Answer 2

Expansion of ( 4- 2z)³ using binomial expansion is equals to

64 - 96z + 48z² - 8z³.

What is binomial theorem?

" Binomial theorem is a way of expanding a binomial expression with exponent n, where n is any positive integer."

Formula used

Binomial Expansion

(a - b) ⁿ = ⁿC₀ aⁿb⁰+  ⁿC₁ aⁿ⁻¹ (-b)¹ +  ⁿC₂ aⁿ⁻² + ....... + (-1)ⁿ ⁿCₙ a° bⁿ

According to the question,

Given,

(4 -2z)³

a = 4

b = 2z

Substitute the value in the formula of binomial expansion we have,

= ³C₀ (4)³ (-2z)⁰ +³C₁ (4)² (-2z)¹ +³C₂ (4)¹ (-2z)² + ³C₃ (4)⁰ (-2z)³

=  (4)³ - 3 (4)² (2z) + 3 (4) (2z)² -(2z)³

= 64 -96z +48z² -8z³

Hence, expansion of ( 4- 2z)³ using binomial expansion is equals to

64 - 96z + 48z² - 8z³.

Find the missing term in the following sequence ? 1, 4, 11, 26, 57, 120, ______

Answers

Answer:

247

Step-by-step explanation:

1,4,11,26,57,120. see the pattern that emerges from the series:

4–1 = 3; 3–1 = 2 = 2^1

11–4 = 7; 7 - 3 = 4 = 2^2

26 - 11 = 15; 15 - 7 = 8 = 2^3

57 - 26 = 31; 31 - 15 = 16 = 2^4

120 - 57 = 63; 63 - 31 = 32 = 2^5

so the next number should be 64+63 = 127+120 = 247.

check: 247–120 = 127; 127–63 = 64 = 2^6. correct.

so the next number is 247. 2^n+(n-1)

Given sequence;

1, 4, 11, 26, 57, 120, _

The missing term  =?

Solution;

We need to find the relationship between each term and then we can find the missing term;

      1, 4, 11, 26, 57, 120, _ ;

 let us start with the first two;

       3 x 2 + 1  = 7 + 4  = 11

       7 x 2 + 1  =  15 + 11 = 26

       15 x 2 + 1 = 31 + 26 = 57

       31 x 2 + 1 = 63 + 57 = 120

       63 x 2 + 1 = 127  + 120 = 247

   

        We see this pattern and can conclude that the missing term is 247

In a class of 40 students, 19 play tennis, 20 play netball and 8 play both of these sports. A student is randomly chosen from the class. Determine the probability that the student plays tennis.

Answers

Answer:

19/40 OR 0.475 OR 47.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of an event is calculated by dividing the total number of 'favorable outcomes' by the number of total outcomes. Here, the number of 'favorable outcomes' is the number of students who play tennis, so 19. The total number of outcomes is 40 as there are 40 students. Therefore the probability a student plays tennis is 19/40, or 0.475 or 47.5%.

Answer: Y>5/6

Step-by-step explanation: I had this on khan Academy and got this right

The solution to the inequality 5y + 3 > -7y + 13 is y > 5/6.

What is the solution to the inequality?

Given the inequality in the question:

5y + 3 > -7y + 13

To solve the inequality 5y + 3 > -7y + 13, combine like terms on both sides and isolate the variable term:

5y + 3 > -7y + 13

Add 7y to both sides of the inequality:

5y + 7y + 3 > -7y + 7y + 13

5y + 7y + 3 > 13

12y + 3 >  13

Next, subtract 3 from both sides of the inequality:

12y + 3 - 3 > 13 - 3

12y > 10

Isolate variable y by dividing both sides by 12:

y > 10/12

Simplifying, we get:

y > 5/6

Therefore, the solution is y > 5/6.

Kelly is recording the temperature of a cooling chemical. Using the table, determine the initial
temperature of the chemical when she poured into the beaker.

Answers

Answer:

Initial temperature of the chemical = 97°

Step-by-step explanation:

Time             Temperature              Difference

4                          89.5                               -

10                        78.25              78.25 - 89.5 = -11.25

16                        67.00              67 - 78.25 = -11.25      

There is a common difference of -11.25 in each successive term.

Therefore, cooling of a chemical represents a linear function.

Let the function representing temperature is,

f(t) = at + b

Where 'a' = rate of change in temperature

b = initial temperature

t = time

Now 'a' = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{78.25-89.5}{10-4}[/tex]

        a = -1.875

f(t) = -1.875t + b

For t = 4 and f(t) = 89.50,

89.50 = -1.875(4) + b

b = 97

Therefore, function representing the cooling of chemical is,

f(t) = -1.875t + 97

And the initial temperature of the chemical was 97° when it was poured into the beaker.

Answers

Answer: x=35

Step-by-step explanation: (x+6)(x+5)+(x+6)(x-2) = (x+6) X (2x+3)= 35

((x + 6) • (x + 5)) +  (x + 6) • (x - 2)

Pull out     x+6  

After pulling out, we are left with :

     (x+6) • ( 1  *  (x+5) - (-1)  *  (x-2) ))

  (x + 6) • (2x + 3)=35

This is 2x²+15x+18 expression in the form  ax²+bx+c.

What is expression?

Expressions is the defined as mathematical statements that have a minimum of two terms containing variables or numbers.

