Find the first 4 terms in the expansion of ( 1 + x 2 ) 8. use your answer to find the value of ( 1.01 ) 8

(1+x^2)^8

=(1+8x^2+8*7/(1*2)x^4+8*7*6/(1*2*3)x^6+8*7*6*5/(1*2*3*4)x^8+)

=1+8x^2+28x^4+56x^6+70x^8+)

For x<1, higher power terms diminish in value, hence we can approximate powers of numbers.

1.01=(1+0.1^2) => x=0.1 in the above expansion

(1.01)^8

=1+8(0.1^2)+28(0.1^4)+56(0.1^6) [ limited to four terms, as requested]

=1+0.08+0.0028+0.000056 (+0.00000070)

=1.082856 (approximately)

i think it is 18

step-by-step explanation:

answer: the resulting cross section is a rectangle. solution: a plane parallel to the base of a triangular prism will intersect a cross section that is the same shape as its bases. so the cross section is a triangle.
