Expand the following using either the binomial theorem or pascal’s triangle.
(x - 5)5

Pakal triangle is hard to do with long things, but it is easy up to like 5 degree
we look at the row for 5th degree (6th row)
the sequence is
1,5,10,10,5,1
that is the coeficients

for (a+b)^5 that is
1a^5b^0+5a^4b^1+10a^3b^2+10a^2b^3+5a^1b^4+1a^0b^5
see the exponents each time add to 5

so
1x^5(-5)^0+5x^4(-5)^1+10x^3(-5)^2+10x^2(-5)^3+5x^1(-5)^4+1x^0(-5)^5=
x^5-25x^4+250x^3-1250

9.8? i'm not really sure

a. geometricb. g[h] = (3/4)·g[h-1]; g[1] = 384c. g[h] = 384·(3/4)^(h-1)d. g[12] ≈ 16.2183 gallonse. g[12] ≈ 64.8732 quarts

step-by-step explanation:

part a. the differences are decreasing, so we know the sequence is not arithmetic. the ratios are constant (=3/4), so we know the sequence is geometric.

part b. from part a, we know the common ratio is 3/4, so each term is 3/4 of the one before. the initial term is the number of gallons at h=1.

g[h] = (3/4)·g[h-1]

g[1] = 384 . . . . initial value required for a recursive definition

part c. the general formula for a geometric sequence is

a[n] = a[1]·r^(n-1)

we have a[1] = 384, r = 3/4, and the term number given by h. the formula that follows is

g[h] = 384·(3/4)^(h-1)

part d. filling in the value and doing the arithmetic, we have

g[12] = 384·(3/4)^11 ≈ 384·0.042235136 ≈ 16.2183 . . gallons

part e. each gallon is 4 quarts, so

16.2183 gal × 4 qt/gal = 64.8732 qt
