This is given by the multinomial coefficient:

\dbinom{11}{1,4,4,2}=\dfrac{11!}{1!4!4!2!}=34650

If you're not familiar with the multinomial coefficient, you may be able to see it more clearly if you count the number of possible combinations taking each distinct letter n times, where n is the number of times it shows up in the original word.

\underbrace{\dbinom{11}1}_{\text{M}}\underbrace{\dbinom{10}4}_{\text{I}}\underbrace{\dbinom64}_{\text{S}}\underbrace{\dbinom22}_{\text{P}}=\dfrac{11!}{1!10!}\dfrac{10!}{4!6!}\dfrac{6!}{4!2!}\dfrac{2!}{2!0!}=\dfrac{11!}{1!4!4!2!}

Answer:

  • If angle C is 90 degrees (def. of right angle) then the sum of angle A and B has to 90 degrees since angle A + B + C (90°) = 180°

Statements and Reasons:

3. Angle C is 90 degrees because of the definition of right angle.

4. Angle A + angle B + angle C is 180 degrees because of triangle sum.

5. Angle A + angle B + 90 = 180 because of substitution postulate.

6. Angle A + angle B is 90 degrees because of subtraction postulate. (subtract 90 from both sides from the equation above this step).

7. Angle A and angle B are complementary.

Write a rule for the linear function (-4)(16),(0)(0),(4)(-16),(8)(-32)
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
The linear rule should look like this y=a*x+b
As the function graph goes through the (0,0) point, the equation 0=a*0+b <=> b=0 must be true.
Now we only need to find a, using one of the points given. With (-4, 16):
16=-4*a <=> a=16/-4 <=> a= -4
So the rule looks the following way:
f(x)= -4*x

Explain why each statement is true. 5 + 2 + 3 = 5 + (2 + 3)
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Associative property of addition. Grouping different addends does not change the sum.

Step-by-step explanation:

5 + 2 + 3 = 5 + (2 + 3)

10 = 5 + (5)

10 = 10
