Dave has 10 poker chips, 5 of which are red and the other 5 of which are white. Dave likes to stack his chips and flip them over

as he plays. How many different 10-chip stacks can Dave make if two stacks are not considered distinct if one can be flipped to appear identical to the other?

Answer:

\frac{10!}{5!*5!}  -  \frac{5!}{3!*2!}  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

10 poker chips:

  • 5 red
  • 5 white

Let the stack has positions (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10)

So we can find all possible outcomes of the stack is: \frac{10!}{5!*5!} =

and the possibility of a stack to be identical while flipping is: \frac{5!}{3!*2!}

So the different 10-chip stacks can Dave make if two stacks are not considered distinct:

\frac{10!}{5!*5!}  - \frac{5!}{3!*2!}

Answer:

10!/(5!× 5!) - 5!/(3! × 2!)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,Dave has 10 poker chips, 5 of which are red and the other 5 of which are white. Dave likes to stack his chips and flip them over as he plays. How many different 10-chip stacks can Dave make if two stacks are not considered distinct if one can be flipped to appear identical to the other?

-----Here we have 10 chips

-----5 are red and the rest is white

We are now asked to find out how many different 10-chip stacks can Dave make if two stacks are not considered distinct if one can be flipped to appear identical to the other.

Let the stack has positions (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10)

All possibility of stacks is

10!/(5! × 5!)

and the possibility of a stack to be identical while flipping is

5!/(3! × 2!)

No of different stacks is

10!/(5! × 5!) - 5!/(3! × 2!)

13. A cone with a radius of 3 inches and a height of 7 inches has the same radius as a cylinder. If the cylinder's volume is two
Ghella [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

r = 3 in

h = 7 in

volume of cone = ⅓πr²h = 21π in³

cylinder has radius r = 3 and height h.

volume of cylinder = πr²h = 9πh in³

volume of cylinder is two times the volume of cone

9πh = 2×21π

9h = 42

h = 42/9 = 4⅔ in

The height h(n) of a bouncing ball is an exponential function of the number n of bounces.
Digiron [165]

Answer:

The height of a bouncing ball is defined by h(n) = 6\cdot \left(\frac{4}{6} \right)^{n-1}.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to this statement, we need to derive the expression of the height of a bouncing ball, that is, a function of the number of bounces. The exponential expression of the bouncing ball is of the form:

h = h_{o}\cdot r^{n-1}, n \in \mathbb{N}, 0 < r < 1 (1)

Where:

h_{o} - Height reached by the ball on the first bounce, measured in feet.

r - Decrease rate, no unit.

n - Number of bounces, no unit.

h - Height reached by the ball on the n-th bounce, measured in feet.

The decrease rate is the ratio between heights of two consecutive bounces, that is:

r = \frac{h_{1}}{h_{o}} (2)

Where h_{1} is the height reached by the ball on the second bounce, measured in feet.

If we know that h_{o} = 6\,ft and h_{1} = 4\,ft, then the expression for the height of the bouncing ball is:

h(n) = 6\cdot \left(\frac{4}{6} \right)^{n-1}

The height of a bouncing ball is defined by h(n) = 6\cdot \left(\frac{4}{6} \right)^{n-1}.

Lapatulllka [165]
I wish I could explain how to do these, but I can recommend Math-way. You can type the equations in and it with simplify it for you. It will even show you the steps, but you have to pay fro that part, but at least it will give you the answer.
