Answer:

1140 ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable formula is: (n +r - 1)C(r-1), where n is the number of identical items (the candies), and r is the possible number of recipients (the kids).

The 17 identical candies, can be distributed among the 4 children in :

=(17 + 4 - 1)C(4–1) = 20C3 ways.

= 20!/((20–3)!*3!) ways.

= 20*19*18*17!/(17!*(3*2*1)) = 20*19*18/6 ways

= 20*19*3 ways.

=1140 ways.

Question 2(Multiple Choice Worth 1 points) (06.01) Solve 2x + 5y = −13 3x − 4y = −8 (4, 1) (−4, 1) (4, −1) (−4, −1)

dlinn [17]

ANSWER

The solution is
$(-4,-1)$

EXPLANATION

The given equations are:

$2x + 5y = - 13...(1)$

and

$3x - 4y = - 8...(2)$

We multiply equation 1 by 3 to get,

$6x + 15y = - 39...(3)$

We multiply equation 2 also by 2 to get,

$6x - 8y = - 16...(4)$

We subtract equation 4 from equation 3 to get,

$23y = - 23$
This implies that,

$y = - 1$

We put this value of y into any of the equations say equation 2

$3x - 4( - 1) = - 8$
Simplify

$3x + 4 = - 8$
Group like terms
$3x = - 8 - 4$
Simplify,

$3x = - 12$

Divide both sides by 3 to get,

$x = - 4$

Therefore the solution is
$(-4,-1)$

The correct answer is option D.

Suppose that c varies jointly with d and the square of g, and c = 30 when d = 15 and g = 2.

maksim [4K]

Answer:

$d = \dfrac{3}{16}$

Step-by-step explanation:

c varies jointly with d and the square of g

$c\propto dg^2$

$c=kdg^2$

where, k is constant of proportionality.

Put the given value c = 30 when d = 15 and g = 2 and find out k

$30=k\cdot 15\cdot 2^2$

$k=\dfrac{1}{2}$

$c=\dfrac{1}{2}kg^2$

If c = 6 and g = 8 then d = ?

$6=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot d\cdot 8^2$

$d=\dfrac{6\cdot 2}{8^2}$

$d=\dfrac{3}{16}$

Hence, The value of d is $\dfrac{3}{16}$
