Find the coefficient of x^5y^8 in (x+y)^13

recall that the exponent for the first term will be starting at 13, and descending by one on every expanded term, in the binomial theorem.

so, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5 <---- x⁵ will then be in the 9th term

now, using the "combination" formula to get the coefficient of the 9th term.

k = 8 <--- the 9th term

n = 13 <--- highest exponent

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1
