Question

heyy i need help with something please!

Answer 1

what do you need help with?

Answer 2

yeah fire away missy

Answer 3

thank you :) ..in binomial expansion..what's the difference between doing it in ascending powers of x and descending powers of x?
:(

Answer 4

x,x^2,x^3,x^4,.... ascending

Answer 5

Ascending means going up in value from lowest to highest, and descending is the opposite.

Answer 6

cute pic :)

Answer 7

the order of the coefficients is reversed

Answer 8

id say hot..dont mind betts

Answer 9

i got my pic off ebay lol

Answer 10

thanks :) lol

Answer 11

My picture is from a large musical production I was in :) lead male role. audience of 700!

Answer 12

my pic was me waking up to the evil cat laying on me :)

Answer 13

you got good answers? yes?

Answer 14

so that's ascending

Answer 15

yes thank you!

Answer 16

yes the example he game is ascending.

Answer 17

*gave

Answer 18

ascending is to get up, to rise, to fill the balloon and float away into the trees and get stuck becasue you forgot to reel in the tag lines lol

Answer 19

descending is what happens right after that when you jump out and land on the ground

Answer 20

and descending would mean the order of coefficients reversed or..the powers go from higest to lowest? :S

Answer 21

always ready to help gorgeousness..it would mean both i think

Answer 22

engorgeousness too ;)

Answer 23

yes that is correct bettts

Answer 24

..... that didnt sound right lol

Answer 25

it means the coeeficient of x^n is reversed

Answer 26

thank you so much!

Answer 27

all of youu :)

Answer 28

it was thinking of a large pepperoni pizza when i made that comment, dont mind the man behind the curtain :)

Answer 29

yeah ur always welcome...

Answer 33

do y'all mind me giving the question? it's okay you don't have to do it for me :( lol

Answer 34

no we dont

Answer 35

find the first 3 terms in the expansionn of (2x-3/x)^5 in descending powers of x

Answer 36

the question eh....... sounds like a trap :)

Answer 37

is that (-3/x)? or (2x-3)/x ??

Answer 38

1,5,10,10,5,1..... whichever way we go

Answer 39

multiply that by the coefficients of 2 and 3

Answer 40

\[(\frac{2x-3}{x})^5? or (2x-\frac{3}{x})^5\]

Answer 41

gotta know wha tthe question is b4 we can answer it appropriately

Answer 42

does that make sense to you? in other words, the way you wrote the problem is confusing and we need you to clear it up

Answer 43

[2-(3/x)]^5 would be

+(243/x^5)+(810/x^4) +(1080/x^3)

Answer 44

make that:

-(243/x^5)+(810/x^4) -(1080/x^3)

Answer 45

i forgot to factor the negative lol

Answer 46

yeah hes right

Answer 47

the other way would be....

(2x -(3/x))^5

(-3/x)^5 +5(2x)(-3/x)^4 +10(-3/x)^3 (2x)^4

(-240/x) +(810/x^3) - (4320x)

Answer 48

maybe?
