Cindy has 6 identical pink candies and 8 identical green candies. Find the number of ways that Cindy can line up her candies in

a row, so that there are exactly four places where a pink candy is next to a green candy. One example is $PPGGGPPPGGGGGP.$

Answer:

175 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Form a partition into 2 or 3 parts and the number of ways.

Pink candies

[1,5](2) , [2,4](2) , [3,3](1) , [1,4](3), [1,2,3](6) , [2,2,2](1)

Green candies

[1,7](2) , [2,6](2) , [3,5](2) , [4,4](1) , [1,1,6](3) , [1,2,5](6) , [1,3,4](6) , ,[2,2,4](3) , [2,3,3](3)

Number of ways will be:

(2+2+1) (2+6+6+3+3) + (3+6+1)(2+2+2+1)

Number of ways =( 5×21) + (10×7) = 175ways

Consider these functions

Evgen [1.6K]

<h3>Answer: D) 31</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

The expression g(f(2)) has f(2) as the inner function.

Let's compute f(2)

This means we plug x = 2 into the f(x) function

f(x) = 4x^3 - 10

f(x) = 4(x)^3 - 10

f(2) = 4(2)^3-10

f(2) = 4*8-10

f(2) = 32-10

f(2) = 22

Now we'll plug this into the g(x) function

This is because g(f(2)) = g(22). I've replaced f(2) with 22

So,

g(x) = (3x-4)/2

g(22) = (3*22-4)/2

g(22) = (66-4)/2

g(22) = 62/2

g(22) = 31

Therefore, g(f(2)) = 31

Nine more than the quotient of a number and 5 is -22

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

number is -155

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number equal 'x'

quotient means divide

nine more means plus 9

quotient of a number and 5 means x divided by 5

9+ x/5 = -22

now to solve for x

x/5 = -31

x = -155

30. What is the solution to the system of equations? (1 point)

sesenic [268]

Answer:

Option B) (-1,7,5) is correct.

The solution to the given system of equation is (-1,7,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system of equations are

$-7x-2y+z=-2\hfill (1)$

$6x-y-z=-18\hfill (2)$

$5x+4y-z=18\hfill (3)$

To find the solution of the given system of equations by using Elimination method:

Now adding equations (1) and (2)

$-7x-2y+z=-2$

$6x-y-z=-18$

_________________

$-x-3y=-20$

________________

$-x-3y=-20$

$-(x+3y)=-20$

$x+3y=20\hfill (4)$ (since "-" getting cancelled)

Now adding equations (1) and (3)

$-7x-2y+z=-2$

$5x+4y-z=18$

_________________

$-2x+2y=16$

________________

$-2x+2y=16$

$2(-x+y)=16$

$-x+y=8\hfill (5)$

Now adding equations (4) and (5)

$x+3y=20$

$-x+y=8$

_________________

$4y=28$

________________

$y=\frac{28}{4}$

Therefore y=7

Substituting y=7 in equation (4)

$x+3y=20$

$x+3(7)=20$

$x+21=20$

$x=20-21$

Therefore x=-1

Now substituting the values x=-1 and y=7 in equation (1) we get

$-7x-2y+z=-2$

$-7(-1)-2(7)+z=-2$

$7-14+z=-2$

$z=-2+7$

Therefore z=5

Therefore the solution to the given system of equation is (-1,7,5)

Therefore Option B) (-1,7,5) is correct.
