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

Complete the square to transform the expression x2 + 4x + 2 into the form a(x − h)2 + k.
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = (x^2 + 4x)      + 2

Take 1/2 of the linear term 4/2 = 2 and square that result. 2^2 = 4.

Put it after 4x

y = (x^2 + 4x + 4)   +2  Subtract what you put inside the brackets on the outside.

y = (x^2 + 4x + 4) + 2 - 4      Combine the right.

y = (x^2 + 4x + 4) - 2            Express the brackets as a square.

y = (x + 2)^2 - 2

That's your answer

a = 1

h = 2

k = -2

If line P bisects segmentAD at point O and if AO=z+4 and AD =3z-11, find OD
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Line P bisects AD at O.

AD = AO + OD

(3z - 11) = (z + 4) + OD

(3z - 11) - (z + 4) = OD

3z - 11 - z - 4 = OD

2z -15 = OD
