Answer:

a) rCn = 1176

b) 2352

Step-by-step explanation:

a)Each committee should be formed with 3 members ( no two members could be of the same state) then

Let´s  fix a senator for any of the 50 states so in the new condition we need to combined 49 senators in groups of 2 then

rCn =  n! / (n - r )! *r!

rCn =  49!/ (49 - 2)!*2!

rCn =  49*48*47! / 47!*2!

rCn = 49*48 /2

rCn = 1176

So we can choose in 1176 different ways a senator for a given state

b) To answer this question we have to note, that, 1176 is the number of ways a committee can be formed with senators of different sate (taking just one senator for state ) if we have 2 senators we need to multiply that figure by 2.

1176*2 = 2352

Supongamos que estás en el infierno y el diablo te reta a un juego. Él piensa en un número natural.Cada día, tú tendrás una opor
Blababa [14]

Answer:

En síntesis, se inicia con el número natural más pequeño en el primer y se prosigue con los números siguientes en caso de no dar con n, de modo que el participante pasará en el infierno únicamente n días, algo pequeño en comparación con la eternidad.

Step-by-step explanation:

Los números naturales comprenden el subconjunto más pequeño de los números reales conformado por los siguientes elementos:

\mathbb{N} = \{1,2,3,4,...\}

Sea n \in \mathbb{N} el número que tiene el diablo en su mente, tal que n \geq 1. Comenzamos el primer día con 1, si este no corresponde con n. Entonces se utiliza 2 al día siguiente y este no corresponde, se emplea al día siguiente y así sucesivamente hasta conseguir n.

En síntesis, se inicia con el número natural más pequeño en el primer y se prosigue con los números siguientes en caso de no dar con n, de modo que el participante pasará en el infierno únicamente n días, algo pequeño en comparación con la eternidad.
