By definition of the binomial coefficient,

$C(n,k) = \dfrac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}$

so we have

$C(50,3) + C(50,4) = \dfrac{50!}{3!47!} + \dfrac{50!}{4!46!} \\\\ = \dfrac{50!}{3!46!} \left(\dfrac1{47} + \dfrac14\right) \\\\ = \dfrac{50!}{3!46!} \times \dfrac{51}{188} \\\\ = \dfrac{51!}{3!46!} \times \dfrac1{4\times47} \\\\ = \dfrac{51!}{4!47!} \\\\ = \dfrac{51!}{4!(51-4)!} = C(51,4)$

as required.

Which of the following is a solution to the following system of inequalities?

iren2701 [21]

Option D: $(0,3)$ is the solution to the inequalities.

Explanation:

From the given graph, we can see that the equation of the inequalities are

$y>-x+1$ and $y\leq 2 x+3$

To determine the coordinate that satisfies the inequality, let us substitute the coordinates in both of the inequalities $y>-x+1$ and $$y$

Thus, we have,

Option A: $(1,-1)$

Substituting the coordinates in $y>-x+1$ and $y\leq 2 x+3$ , we get,

$y>-x+1\implies-1>0$ is not true.

$$y\leq 2 x+3 \implies -1\leq 5$ is true.

Since, only one equation satisfies the condition, the coordinate $(1,-1)$ is not a solution.

Hence, Option A is not the correct answer.

Option B: $(-4,0)$

Substituting the coordinates in $y>-x+1$ and $y\leq 2 x+3$ , we get,

$y>-x+1\implies0>5$ is not true.

$$y\leq 2 x+3 \implies 0\leq -5$ is not true.

Since, both the equations does not satisfy the condition, the coordinate $(-4,0)$ is not a solution.

Hence, Option B is not the correct answer.

Option C: $(3,-2)$

Substituting the coordinates in $y>-x+1$ and $y\leq 2 x+3$ , we get,

$y>-x+1\implies-2>-2$ is not true.

$$y\leq 2 x+3 \implies -2\leq 9$ is true.

Since, only one equation satisfies the condition, the coordinate $(3,-2)$ is not a solution.

Hence, Option C is not the correct answer.

Option D: $(0,3)$

Substituting the coordinates in $y>-x+1$ and $y\leq 2 x+3$ , we get,

$y>-x+1\implies3>1$ is true.

$$y\leq 2 x+3 \implies 3\leq 3$ is true.

Since, both equation satisfies the condition, the coordinate $(0,3)$ is a solution.

Hence, Option D is the correct answer.

Using technology, determine the quarterly payment on a 4 year loan of $16,231 at 5.1% compounded quarterly. Round your answer to

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

$1,127.86

Step-by-step explanation:

The amortization formula is ...

A = Pr/(1 -(1+r)^-n)

where A is the payment amount, P is the principal amount, r is the interest rate per period, and n is the number of periods.

Here, we have P=$16,231, r=0.051/4=0.01275, n=4·4=16.

So, the payment is ...

A = $16,231·0.01275/(1 -1.01275^-16) = $1,127.86

The quarterly payment amount is $1,127.86.
