Find the coefficient of x^5y^8 in (x+y)^13

recall that the exponent for the first term will be starting at 13, and descending by one on every expanded term, in the binomial theorem.

so, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5 <---- x⁵ will then be in the 9th term

now, using the "combination" formula to get the coefficient of the 9th term.

k = 8 <--- the 9th term

n = 13 <--- highest exponent

10.416 m/s

step-by-step explantion:

distance=100m

time= 9.6s

average speed=100/9.6

=10.416 m/s

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
