Answer:

4004

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of combinations of choosing r objects from a group of n is nCr.

So the number of ways to get 7, 8, 9, or 10 heads from 13 coin tosses is:

₁₃C₇ + ₁₃C₈ + ₁₃C₉ + ₁₃C₁₀

= 1716 + 1287 + 715 + 286

= 4004

What are the missing coordinates? My teacher said it was (h-m,n), but I’m saying it is (h+m,n). Could anyone help?

Answer:

<u>You are right, the coordinates are</u>:

$(h+m,n)$

Explanation:

Here is how you can proove that you are right.

Note that m is the x-coordinate of the point $(m,n)$ . Since this point is to the left of the y-axis, it is a negative number, but the negative sign is included in $m$ .

The distance from $(m,n)$ to the y-axis is not $m$ but $-m$ .

That is the same distance from the point with the missing coordinates to the point (h,0).

Then, the missing x-coordinate is $h-(-m)=h+m.$

Of course, there is not doubt about the y-coordinate: it is n, because the point with the missing coordinates is at the same height as (m,n).

Hence, the missing coordinates are x = h+m, and y = n: (h + m, n).

Use the Polynomial Identity below to help you create a list of 10 Pythagorean Triples:

(3,4,5)

(6,8,10)

(5,12,13)

(8,15,17)

(12,16,20)

(7,24,25)

(10,24,26)

(20,21,29)

(16,30,34)

(9,40,41)

Just choose 2 numbers from {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,...} and make sure the one you input for x is larger.

Post the three in the comments and I will check them for you.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to choose 2 positive integers for x and y where x>y.

Positive integers are {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,.....}.

I'm going to start with (x,y)=(2,1).

x=2 and y=1.

$(2^2+1^2)^2=(2^2-1^2)^2+(2\cdot2\cdot1)^2$

$(4+1)^2=(4-1)^2+(4)^2$

$(5)^2=(3)^2+(4)^2$

So one Pythagorean Triple is (3,4,5).

I'm going to choose (x,y)=(3,1).

x=3 and y=1.

$(3^2+1^2)^2=(3^2-1^2)^2+(2\cdot3\cdot1)^2$

$(9+1)^2=(9-1)^2+(6)^2$

$(10)^2=(8)^2+(6)^2$

So another Pythagorean Triple is (6,8,10).

I'm going to choose (x,y)=(3,2).

x=3 and y=2.

$(3^2+2^2)^2=(3^2-2^2)^2+(2\cdot3\cdot2)^2$

$(9+4)^2=(9-4)^2+(12)^2$

$(13)^2=(5)^2+(12)^2$

So another is (5,12,13).

I'm going to choose (x,y)=(4,1).

$(4^2+1^2)^2=(4^2-1^2)^2+(2\cdot4\cdot1)^2$

$(16+1)^2=(16-1)^2+(8)^2$

$(17)^2=(15)^2+(8)^2$

Another is (8,15,17).

I'm going to choose (x,y)=(4,2).

$(4^2+2^2)^2=(4^2-2^2)^2+(2\cdot4\cdot2)^2$

$(16+4)^2=(16-4)^2+(16)^2$

$(20)^2=(12)^2+(16)^2$

We have another which is (12,16,20).

I'm going to choose (x,y)=(4,3).

$(4^2+3^2)^2=(4^2-3^2)^2+(2\cdot4\cdot3)^2$

$(16+9)^2=(16-9)^2+(24)^2$

$(25)^2=(7)^2+(24)^2$

We have another is (7,24,25).

You are just choosing numbers from the positive integer set {1,2,3,4,... } and making sure the number you plug in for x is higher than the number for y.

I will do one more.

Let's choose (x,y)=(5,1).

$(5^2+1^2)^2=(5^2-1^2)^2+(2\cdot5\cdot1)^2$
