Chapter 11: Problem 31

Write the first three terms in each binomial expansion, expressing the result in simplified form. $$ (x+2)^{8} $$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The first three terms of the binomial expansion are \( x^8, 16x^7, 112x^6 \)

Step by step solution

01

Applying the Binomial Theorem

We know from the binomial theorem that \((x+2)^{8}\) expanded is \( \binom{8}{0} x^8*2^0 + \binom{8}{1} x^7*2^1 + \binom{8}{2} x^6*2^2 +... \). But we only need to find the first three terms.
02

Calculating Binomial Coefficients

First, let's calculate binomial coefficients using combination formula. \( \binom{8}{0}=1 \), \( \binom{8}{1}=8 \) and \( \binom{8}{2}=28 \).
03

Evaluating the first three terms

Substituting the binomial coefficients into the binomial theorem, our first three terms are:- \( \binom{8}{0}*x^8*2^0 = 1*x^8*1 = x^8 \)- \( \binom{8}{1}*x^7*2^1 = 8*x^7*2 = 16x^7 \)- \( \binom{8}{2}*x^6*2^2 = 28*x^6*4 = 112x^6 \).

Explaining the Concepts Explain how to find or probabilities with events that are not mutually exclusive. Give an example.

Mega Millions is a multi-state lottery played in most U.S. states. As of this writing, the top cash prize was \(\$ 656\) million, going to three lucky winners in three states. Players pick five different numbers from 1 to 56 and one number from 1 to \(46 .\) Use this information to solve Exercises \(27-30 .\) Express all probabilities as fractions. A player wins a minimum award of \(\$ 10,000\) by correctly matching four numbers drawn from white balls ( 1 through 56 ) and matching the number on the gold Mega Bali (1 through 46 ). What is the probability of winning this consolation prize?

Here are two ways of investing \(\$ 30,000\) for 20 years. $$ \begin{array}{ccc} {\text { Lump-Sum Deposit }} & {\text { Rate }} & {\text { Time }} \\ {\$ 30,000} & {5 \% \text { compounded }} & {20 \text { years }} \\ {} & {\text { annually }} \end{array} $$ $$ \begin{array}{ll} {\text { Periodic Deposits }} & {\text { Rate } \quad \text { Time }} \\ {\$ 1500 \text { at the end }} & {5 \% \text { compounded } 20 \text { years }} \\ {\text { of each year }} & {\text { annually }} \end{array} $$ After 20 years, how much more will you have from the lump-sum investment than from the annuity?

You select a family with three children. If \(M\) represents a male child and \(F\) a female child, the sample space of equally likely outcomes is \(\\{M M M, M M F, M F M, M F F, F M M FMF, FFM, FFF\)} - Find the probability of selecting a family with $$\text{at least two female children.}$$
