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]

The area of a rectangle, A = l • w is represented by the expression 24x^6y^15. Which could be the dimensions of the rectangle?

Answers

After calculating the value, l & w could be [tex]2x^{5} y^{8}[/tex] & [tex]12x^{} y^{7}[/tex].

Calculation:

The inquiry relates to the laws of indices

where, [tex]x^{a} * x^{b}=x^{a+b}[/tex]

Provided the query, A= [tex]24x^{6}y^{15}[/tex]

[tex]2* 12[/tex] might be used to calculate the length and width of 24.

Hence,

[tex]x^{6}=x^{5} * x^{1} =x^{5+1}[/tex]

& [tex]y^{15}= y^{8} * y^{7} =y^{8+7}[/tex]

So, it can be written as,

A=l * w

⇒ [tex]24x^{6}y^{15}[/tex] = [tex]2x^{5}y^{8}[/tex] * [tex]12xy^{7}[/tex]

Therefore, it is concluded that the dimensions of the rectangle could be [tex]2x^{5} y^{8}[/tex] & [tex]12x^{} y^{7}[/tex].

If 5 men or 10 women can complete any work in 50 days. Than in how many days 8 men and 4 women complete that whole work?​

Answers

Firstly, let’s assume the the whole capacity the work requires is 1.

Then, let’s see how 1 man can do in 50 days: 1/5.

Further, let’s see how 1 man can do in 1 day : 1/(5×50) = 1/250.

Similarly, let’s see how 1 woman can do in 1 day: 1/(10×50) = 1/500.

Now, we have 8 men, and they can do 8*1/250 in 1 day, which is 4/125.

Besides, we have 4 women, and they can do 4×1/500 in 1 day, which is 1/125.

Therefore, all people we have can do 4/125 + 1/125 of the work in 1 day, which is 1/25.

As a result, the work takes 1/(1/25)= 25 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the least common multiple of 6 and 9:

Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, ......

Multiples of 9: 9, 18, 27, ......

We see that 18 is the least common multiple of 6 and 9.

Additional multiples of 18 are 36 and 54.

If an integer is divisible by 6 and by 9 , then the integer must be divisible by 54.

How to estimate an integer which is divisible by 6 and by 9?

Consider the statement as a contradiction.

The assertion exists that any natural number divisible by 6 and 9 exists also divisible by 54.

Let us consider divisible to mean that the outcome of the division of the number and 54 provides another natural number. We can take the prime factors of 6 and 9 which are {2,3} and {3,3}. We can consider that the product [tex]$2 \times 3 \times 3=18$[/tex] exists a number that exists divisible by 6 and 9 but exists not divisible by 54. Another instance exists the product of [tex]$2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3=36$[/tex] which exists also not divisible by 54.

Therefore, the correct answer is option e) 54.

Laurel has an area in her yard that is in the shape of a parallelogram. It has a base of 30 feet and a height of 22 feet. She wants to cover this area with wildflower seeds. She finds out that 1 ounce of seeds covers 125 square feet of ground. How many ounces of seeds does she need to cover this area?

Answers

Answer:

Laurel has to cover this area with 2.64 ounces of seeds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Base of Parallelogram = 30ft

Height of Parallelogram = 22ft

Area of Parallelogram = 1/2*base*height

Therefore, Area of Parallelogram =  1/2*30*22

                                                        = 330sq. ft

Given

One ounce of seed covers 125 sq. ft

Hence, No. of ounces needed to cover 330 sq. ft= 330/125

The probability of a drawing a blue marble from a box of 18 marbles is 2/3. How many green marbles should be added to the box in order to reduce the probability to 1/2?

Answers

Answer:

6 green marbles should be added.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the probability of drawing a blue marble from 18 marbles is 2/3 then there are 12 blue marbles because 18 times 2/3 is 12. This means that to reduce this probability to 1/2 you need to add 6 more marbles to the total amount to get it to 24. Now the probability of getting a blue marble is 12/24 which is 1/2.

The volume of the prism is 234 cubic units. What is the height of the prism?

3 units
4 units
6 units
8 units

Answers

Answer:

the answer is 4 units im pretty sure

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the prism is 6 units.

The correct option is C.

What is a prism?

A prism is a polyhedron in three dimensions with two identical ends.

To find the height of the prism, we need to use the formula for the volume of a prism, which is:

Volume = Base area x Height

Since the prism has two congruent hexagonal bases, we can find the base area by adding the areas of the two congruent isosceles trapezoids.

The area of an isosceles trapezoid is given by the formula:

Area = ((b1 + b2) / 2) x h

where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the two parallel bases, and h is the height of the trapezoid.

In this case, the two parallel bases have lengths of 5 and 8, and the height of each trapezoid is 3, so the area of one trapezoid is:

Area = ((5 + 8) / 2) x 3 = 19.5 square units

The base area of the prism is then:

Base area = 2 x 19.5 = 39 square units

We are given that the volume of the prism is 234 cubic units, so we can use the formula for the volume of a prism to find the height:

Volume = Base area x Height

234 = 39 x Height

Height = 6 units

Therefore, the height of the prism is 6 units.
