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

Evaluate:<br> g(x) = 3•2^x+2 + 3<br> g(3)
sertanlavr [38]

If the 3 is supposed to be replaced by any x's, then the answer would be 29 I believe.

What is the least common multiple of 8 and 10
Lynna [10]

40 is your answer. Because, you need the lowest multiple so we have to find it by making out a chart of their multiples

8, 16,24,32,40

10,20,30,40

The first same multiple they make is 40
