<h2>Examining the equation</h2>

We have 2 terms:

$\sqrt{x+2}$ and $\sqrt{4x+1}$

For the sum of these to equal a negative number, in this case -3, one of these terms would have to be negative.

<h2>So what's the problem?</h2>

The function $\sqrt{x}$ (square root of x) only returns positive values!

(See the attached image for a graph of $\sqrt{x}$ )

Since neither of the terms can be negative, it can't be equal to -3. In other words, no matter what we put as $x$ , we can't solve the solution, so we say that the equation <em>does not have any solutions.</em>

The areas of the squares adjacent to two sides of a right triangle are shown below.

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

$85\:\mathrm{units^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

All side lengths of a square are equal. The three squares create a right triangle, and the hypotenuse of this triangle represents the side length of the square.

All right triangles must follow the Pythagorean Theorem $a^2+b^2=c^2$ where $c$ is the hypotenuse of the triangle.

Therefore, let $h$ be the side length of this largest square. Since the area of a square with side length $s$ is given by $s^2$ , $h^2$ will represent the area of the square:

$\sqrt{35}^2+\sqrt{50}^2=h^2=\boxed{85\:\mathrm{units^2}}$

Let C(n, k) = the number of k-membered subsets of an n-membered set. Find (a) C(6, k) for k = 0,1,2,...,6 (b) C(7, k) for k = 0,

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

(a) $C(6,0) = 1$ , $C(6,1) = 6$ , $C(6,2) = 15$ , $C(6,3) = 20$ , $C(6,4) = 15$ , $C(6,5) = 6$ , $C(6,6) = 1$ .

(b) $C(7,0) = 1$ , $C(7,1) = 7$ , $C(7,2) = 21$ , $C(7,3) = 35$ , $C(7,4) = 35$ , $C(7,5) = 21$ , $C(7,6) = 7$ , $C(7,7)=1$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

In this exercise we only need to recall the formula for C(n,k):

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

where the symbol $n!$ is the factorial and means

$n! = 1\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 4\cdtos (n-1)\cdot n$ .

By convention 0!=1. The most important property of the factorial is $n!=(n-1)!\cdot n$ , for example 3!=1*2*3=6.

(a) The explanations to the solutions is just the calculations.

$C(6,0) = \frac{6!}{0!(6-0)!} = \frac{6!}{6!} = 1$

$C(6,1) = \frac{6!}{1!(6-1)!} = \frac{6!}{5!} = \frac{5!\cdot 6}{5!} = 6$

$C(6,2) = \frac{6!}{2!(6-2)!} = \frac{6!}{2\cdot 4!} = \frac{5!\cdot 6}{2\cdot 4!} = \frac{4!\cdot 5\cdot 6}{2\cdot 4!} = \frac{5\cdot 6}{2} = 15$

$C(6,3) = \frac{6!}{3!(6-3)!} = \frac{6!}{3!\cdot 3!} = \frac{5!\cdot 6}{6\cdot 6} = \frac{5!}{6} = \frac{120}{6} = 20$

$C(6,4) = \frac{6!}{4!(6-4)!} = \frac{6!}{4!\cdot 2!} = frac{5!\cdot 6}{2\cdot 4!} = \frac{4!\cdot 5\cdot 6}{2\cdot 4!} = \frac{5\cdot 6}{2} = 15$

$C(6,5) = \frac{6!}{5!(6-5)!} = \frac{6!}{5!} = \frac{5!\cdot 6}{5!} = 6$

$C(6,6) = \frac{6!}{6!(6-6)!} = \frac{6!}{6!} = 1$ .

(b) The explanations to the solutions is just the calculations.

$C(7,0) = \frac{7!}{0!(7-0)!} = \frac{7!}{7!} = 1$

$C(7,1) = \frac{7!}{1!(7-1)!} = \frac{7!}{6!} = \frac{6!\cdot 7}{6!} = 7$

$C(7,2) = \frac{7!}{2!(7-2)!} = \frac{7!}{2\cdot 5!} = \frac{6!\cdot 7}{2\cdot 5!} = \frac{5!\cdot 6\cdot 7}{2\cdot 5!} = \frac{6\cdot 7}{2} = 21$

$C(7,3) = \frac{7!}{3!(7-3)!} = \frac{7!}{3!\cdot 4!} = \frac{6!\cdot 7}{6\cdot 4!} = \frac{5!\cdot 6\cdot 7}{6\cdot 4!} = \frac{120\cdot 7}{24} = 35$