(x+6)(x+5)+(x+6)(x-2)

x²+5x+6x+30+x²-2x+6x-12

2x²+15x+18

Comparing expression to the form ax²+bx+c,

So a = 2, b = 15, and c = 18

Hence, this is 2x²+15x+18 expression in the form  ax²+bx+c.

A circle is translated 4 units to the right and then reflected over the x-axis. Complete the statement so that it will always be true of the circle at the new location.

Answers

Answer:

The statement is now presented as:

[tex]\exists\, (h,k)\in \mathbb{R}^{2} /f: (x-h^{2})+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}\implies f': [x-(h+4)]^{2}+[y-(-k)]^{2} = r^{2}[/tex]

In other words, this mathematical statement can be translated as:

There is a point (h, k) in the set of real ordered pairs so that a circumference centered at (h,k) and with a radius r implies a equivalent circumference centered at (h+4,-k) and with a radius r.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]C = (h,k)[/tex] the coordinates of the center of the circle, which must be transformed into [tex]C'=(h', k')[/tex] by operations of translation and reflection. From Analytical Geometry we understand that circles are represented by the following equation:

[tex](x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2} = r^{2}[/tex]

Where [tex]r[/tex] is the radius of the circle, which remains unchanged in every operation.

Now we proceed to describe the series of operations:

1) Center of the circle is translated 4 units to the right (+x direction):

[tex]C''(x,y) = C(x, y) + U(x,y)[/tex] (Eq. 1)

Where [tex]U(x,y)[/tex] is the translation vector, dimensionless.

If we know that [tex]C(x, y) = (h,k)[/tex] and [tex]U(x,y) = (4, 0)[/tex], then:

[tex]C''(x,y) = (h,k)+(4,0)[/tex]

[tex]C''(x,y) =(h+4,k)[/tex]

2) Reflection over the x-axis:

[tex]C'(x,y) = O(x,y) - [C''(x,y)-O(x,y)][/tex] (Eq. 2)

Where [tex]O(x,y)[/tex] is the reflection point, dimensionless.

If we know that [tex]O(x,y) = (h+4,0)[/tex] and [tex]C''(x,y) =(h+4,k)[/tex], the new point is:

[tex]C'(x,y) = (h+4,0)-[(h+4,k)-(h+4,0)][/tex]

[tex]C'(x,y) = (h+4, 0)-(0,k)[/tex]

[tex]C'(x,y) = (h+4, -k)[/tex]

And thus, [tex]h' = h+4[/tex] and [tex]k' = -k[/tex]. The statement is now presented as:

[tex]\exists\, (h,k)\in \mathbb{R}^{2} /f: (x-h^{2})+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}\implies f': [x-(h+4)]^{2}+[y-(-k)]^{2} = r^{2}[/tex]

In other words, this mathematical statement can be translated as:

There is a point (h, k) in the set of real ordered pairs so that a circumference centered at (h,k) and with a radius r implies a equivalent circumference centered at (h+4,-k) and with a radius r.

Answer:

the same area as

Step-by-step explanation:

When a circle is translated and reflected, the center of the circle will change; however, its area, circumference, radius and diameter remain the same.

This is so because, translation and reflection only affect the positioning of the circle not the size.

Considering the above analysis, we can conclude that option d answers the question correctly.

Jada has 5 bottles that each contain 1/2 liter of water. How many liters of water is that in total? Noah has 5 meters of rope. How many pieces of rope of length 1/2 meter can he cut from it? Lin's goal is to run 5 miles. She ran 1/2 mile. What fraction of her goal is that?

Answers

Answer:

Elena lives 2.5 miles away from school.The total liters of water is 2.5 litersHe can cut 10 pieces of rope of length 1/2 meterThe fraction of her goal she ran is 1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Diego lives 5 miles from school, and Elena lives 1/2 as far away as Diego

Therefore, Elena lives 1/2 of 5 miles away from school.

1/2 of 5 miles = 2.5 miles

Hence, Elena lives 2.5 miles away from school.

Jada has 5 bottles that each contain 1/2 liter of water.

Since each bottle contain 1/2 liter of water, then

The total liters of water is (1/2 × 5) liters

1/2 × 5 = 2.5 liters

Hence, the total liters of water is 2.5 liters

Noah has 5 meters of rope

To determine how many pieces of rope of length 1/2 meter he can cut,

Number of pieces of rope of length 1/2 meter that can be cut is 5 meter ÷ 1/2 meter

5 meter ÷ 1/2 meter = 10

Hence, he can cut 10 pieces of rope of length 1/2 meter.

Lin's goal is to run 5 miles. She ran 1/2 mile.

To determine what fraction of her goal that is,

First, she ran 1/2 mile out of 5 miles.

The fraction of her goal she ran is 1/2 mile ÷ 5 miles

1/2 mile ÷ 5 miles = 1/10

Hence, the fraction of her goal she ran is 1/10.

Using the segment addition postulate, which is true? What is the measure of AngleDCF? Three lines extend from point C. The space between line C D and C E is 75 degrees. The space between lines C E and C F is 54 degrees. The measure of AngleDCF is degrees.

Answers

Answer:

129

Step-by-step explanation:

If three lines CD, CE and CF extend from point C, then the following addition postulate is true;

<DCE + <ECF = <DCF

If the space between line C D and C E is 75 degrees, then <DCE =  75

If the space between lines C E and C F is 54, then <ECF = 54.

Substitute the given values into the expression above will  give;

<DCF =<DCE + <ECF

<DCF  = 75+54

<DCF  = 129

Hence the measure of <DCF  is 129°
