In how many ways can 100 identical chairs be distributed to five different classrooms if the two largest rooms together receive

exactly half of the chairs

Answer:

There are 67626 ways of distributing the chairs.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a combinatorial problem of balls and sticks. In order to represent a way of distributing n identical chairs to k classrooms we can align n balls and k-1 sticks. The first classroom will receive as many chairs as the amount of balls before the first stick. The second one will receive as many chairs as the amount of balls between the first and the second stick, the third classroom will receive the amount between the second and third stick and so on (if 2 sticks are one next to the other, then the respective classroom receives 0 chairs).

The total amount of ways to distribute n chairs to k classrooms as a result, is the total amount of ways to put k-1 sticks and n balls in a line. This can be represented by picking k-1 places for the sticks from n+k-1 places available; thus the cardinality will be the combinatorial number of n+k-1 with k-1, {n+k-1 \choose k-1} .

For the 2 largest classrooms we distribute n = 50 chairs. Here k = 2, thus the total amount of ways to distribute them is {50+2-1 \choose 2-1} = 51 .

For the 3 remaining classrooms (k=3) we need to distribute the remaining 50 chairs, here we have {50+3-1 \choose 3-1} = {52 \choose 2} = 1326 ways of making the distribution.

As a result, the total amount of possibilities for the chairs to be distributed is 51*1326 = 67626.

Varvara68 [4.7K]
The pyramid is shown in the diagram below.
The pyramid is built from four congruent triangles and one square as the base

We have the side of the square, so the area is = 10×10 = 100

We need the height of the triangle to work out its area. We can find out by using the height of the pyramid and half of the length of the side of the square.

Using the Pythagoras rule
Height of triangle = \sqrt{12^{2}+ 5^{2} } =13

Area of one triangle = 1/2×10×12=60
Surface area of the pyramid = 100 + (4×60) = 340 square inches

If car #1 gets 43.2 miles per gallon and car #2 gets 35.9 miles per gallon. Calculate the difference in costs if you drive a dis
Tanzania [10]

Hey!

Hope this helps...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Car #1: 300/43.2 = 6.9444 gallons

(Rounded) Car #2: 300/35.9 = 8.3565 gallons

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Rounded) Car #1: 6.9444*3.19 = $22.16 to re-fill their tank

(Rounded) Car #2: 8.3565*3.19 = $26.66 to re-fill their tank

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Rounded) Difference: $26.66 - 22.15 = $4.50

To re-fill Car 2's tank is approximately $4.50 more to re-fill Car 1's tank...

How do you transpose a number
Mrac [35]

Answer:

Transposing a number is a type of error where two digits swap position in the sequence. An example would be to enter 13 instead of the desired 31. It could also be the error of dropping a needed zero as in writing 15 instead of the desired 150.

Step-by-step explanation:

Unless by "number" you mean musical score. Then transposing is rewriting the score in a new key.

Use the intermediate value theorem to prove that there is a positive number c such that c2 = 2.
schepotkina [342]

So lets try to prove it,

So let's consider the function f(x) = x^2.

Since f(x) is a polynomial, then it is continuous on the interval (- infinity, + infinity).

Using the Intermediate Value Theorem,

it would be enough to show that at some point a f(x) is less than 2 and at some point b f(x) is greater than 2. For example, let a = 0 and b = 3.

Therefore, f(0) = 0, which is less than 2, and f(3) = 9, which is greater than 2. Applying IVT to f(x) = x^2 on the interval [0,3}.
