Determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. $$\sum_{i=0}^{6}(-1)^{i}(i+1)^{2}=\sum_{i=1}^{7}(-1) j^{2}$$
Each exercise involves observing a pattern in the expanded form of the binomial expression \((a+b)^{n}\).$$\begin{array}{l}(a+b)^{1}=a+b \\\\(a+b)^{2}=a^{2}+2 a b+b^{2} \\\\(a+b)^{3}=a^{3}+3 a^{2} b+3 a b^{2}+b^{3} \\\\(a+b)^{4}=a^{4}+4 a^{3} b+6 a^{2} b^{2}+4 a b^{3}+b^{4} \\\\(a+b)^{5}=a^{5}+5 a^{4} b+10 a^{3} b^{2}+10 a^{2} b^{3}+5 a b^{4}+b^{5}\end{array}$$ Describe the pattern for the sum of the exponents on the variables in each term.
Determine whether each statement is true or false. If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. Use the Binomial Theorem to expand and then simplify the result: \(\left(x^{2}+x+1\right)^{3}\). [Hint: Write \(x^{2}+x+1\) as \(\left.x^{2}+(x+1) .\right]\)
$$\text { Solve: } \log \left(x^{2}-25\right)-\log (x+5)=3$$
If \(f(x)=x^{2}+2 x+3,\) find \(f(a+1)\) (Section \(8.1,\) Example 3 )
