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

Find the equation of the line through (-9,6) that is perpendicular to the line through (7,8),
Setler [38]

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume as "equation" we mean the slope-intercept form :

y = ax + b

"a" is the slope of the line (y coordinate change / x coordinate change when going from one point to another on the line). b is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0).

we get the slope by finding the perpendicular slope of the first line.

the slope of the first line when going from (-3, -9) to (7, 8) :

x changes by + 10 (from -3 to +7).

y changes by + 17 (from -9 to +8).

so, that slope is 17/10.

the perpendicular slope is turning the original slope upside-down and flips the sign :

-10/17

so, a = -10/17

now, as we have only the slope and a point of the new line, we can use the point-slope form to stay and then transfer into the slope-intercept form.

y - y1 = a(x - x1)

where "a" is again the slope, and (x1, y1) is a point on the line

y - -6 = -10/17 × (x - -9)

y + 6 = -10/17 × (x + 9) = -10/17 × x - 90/17

y = -10/17 × x - 90/17 - 6 =

= -10/17 × x - 90/17 - 102/17 =

= -10/17 × x - 192/17

so, the equation is (in a maybe nicer way)

y = -1/17 × (10x + 192)

How does the structure of a trinomial with a leading coefficient of 1 and a positive constant help to factor it?
mixer [17]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

If a quadratic trinomial has a leading coefficient of 1 and a positive constant, then it is very easy to factor.

You just have to look for two factors of the constant term that add up to the coefficient of x( the middle term).

Then you write as factors.

For instance;

{x}^{2}  +5 x + 6

To factors of 6 that add up to 5 are 2 and 3.

Therefore the factorization is:

(x + 2)(x + 3)
