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,

Use the Law of Sines to find the measure of angle R to the nearest degree.
IrinaK [193]
\frac{\sin(R)}{PQ} = \frac{\sin(Q)}{PR}

\frac{\sin(R)}{24.7} = \frac{\sin(43^{\circ})}{16.9}

\sin(R) = 24.7*\frac{\sin(43^{\circ})}{16.9}

\sin(R) \approx 0.9967668

R \approx \arcsin(0.9967668)

R \approx 85.39137896^{\circ}

R \approx 85^{\circ}

The final answer is 85 degrees

Find the value of x.
son4ous [18]

Answer:

18.0

Step-by-step explanation:

==>Given:

Triangle with sides, 16, 30, and x, and a measure of an angle corresponding to x = 30°

==>Required:

Value of x to the nearest tenth

==>Solution:

Using the Cosine rule: c² = a² + b² - 2abcos(C)

Let c = x,

a = 16

b = 30

C = 30°

Thus,

c² = 16² + 30² - 2*16*30*cos 30°

c² = 256 + 900 - 960 * 0.8660

c² = 1,156 - 831.36

c² = 324.64

c = √324.64

c = 18.017769

x ≈ 18.0 (rounded to nearest tenth)
