Q & A

What is the number of terms in the binomial expansion of (x + 2)^4?

The binomial expansion of (x + 2)^4 contains 5 terms, as the number of terms in the expansion of (x + a)^n is always n + 1.

How do you calculate the distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

The distance between two points is calculated using the distance formula: d = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2).

What is the standard equation of a circle with center at the origin?

The standard equation of a circle with center at the origin is: x² + y² = r², where r is the radius.

What is the formula for the union of two sets in probability?

The formula for the union of two sets in probability is: P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B), where P(A ∩ B) is the probability of the intersection of A and B.

How do you simplify the trigonometric expression sin(45°)cos(30°) + cos(45°)sin(30°)?

The given expression can be simplified using the sine addition formula: sin(A + B) = sin(A)cos(B) + cos(A)sin(B). So, sin(45°)cos(30°) + cos(45°)sin(30°) equals sin(75°).

What is the value of sin(45°) and cos(30°)?

The value of sin(45°) is √2/2 and the value of cos(30°) is √3/2.

How do you calculate the probability P(A ∪ B) if P(A) = 0.5 and P(B) = 0.6?

To calculate P(A ∪ B), use the formula: P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B). If P(A ∩ B) is 0, then P(A ∪ B) = 0.5 + 0.6 - 0 = 1.1. However, probabilities cannot exceed 1, so the result would be 1.

What is the combination formula for selecting 3 cards from 13 cards in a deck?

The combination formula for selecting 3 cards from 13 is given by 13C3, which is calculated as 13! / (3!(13 - 3)!).

What is the value of sin(30°) and cos(45°)?

The value of sin(30°) is 1/2, and the value of cos(45°) is √2/2.

How do you simplify the expression 3x + x/2?

The expression 3x + x/2 can be simplified by finding a common denominator: 3x + x/2 = (6x/2) + (x/2) = 7x/2.
