Example Question #42 : Simplifying Algebraic Expressions
If you were to write in expanded form in descending order of degree, what would the third term be?
By the Binomial Theorem, if you expand , writing the result in standard form, the
term (with the terms being numbered from 0 to
) is
Set ,
,
, and
(again, the terms are numbered 0 through
, so the third term is numbered 2) to get
Example Question #51 : Simplifying Algebraic Expressions
Assume that .
Which of the following expressions is equal to the following expression?
Example Question #1 : Linear Equations, One Unknown
For what value of would the following equation have no solution?
The equation must always have at least one solution regardless of the value of .
Simplify both sides of the equation as much as possible, and solve for in the equation in terms of
:
has exactly one solution unless the denominator is 0 - that is,
. We make sure that this value renders no solution by substituting:
The equation has no solution, and is the correct answer.
