Five pieces can be selected in 1287 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

When the selection has to be made without considering the order of selection, combinations are used.

The formula for combination is:

$C(n,r) = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$

Here

Total candies = n = 13

Candies to be selected = r = 5

Putting the values in the formula

$C(13,5) = \frac{13!}{5!(13-5)!}\\=\frac{13!}{5!8!}\\=1287\ ways$

Five pieces can be selected in 1287 ways

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

abc = 1

We have to prove that,

$\frac{1}{1+a+b^{-1}}+\frac{1}{1+b+c^{-1}}+\frac{1}{1+c+a^{-1}}=1$

We take left hand side of the given equation and solve it,

$\frac{1}{1+a+\frac{1}{b}}+\frac{1}{1+b+\frac{1}{c}}+\frac{1}{1+c+\frac{1}{a}}$

Since, abc = 1,

$\frac{1}{c}=ab$ and c = $\frac{1}{ab}$

By substituting these values in the expression,

$\frac{1}{1+a+\frac{1}{b}}+\frac{1}{1+b+\frac{1}{c}}+\frac{1}{1+c+\frac{1}{a}}=\frac{1}{1+a+\frac{1}{b}}+\frac{1}{1+b+ab}+\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{ab}+\frac{1}{a}}$

$=\frac{b}{b+ab+1}+\frac{1}{1+b+ab}+\frac{ab}{ab+1+b}$

$=\frac{1+b+ab}{1+b+ab}$

$=1$

Which equal to the right hand side of the equation.

Hence, $\frac{1}{1+a+b^{-1}}+\frac{1}{1+b+c^{-1}}+\frac{1}{1+c+a^{-1}}=1$
