Answer:

(a) C(6,0) = 1, C(6,1) = 6, C(6,2) = 15, C(6,3) = 20, C(6,4) = 15, C(6,5) = 6, C(6,6) = 1.

(b) C(7,0) = 1, C(7,1) = 7, C(7,2) = 21, C(7,3) = 35, C(7,4) = 35, C(7,5) = 21, C(7,6) = 7, C(7,7)=1.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this exercise we only need to recall the formula for C(n,k):

C(n,k) = \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}

where the symbol n! is the factorial and means

n! = 1\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 4\cdtos (n-1)\cdot n.

By convention 0!=1. The most important property of the factorial is n!=(n-1)!\cdot n, for example 3!=1*2*3=6.

(a) The explanations to the solutions is just the calculations.

  • C(6,0) = \frac{6!}{0!(6-0)!} = \frac{6!}{6!} = 1
  • C(6,1) = \frac{6!}{1!(6-1)!} = \frac{6!}{5!} = \frac{5!\cdot 6}{5!} = 6
  • C(6,2) = \frac{6!}{2!(6-2)!} = \frac{6!}{2\cdot 4!} = \frac{5!\cdot 6}{2\cdot 4!} = \frac{4!\cdot 5\cdot 6}{2\cdot 4!} = \frac{5\cdot 6}{2} = 15
  • C(6,3) = \frac{6!}{3!(6-3)!} = \frac{6!}{3!\cdot 3!} = \frac{5!\cdot 6}{6\cdot 6} = \frac{5!}{6} = \frac{120}{6} = 20
  • C(6,4) = \frac{6!}{4!(6-4)!} = \frac{6!}{4!\cdot 2!} = frac{5!\cdot 6}{2\cdot 4!} = \frac{4!\cdot 5\cdot 6}{2\cdot 4!} = \frac{5\cdot 6}{2} = 15
  • C(6,5) = \frac{6!}{5!(6-5)!} = \frac{6!}{5!} = \frac{5!\cdot 6}{5!} = 6
  • C(6,6) = \frac{6!}{6!(6-6)!} = \frac{6!}{6!} = 1.

(b) The explanations to the solutions is just the calculations.

  • C(7,0) = \frac{7!}{0!(7-0)!} = \frac{7!}{7!} = 1
  • C(7,1) = \frac{7!}{1!(7-1)!} = \frac{7!}{6!} = \frac{6!\cdot 7}{6!} = 7
  • C(7,2) = \frac{7!}{2!(7-2)!} = \frac{7!}{2\cdot 5!} = \frac{6!\cdot 7}{2\cdot 5!} = \frac{5!\cdot 6\cdot 7}{2\cdot 5!} = \frac{6\cdot 7}{2} = 21
  • C(7,3) = \frac{7!}{3!(7-3)!} = \frac{7!}{3!\cdot 4!} = \frac{6!\cdot 7}{6\cdot 4!} = \frac{5!\cdot 6\cdot 7}{6\cdot 4!} = \frac{120\cdot 7}{24} = 35
  • C(7,4) = \frac{7!}{4!(7-4)!} = \frac{6!\cdot 7}{4!\cdot 3!} = frac{5!\cdot 6\cdot 7}{4!\cdot 6} = \frac{120\cdot 7}{24} = 35
  • C(7,5) = \frac{7!}{5!(7-2)!} = \frac{7!}{5!\cdot 2!} = 21
  • C(7,6) = \frac{7!}{6!(7-6)!} = \frac{7!}{6!} = \frac{6!\cdot 7}{6!} = 7
  • C(7,7) = \frac{7!}{7!(7-7)!} = \frac{7!}{7!} = 1

For all the calculations just recall that 4! =24 and 5!=120.

anastassius [24]

Answer: 10350

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount invested = Principal = 180,000

Interest rate = 5.75%

Time = 1 year

The interest that is earned at the end of the first year will be:

= PRT

= 180,000 × 5.75% × 1

= 180,000 × 0.0575 × 1

= 10350
