Answer:

(a) 65536 - the basic principle of counting

(b) 2520 - use the multinomials.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 8 people among 4 schools

The teachers are different among themselves, and so are the schools.  

(a)

Every teacher can choose a school. By the basic principle of counting: 4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4 = 4^8 = 65536

different divisions of the teachers

Note: this does not ensure that every school gets a teacher  

(b) - <u>Every school gets precisely 2 teachers:</u>

to divide 8 different objects into four groups of fixed sizes 2, 2, 2 and 2, use the multinomial coefficient  

( 8   2, 2, 2, 2) = (8!)/(2!2!2!2!) ==> 2520

different divisions of the teachers

What is the slope intercept of y/2-4=x/3
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y/2 - 4 = x/3 can also be written as 1/2y - 4 = 1/3x

slope intercept form is y = mx + b

1/2y - 4 = 1/3x....multiply entire equation by 6, to get rid of fractions

3y - 24 = 2x ...add 24 to both sides

3y = 2x + 24....divide both sides by 3

y = 2/3x + 6 <===
