What is the fourth term in the expansion of $$(2x+y)^5$$?

","type_question":"QCM","explication":"

Use the binomial theorem. The general term is:

$$\\frac{5!}{r!(5-r)!}(2x)^{5-r}y^r.$$

The fourth term corresponds to $$r=3.$$

Substitute:

$$\\frac{5!}{3!2!}(2x)^2y^3.$$

Compute:

$$\\frac{5!}{3!2!}=10,$$

$$(2x)^2=4x^2.$$

So, the fourth term is:

$$10\\cdot4x^2y^3=40x^2y^3.$$

Simplify: $$\\ln\\left(\\sqrt[3]{e^3x^2}\\right)$$

","type_question":"QCM","explication":"

Rewrite the cube root as a power:

$$\\ln\\left((e^3x^2)^{1/3}\\right).$$

Distribute the exponent:

$$(e^3x^2)^{1/3}=e^{3/3}x^{2/3}=ex^{2/3}.$$

Now apply logarithm properties:

$$\\ln(ex^{2/3})=\\ln e+\\ln(x^{2/3}).$$

Simplify:

$$\\ln e=1,$$

$$\\ln(x^{2/3})=\\frac{2}{3}\\ln x.$$

Use the identity:

Then:

$$\\frac{\\cot^2 x}{1-\\csc x}=\\frac{\\csc^2 x-1}{1-\\csc x}.$$

Factor the numerator:

$$\\csc^2 x-1=(\\csc x-1)(\\csc x+1).$$

So:

$$\\frac{(\\csc x-1)(\\csc x+1)}{1-\\csc x}.$$

","type_question":"QCM","explication":"

The numerator and denominator have the same degree.

A farmer has $$800$$ meters of fencing to enclose a rectangular field. Express the area $$A$$ as a function of width $$x$$. What is the correct function and domain?

","type_question":"QCM","explication":"

Let the width be $$x$$ and the length be $$L$$.

Use the perimeter formula.

A function is odd if:
