Part a· 3 steps

To write down the binomial expansion of (1+1x)(1 + \frac{1}{x}), a power is required. Assuming the question implies the power is 5, similar to part b), we will expand (1+1x)5(1 + \frac{1}{x})^5.

  1. Recall the Binomial Theorem formula.

    The binomial expansion of (a+b)n(a+b)^n is given by:

    (a+b)n=∑k=0n(nk)an−kbk(a+b)^n = \sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} a^{n-k} b^k

    In this case, a=1a=1, b=1xb=\frac{1}{x}, and n=5n=5.

  2. Calculate each term of the expansion.

    The terms are (5k)(1)5−k(1x)k\binom{5}{k} (1)^{5-k} (\frac{1}{x})^k for k=0,1,2,3,4,5k=0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

    For k=0k=0:

    (50)(1)5(1x)0=1⋅1⋅1=1\binom{5}{0} (1)^{5} \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^0 = 1 \cdot 1 \cdot 1 = 1

    For k=1k=1:

    (51)(1)4(1x)1=5⋅1⋅1x=5x\binom{5}{1} (1)^{4} \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^1 = 5 \cdot 1 \cdot \frac{1}{x} = \frac{5}{x}

    For k=2k=2:

    (52)(1)3(1x)2=10⋅1⋅1x2=10x2\binom{5}{2} (1)^{3} \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^2 = 10 \cdot 1 \cdot \frac{1}{x^2} = \frac{10}{x^2}

    For k=3k=3:

    (53)(1)2(1x)3=10⋅1⋅1x3=10x3\binom{5}{3} (1)^{2} \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^3 = 10 \cdot 1 \cdot \frac{1}{x^3} = \frac{10}{x^3}

    For k=4k=4:

    (54)(1)1(1x)4=5⋅1⋅1x4=5x4\binom{5}{4} (1)^{1} \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^4 = 5 \cdot 1 \cdot \frac{1}{x^4} = \frac{5}{x^4}

    For k=5k=5:

    (55)(1)0(1x)5=1⋅1⋅1x5=1x5\binom{5}{5} (1)^{0} \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^5 = 1 \cdot 1 \cdot \frac{1}{x^5} = \frac{1}{x^5}
  3. Sum the terms to get the full expansion.

    (1+1x)5=1+5x+10x2+10x3+5x4+1x5(1 + \frac{1}{x})^5 = 1 + \frac{5}{x} + \frac{10}{x^2} + \frac{10}{x^3} + \frac{5}{x^4} + \frac{1}{x^5}

    The simplified binomial expansion is:

    1+5x+10x2+10x3+5x4+1x5\boxed{1 + \frac{5}{x} + \frac{10}{x^2} + \frac{10}{x^3} + \frac{5}{x^4} + \frac{1}{x^5}}

Part b0.0000

Evaluate (0.05)5(0.05)^5 correct to 4 decimal places.

  1. Calculate the value of (0.05)5(0.05)^5.

    (0.05)5=(5×10−2)5(0.05)^5 = (5 \times 10^{-2})^5 (0.05)5=55×(10−2)5(0.05)^5 = 5^5 \times (10^{-2})^5 (0.05)5=3125×10−10(0.05)^5 = 3125 \times 10^{-10} (0.05)5=0.0000000003125(0.05)^5 = 0.0000000003125
  2. Round the result to 4 decimal places.

    To round to 4 decimal places, we look at the fifth decimal place.
    The number is 0.0000000003125.
    The first four decimal places are 0,0,0,00, 0, 0, 0.
    The fifth decimal place is 0.
    Since the fifth decimal place is 0 (which is less than 5), we keep the fourth decimal place as it is.

    0.00000.0000

    The value of (0.05)5(0.05)^5 correct to 4 decimal places is:

    0.0000\boxed{0.0000}
