OK my paper says the numerical expression 5+12 represent the sum of 5 and 12. I don't understand

That literally means the numbers '5' and '12' written like this: 5 + 12

represent the sum of 5 and 12, which is the same as 5 + 12 (because the sum is when all the numbers are added up).

So it's saying 5 + 12 equals to 17.

Do you get it?

The sum means answer of a addition problem and the answer of 5+12 and the sum of 5 and 12 are the same thing

Eights rooks are placed randomly on a chess board. What is the probability that none of the rooks can capture any of the other r

erastova [34]

Answer:

The probability is $\frac{56!}{64!}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can divide the amount of favourable cases by the total amount of cases.

The total amount of cases is the total amount of ways to put 8 rooks on a chessboard. Since a chessboard has 64 squares, this number is the combinatorial number of 64 with 8, $64 \choose 8 .$

For a favourable case, you need one rook on each column, and for each column the correspondent rook should be in a diferent row than the rest of the rooks. A favourable case can be represented by a bijective function $f : A \rightarrow A ,$ with A = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}. f(i) = j represents that the rook located in the column i is located in the row j.

Thus, the total of favourable cases is equal to the total amount of bijective functions between a set of 8 elements. This amount is 8!, because we have 8 possibilities for the first column, 7 for the second one, 6 on the third one, and so on.

We can conclude that the probability for 8 rooks not being able to capture themselves is

$\frac{8!}{64 \choose 8} = \frac{8!}{\frac{64!}{8!56!}} = \frac{56!}{64!}$
