Using the binomial theorem, find the coefficient of x^4*y^5 in (x-2y)^9.

The term containing x4y5 will be C(9, 5)x4(-2y)5 = (9!/(5!4!))x4(-2)5y5The coefficient of which will be 126-32=-4032

I already done this.


A is a function of P . It is known that A is the sum of two parts, one part varies as P and the other part varies as the square of P . When P = 24 , A = 36 and when P = 18 , A = 9. Express A in terms of P .


Why does sin^2(x)+cos^2(x)=1?


Demonstrate that (2^n)-1 is not a perfect square for any n>2, n ∈ N.
