- Find the coefficient of X^35 in the generating function (x^4+x^5+x^6+x^7+x^8)^5 (Show work and leave final answer in C(n,r) form.)arrow_forwardAccording to a study, each additional year of education increases one's income by 18%. Therefore, with x extra years of education, your income will be multiplied by a factor of 1.18x. How many additional years of education are required to double your income? That is, find the x that satisfies 1.18x = 2. (Round your answer to one decimal place.) Yrs=arrow_forwardWhat is the end behavior for this fucntion... X^3-4x^2+7arrow_forward
- A museum contains a large pendulum. Due to air resistance and friction, each swing of the pendulum is a little shorter than the previous one. Suppose the first swing of the pendulum has a length of 25,000 mm and each return swing loses 4% of its length until eventually the pendulum comes to a complete stop. Answer parts A, B, C, and D and if necessary, round to the nearest tenth of a millimeter. A. Let 'n' be defined as the number of swings the pendulum travels. Define 'a1' and 'r' (these are used in the explicit formula.) Write a geometric sequence in summation (Sigma) notation to express the total distance that the pendulum will have traveled after 30 swings. Sigma notation will have a lower limit, an upper limit, and an explicit formula. Do not compute the sum. B. Use the summation formula to find the total distance the pendulum swings. C. Using information from part A, write a geometric series in summation (Sigma) notation to express the total distance that the pendulum will have…arrow_forwardFind the expression of 1/(2+5x)3 , magnitude of 5x/2 < 1, in ascending powers of x up to and including the term in x2 , giving each coefficient as a fraction in its lowest formarrow_forwardPlease show me the step-by-step solution.
