Example Question #2 :How To Find The Value Of The Coefficient

Give the coefficient of $x^{2}$ in the product

$\left ( 2x + \frac{1}{3}\right ) \left ( x- \frac{1}{6}\right ) \left ( x+ \frac{1}{4}\right )$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{1}{4}$

$\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{11}{12}$

$\frac{7}{6}$

$\frac{1}{6}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{1}{2}$

解释:

While this problem can be answered by multiplying the three binomials, it is not necessary. There are three ways to multiply one term from each binomial such that twoterms and one constant are multiplied; find the three products and add them, as follows:

$\left ( \underline{2x }+ \frac{1}{3}\right ) \left ( \underline{x}- \frac{1}{6}\right ) \left ( x\underline{+ \frac{1}{4}}\right )$

$2x \cdot x \cdot \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{2}x^{2}$

$\left ( \underline{2x }+ \frac{1}{3}\right ) \left ( x \underline{- \frac{1}{6}}\right ) \left ( \underline{x}+ \frac{1}{4}\right )$

$2x \cdot \left (- \frac{1}{6} \right ) \cdot x = - \frac{1}{3}x^{2}$

$\left ( 2x\underline{ + \frac{1}{3}}\right ) \left ( \underline{x}- \frac{1}{6}\right ) \left ( \underline{x}+ \frac{1}{4}\right )$

$\frac{1}{3} \cdot x \cdot x= \frac{1}{3}x^{2}$

Add: $\frac{1}{2}x^{2} +\left ( - \frac{1}{3}x^{2} \right ) + \frac{1}{3}x^{2} = \frac{1}{2}x^{2}$

The correct response is $\frac{1}{2}$ .

Example Question #3 :How To Find The Value Of The Coefficient

Give the coefficient of $x^{5}$ in the binomial expansion of $\left ( 2x+ 0.5\right )^{8}$ .

Possible Answers:

224

26,880

1,680

Correct answer:

224

解释:

If the expression $\left ( A x + B\right )^{n}$ is expanded, then by the binomial theorem, the $x^{k}$ term is

$C(n, k) \cdot\left ( Ax \right )^{k} \cdot B ^{n - k}$

$= C(n, k) \cdot A ^{k} \cdot B ^{n - k} \cdot x^{k}$

or, equivalently, the coefficient of $x^{k}$ is

$C(n, k) \cdot A ^{k} \cdot B ^{n - k}$

Therefore, the $x^{5}$ coefficient can be determined by setting

A = 2, B =0.5, k=5, n = 8 :

$C(8,5) \cdot 2^{5} \cdot 0.5 ^{8-5}$

$=C(8,5) \cdot 2^{5} \cdot 0.5 ^{3}$

$= 56\cdot 32 \cdot 0.125$

Correct answer:

解释:

If the expression $\left ( A x + B\right )^{n}$ is expanded, then by the binomial theorem, the $x^{k}$ term is

$C(n, k) \cdot\left ( Ax \right )^{k} \cdot B ^{n - k}$

$= C(n, k) \cdot A ^{k} \cdot B ^{n - k} \cdot x^{k}$

or, equivalently, the coefficient of $x^{k}$ is

$C(n, k) \cdot A ^{k} \cdot B ^{n - k}$

Therefore, the $x^{4}$ coefficient can be determined by setting

$A = 6, B = \frac{1}{6}, n = 7, k= 4$ :

$C(7,4) \cdot 6 ^{4} \cdot\left ( \frac{1}{6} \right ) ^{7-4}$

$=C(7,4) \cdot 6 ^{4} \cdot\left ( \frac{1}{6} \right ) ^{3}$

$=35 \cdot 1,296 \cdot \frac{1}{216}$

Correct answer:

0.168

$C(n, k) \cdot\left ( Ax \right )^{k} \cdot B ^{n - k}$

or, equivalently, the coefficient of $x^{k}$ is

$C(n, k) \cdot A ^{k} \cdot B ^{n - k}$

Therefore, the $x^{5}$ coefficient can be determined by setting

A = 0.2, B =5, k=5, n = 7

$C(7,5) \cdot 0.2^{5} \cdot 5 ^{7 - 5}$

$= C(7,5) \cdot 0.2 ^{5} \cdot 5 ^{2}$

$= 21\cdot 0.00032 \cdot 25$

= 0.168

Example Question #6 :How To Find The Value Of The Coefficient

Give the coefficient of $x^{2}$ in the product

$\left (3x- 7 \right ) \left ( 4x+3\right )\left ( 2x-7\right )$ .

Possible Answers:

158

Correct answer:

解释:

$\left (\underline{3x}- 7 \right ) \left ( \underline{4x}+3\right )\left ( 2x\underline{-7}\right )$

$3x \cdot 4x \cdot (-7) = -84x^{2}$

$\left (\underline{3x}- 7 \right ) \left ( 4x\underline{+3}\right )\left ( \underline{2x}-7\right )$

$3x \cdot 3 \cdot 2x = 18x^{2}$

$\left (3x\underline{- 7} \right ) \left ( \underline{4x}+3\right )\left ( \underline{2x}-7\right )$

$-7 \cdot 4x \cdot 2x = -56x^{2}$

Add: $-84x^{2} + 18x^{2} - 56x^{2} = -122x^{2}$

The correct response is -122.

Example Question #7 :How To Find The Value Of The Coefficient

What is the value of the coefficient of? $\frac{3x^2-9x}{x}-4x$

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

解释:

In order to determine the coefficient, we will need to fully simplify this expression.

The numerator of the first term shares anvariable, which can be divided.

$\frac{3x^2-9x}{x} = \frac{x(3x-9)}{x} = 3x-9$

Subtract this expression with.

3x-9-4x = -x-9

The coefficient is the number in front of. The coefficient is.

Example Question #1 :How To Find The Solution To A Binomial Problem

Solve for: (x+5)+(3x+15)=0

Possible Answers:

$\frac{20}{3}$

Correct answer:

解释:

First, rearrange the equation so that "like terms" are grouped together, like this: 1x+3x+5+15 .

Second, combine "like" terms with the appropriate mathematical function (i.e., addition, subtraction, etc.), so in this problem, you'll be left with 4x+20 .

Third, set the entire equation equal toand solve for:

4x+20=0

4x=-20

$\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{-20}{4}$

x=-5

Example Question #3 :How To Find The Solution To A Binomial Problem

4x-8y=32

Solve forin terms of.

Possible Answers:

x = 8 + 2y

y=0.5x-4

y=4-0.5x

x=8-2y

Correct answer:

x = 8 + 2y

解释:

First, add 8y to both sides of the equation, cancelling out -8y and isolating x to a value in terms of y:

4x - 8y = 32

+8y +8y

4x = 32 + 8y

Then divide both sides of the equation by 4, providing the x-value in terms of y:

x = 8 + 2y
