator to find the trig identities that give you the ratio in decimal form and how to find the missing angles. Missing angles always use the 2nd button along with whatever trig identity you are using.

Linear Equation, y = mx+b

Exponential Equation, y = a(b)^x

PLEASE ANSWER IT I HAVE AN IMAGE ATTACHED IF NEEDED !!!!

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: Linear Equation.

One of the points is (0,15). This means 0,15 is the y intercept so b=15.

We can find the slope

[tex] \frac{5 - 15}{1 - 0 } = \frac{ - 10}{1} = - 10[/tex]

So our equation is

[tex]y = - 10x + 15[/tex]

Part B: Exponential Equation

We know that

[tex]15 = a \times b {}^{0} [/tex]

B to the zero power is 1 so

[tex]15 = a[/tex]

This means a =15. Now let find b.

[tex]5 = 15 \times b {}^{1} [/tex]

[tex] \frac{1}{3} = b[/tex]

So the equation is

[tex]y = 15( \frac{1}{3} ) {}^{x} [/tex]
