Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a Combination (as in permutation vs combination) question the symbol (n r) refers to "n choose r". This is sometimes written as nCr

i.e the question is asking you to find how many combinations each will yield when you chose r items from n item without repetition and order does not matter.

I will only do the first question for you and you can just follow the same steps to solve the rest of the questions.

Recall that

nCr=\frac{n!}{(r!)(n-r)!}

Consider question a) we are given (5 1) or ₅C₁

we can see that n = 5 and r = 1

If we substitute this into the formula:

₅C₁ = (5!) / [ (1!)(5- 1)!]

= (5!) / [ (5- 1)!]

= (5!) / (4!)

= (5·4·3·2·1) / (4·3·2·1)

= 5

hence ₅C₁ = 5

Answer:

(a) 5

(b) 10

(c) 35

(d) 28

(e) 9

(f) 21

Step-by-step explanation:

(\frac{n}{k} )=\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}

(a)

(\frac{5}{1} )=\frac{5!}{1!(5-1)!} \\\\(\frac{5}{1} )=\frac{5*4*3*2*1}{1*4!} \\\\(\frac{5}{1} )=\frac{120}{1*4*3*2*1} \\\\(\frac{5}{1} )=\frac{120}{24} \\\\(\frac{5}{1} )=5

(b)

(\frac{5}{3} )=\frac{5!}{3!(5-3)!} \\\\(\frac{5}{3} )=\frac{5*4*3*2*1}{3*2*1*2!} \\\\(\frac{5}{3} )=\frac{120}{3*2*1*2*1}\\\\(\frac{5}{3} )=\frac{120}{12} \\\\(\frac{5}{3} )=10

(c)

(\frac{7}{4} )=\frac{7!}{4!(7-4)!} \\\\(\frac{7}{4} )=\frac{7*6*5*4*3*2*1}{4*3*2*1*3!} \\\\(\frac{7}{4} )=\frac{5040}{4*3*2*1*3*2*1} \\\\(\frac{7}{4} )=\frac{5040}{144} \\\\(\frac{7}{4} )=35

(d)

(\frac{8}{2}) =\frac{8!}{2!(8-2)!} \\\\(\frac{8}{2}) =\frac{8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1}{2*1*6!} \\\\(\frac{8}{2}) =\frac{40320}{2*1*6*5*4*3*2*1}\\\\(\frac{8}{2}) =\frac{40320}{1440} \\\\(\frac{8}{2}) =28

(e)

(\frac{9}{8} )=\frac{9!}{8!(9-8)!} \\\\(\frac{9}{8} )=\frac{9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1}{8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1*1!} \\\\(\frac{9}{8} )=\frac{362880}{40320*1!} \\\\(\frac{9}{8} )=\frac{362880}{40320*1} \\\\(\frac{9}{8} )=\frac{362880}{40320} \\\\(\frac{9}{8} )=9

(f)

(\frac{10}{4} )=\frac{10!}{4!(10-4)!} \\\\(\frac{10}{4} )=\frac{10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1}{4*3*2*1*6!} \\\\(\frac{10}{4} )=\frac{3628800}{24*6*5*4*3*2*1} \\\\(\frac{10}{4} )=\frac{362880}{17280} \\\\(\frac{10}{4} )=21

An acute triangle is isosceles. Is this statement true? pls explain
solniwko [45]

Answer:

I hope this helps:)

Every isosceles triangle has an axis of symmetry along the perpendicular bisector of its base. The two angles opposite the legs are equal and are always acute, so the classification of the triangle as acute, right, or obtuse depends only on the angle between its two legs.
