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 a center of mass of a thin plate of density delta equals 5δ=5 bounded by the lines y equals xy=x and x equals 0x=0 and the
kow [346]

Answer:

center of mass

X = \frac{my}{m} = \frac{28}{19}

Y = \frac{mx}{m} = \frac{872}{95}

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x and x = 0

parabola ; y = 20 - x^2

attached below is the detailed solution

M = \frac{152}{3}б

Mx =  \frac{6976}{15}б

My = \frac{224}{3}б

X = \frac{my}{m} = \frac{28}{19}

Y = \frac{mx}{m} = \frac{872}{95}

0.12 over 0.20 as a percent
Afina-wow [57]
\dfrac{0.12}{0.2}  =  \dfrac{0.12 \times 100}{0.2 \times 100} =  \dfrac{12}{20}

\dfrac{12}{20} \times 100 = 60\%
