Step-by-step answer:
We are looking at the coefficient of the 22nd term of (x+y)^25.
Following the sequence, first term is x^0y^25, second term is x^1y^24, third term is x^2y^23...and so on, 22nd term is x^21y^4.
The twenty-second term of (x+y)^25 is given by the binomial theorem as
( 25!/(21!4!) ) x^21*y^4
=25*24*23*22/4! x^21y^4
= 12650 x^21 y^4
The coefficient required is therefore 12650, for a binomial with unit valued coefficients.
For other binomials, substitute the values for x and y and expand accordingly.
Question would have been more clearly stated if the actual binomial was given, as commented above.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Astronomers were trying to find the weight of six planets - Mars, Venus, Pluto, Jupiter, Mercury and Saturn. The number of planets lighter than Mars was equal to the number of planets heavier than Venus. Saturn was heavier than Mars and Mercury was heavier than Pluto. Venus was lighter than Mars. Saturn was not the heaviest planet.
I think he is not correct because there is negative number so it can't be greater than one
Answer:
a. -5
b.-5
c.-5
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the average rate of change of a function , we divide the change in the output value by the change in the input value.
Generally, the average rate of change (ARC) on an ecuatios between two points (x1,f(x1)) and (x2,f(x2)) is
- ARC = [f(x2)-f(x1)]/ (x2-x1)
<em>In case a)</em>
f(-1)= -5*(-1)-8=5-8= -3 f(3)= -5*3-8= -23
Then ARC= (-23-(-3))/(3-(-1))=-20/4=-5
<em>In case b)</em>
f(a)= (-5a-8)
f(b)= (-5b-8)
Then ARC= [(-5b-8)-(-5a-8)]/(b-a)= (-5b+5a)/(b-a)= -5(b-a)/(b-a)= -5
<em>In case c)</em>
f(x)= -5x-8
f(x+h)= -5(x+h)-8= -5x-5h-8
then ARC= [(-5x-5h-8)-(-5x-8)]/(x+h-x) =-5h/h= -5
Answer: C. Definition of an Altitude
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: In triangle MNO shown below, segment NP is an altitude from the right angle.
Let ∠MNP=x
Then ∠PNO=90°-x
Therefore in triangle MNO,
∠MPN=∠NPO =90° [by definition of Altitude]
[Definition of altitude : A line which passes through a vertex of a triangle, and joins the opposite side forming right angles. ]
Now using angle sum property in ΔMNP
∠MNP+∠MPN+∠PMN=180°
⇒x+90°+∠PMN=180°
⇒∠PMN=180°-90°-x
⇒∠PMN=90°-x
Now, in ΔMNO and ΔPNO
∠PMN=∠PNO=90°-x
and ∠MPN=∠NPO =90° [by definition of altitude]
Therefore by AA similarity postulate, we have
ΔMNO ≈ ΔPNO
