There are 66 ways Kim can put the 10 identical lamps on the 3 identical tables

<h3>How to determine the number of ways?</h3>

The given parameters are:

  • Identical lamps, n = 10
  • Identical tables, r = 3

The combination involving identical objects is calculated using:

(n + r - 1)C(r - 1)

So, we have:

n + r - 1 = 10 + 3 - 1

Evaluate the sum

n + r - 1 = 13 - 1

Evaluate the difference

n + r - 1 = 12

Also, we have:

r - 1 = 3 - 1

Evaluate the difference

r - 1 = 2

So, we have:

(n + r - 1)C(r - 1) = 12C2

Apply the following combination formula:

nCr = n!/((n - r)!r!)

So, we have:

12C2 = 12!/((12 - 2)! * 2!)

Evaluate the difference

12C2 = 12!/(10! * 2!)

Expand the numerator

12C2 = 12 * 11 * 10!/(10! * 2!)

Evaluate the quotient

12C2 = 12 * 11/2!

Expand the denominator

12C2 = 12 * 11/2 * 1

Evaluate the product

12C2 = 132/2

Evaluate the quotient

12C2 = 66

Hence, there are 66 ways Kim can put the 10 identical lamps on the 3 identical tables

What are the solutions of 3x2 - x + 4 =
o-na [289]

To do this, you must use the order of operations.

3·2=6

6+4=10

Now to solve (-)x.

Since -x comes in front of 4, you must make your equation:

-x+10

Nothing is written for x, so now, you have the answer.

-x+10

SHOW YOUR WORK!!<br><br> What is the distance between point A (-3, -2) and Point B (4, -7)?
gulaghasi [49]

Answer: \bold{\sqrt{74}}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

\text{Use the distance formula: }d_AB=\sqrt{(x_A-x_B)^2+(y_A-y_B)^2}\\where\ (X_A, y_A)=(-3, -2)\\and\ (x_B,y_B)=(4, -7)\\\\\\d_AB=\sqrt{(-3-4)^2+[-2-(-7)]^2}\\\\.\quad =\sqrt{(-7)^2+(5)^2}\\\\.\quad =\sqrt{49+25}\\\\.\quad =\boxed{\sqrt{74}}

Based on the graph, what is the dependent variable, the equation relating the two variables, and how far will the dragonfly trav
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

<h2>The dependent variable is distance, the equation is y = 20x, and the dragonfly will travel 480 miles.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the graph, the dependent variable is Distance in miles, because it's on the vertical axis. Additionally, the independent variable is time in hours, because it's on the horizontal axis. However, you always put time as independent, because nothing affects time.

To find the equation, we just need to find the slope, using two points (0,0) and (2,40).

m=\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }=\frac{40-0}{2-0}=20

Therefore, the equation is y=20x, which shows a direct proportion between variables.

Now, in 24 hours, it would travel

y=20(24)=480

It would travel 480 miles.

Therefore, the right answer is the second choice.

If f(x)=4x^2+1 and g(x) =x^2-5 find (f-g)(x)
docker41 [41]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{(f-g)(x)=3x^2+6}

Step-by-step explanation:

(f-g)(x)=f(x)(x)\\\\\text{substitute}\ f(x)=4x^2+1\ \text{and}\ g(x)=x^2-5\\\\(f-g)(x)=(4x^2+1)-(x^2-5)=4x^2+1-x^2-(-5)=4x^2+1-x^2+5\\\\\text{combine like terms}\\\\(f-g)(x)=(4x^2-x^2)+(1+5)=3x^2+6
