3. In the expansion of (ax^2+ by)^8 the coefficients of last two terms are -5832 and 6561, respectively. Find the values of: a and b

a =  -0.33

b = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

(ax²+ by)⁸

by the 8th level of Pascal Triangle, the coefficient of last 2 terms are

8 a*b⁷ = -5832  ... last 2nd term 8 ab⁷ x²y⁷

b⁸ = 6561   ... last term b⁸y⁸

b = 3

a = -5832/(8*3⁷) = -0.33

solution:

as, mean is defined as sum of all the observations divided by total number of observations.

and , median is mid value of the data whether arranged in ascending order or descending order.

consider, roadsters:

2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

mean =

also, median= , because number of observations is even, so median is mean of two mid values.

now, coming to bandits

2,3,4,5,6

mean =  

median = 4, as number of observations is odd.

so, roadsters has greater median as well mean than bandits.

→option a is true about the repairs performed on 2 types of cars:

bandits have lower median and mean than roadsters.
