Answer: 44

The only choice to be made is how many gummy bears to give each child; once we've decided that, each child must receive the unique number of candies that will bring their total to 3 items. Thus, our problem reduces to counting integer solutions to a+b+c+d=6 that satisfy 0 <= a, b, c, d <= 3.

Ignoring the <= 3 restrictions, we have 9C3 = 84 solutions (which correspond to arrangements of 6 objects and 3 dividers).

Now we correct for the overcount. We must reject 5C3 = 10 solutions satisfying a >= 4, as well as 10 solutions with b, c, d >= 4. No further correction is needed, as it is not possible for more than one of a, b, c, d to be greater than or equal to 4.

Thus there are 84 - 4 x 10 = 44 ways to distribute the gummy bears, each of which forces a unique distribution of candies. There are 44 solutions.

But you guys should USE THE MESSAGE BOARD as well if you have trouble with AoPS HW problems.

Hope that helped,

What is the value of the natural logarithm when x =0.6 is rounded to the nearest hundredth
Bezzdna [24]
We are tasked to determine the natural logarithm when x = 0.6. 
x = 0.6, applying natural logarithm on both sides, we have it:
ln x = ln 0.6 using a scientific calculator, enter ln 0.6 and then this would give an answer of -0.5108256238
As per instruction, we are required to round the answer to the nearest hundredth such as the final answer is -0.51.

The answer is the letter "B".

Can someone help me with problem please? It’s special right triangle: decimal answers (Round to the nearest tenth)
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

h= 4.6, c=7.1

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to know in a 30 60 90 triangle the sides ratios are x, 2x and x√3, and for 45 90 45 it is x, x and x√2

so <em>h</em> is 8/√3 and you rationalize the bottom so it becomes 8√3/3. when you solve this and round to nearest hundred it becomes 4.6. for the second one, it is 5√2 and when you solve this and round, it becomes 7.1
