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.

Solve x/9 + 1/3 = -4/3<br> The solution is x = ?
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

x = - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{x}{9} + \frac{1}{3} = - \frac{4}{3} ( multiply through by 9 to clear the fractions )

x + 3 = - 12 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

x = - 15

Elan Coil [88]
Answer: h(x) = (2x - 14)^2 - 19

This will take the vertex from (0,-16), the original equation, to (7,-19), the new equation. This demonstrates the x-value increasing by 7, moving right on the coordinate plane, as well as the y-value decreasing by -3, going down on the coordinate plane.

A culture started with 5,000 bacteria. After 4
Tresset [83]

Answer: After 13 (12) hours, there would be 6,500 bacteria across the culture.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bacteria grew by 500 each 4 hours, so to know how much there would be 13 hours later:

Simple, add 500 bacteria to every 4 hours until you reach 13 hours. 4 = 5.5k, 8 = 6k, 12 = 6.5k. Now, 12 is closer to 13 than anything we would've gotten if we kept going.

And there's your answer.

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

the answer is d.

Step-by-step explanation:

D} the independent variable is cows, and the dependent variable is milk.

The independent variable is cows, and the dependent variable is milk.

The value of the independent variable, often denoted by x, does not depend on the value of another variable. The value of the dependent variable, often denoted by y, depends on the value of the independent variable.
