ann is grouping 38 rocks, she can put into groups of 10 rocks or as single rocks what are the different ways she can group them

1 answer:

5 0

Since Anna is either grouping them as single rock or as group of 10, we need to find the maximum number of groups of 10 as follows: 38/10 = 3.8

This means that Anna can make maximum 3 groups of 10 rocks.

Based on this, the different ways to group the rocks are as follows:
- 3 groups of 10 and 8 (which are calculated as: 38-30) single rocks
- 2 groups of 10 and 18 (which are calculated as: 38-20) single rocks
- 1 group of 10 and 28 (which are calculated as: 38-10) single rocks
- 0 group of 10 and 38 (which are calculated as: 38-0) single rocks

If n is a positive integer, how many 5-tuples of integers from 1 through n can be formed in which the elements of the 5-tuple ar

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

$n + 4 {n \choose 2} + 6 {n \choose 3} + 4 {n \choose 4} + {n \choose 5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets divide it in cases, then sum everything

Case (1): All 5 numbers are different

In this case, the problem is reduced to count the number of subsets of cardinality 5 from a set of cardinality n. The order doesnt matter because once we have two different sets, we can order them descendently, and we obtain two different 5-tuples in decreasing order.

The total cardinality of this case therefore is the Combinatorial number of n with 5, in other words, the total amount of possibilities to pick 5 elements from a set of n.

${n \choose 5 } = \frac{n!}{5!(n-5)!}$

Case (2): 4 numbers are different

We start this case similarly to the previous one, we count how many subsets of 4 elements we can form from a set of n elements. The answer is the combinatorial number of n with 4 ${n \choose 4} .$

We still have to localize the other element, that forcibly, is one of the four chosen. Therefore, the total amount of possibilities for this case is multiplied by those 4 options.

The total cardinality of this case is $4 * {n \choose 4} .$

Case (3): 3 numbers are different

As we did before, we pick 3 elements from a set of n. The amount of possibilities is ${n \choose 3} .$

Then, we need to define the other 2 numbers. They can be the same number, in which case we have 3 possibilities, or they can be 2 different ones, in which case we have ${3 \choose 2 } = 3$ possibilities. Therefore, we have a total of 6 possibilities to define the other 2 numbers. That multiplies by 6 the total of cases for this part, giving a total of $6 * {n \choose 3}$

Case (4): 2 numbers are different

We pick 2 numbers from a set of n, with a total of ${n \choose 2}$ possibilities. We have 4 options to define the other 3 numbers, they can all three of them be equal to the biggest number, there can be 2 equal to the biggest number and 1 to the smallest one, there can be 1 equal to the biggest number and 2 to the smallest one, and they can all three of them be equal to the smallest number.

The total amount of possibilities for this case is

$4 * {n \choose 2}$

Case (5): All numbers are the same

This is easy, he have as many possibilities as numbers the set has. In other words, n

Conclussion

By summing over all 5 cases, the total amount of possibilities to form 5-tuples of integers from 1 through n is

$n + 4 {n \choose 2} + 6 {n \choose 3} + 4 {n \choose 4} + {n \choose 5}$

I hope that works for you!

Find the value of n, if 25.003 = (2x 10) + (5x1)+(3xn)

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

$n=0.001$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(2\times10)+(5\times1)+(3\times n)=25.003\\\\\implies 20 + 5 + 3n = 25.003\\\\\implies 3n+25=25.003\\\\\implies 3n+25-25=25.003-25\\\\\implies 3n = 0.003\\\\\implies n=0.001$
