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.

The length of a rectangle is 4 centimeters more than twice its width of the perimeter of the rectangle is 86centimeters find the
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Width= 13 cm

length=30cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle be 'L'

And the width of the rectangle be 'W'

Perimeter= 86 cm

According to the statement:

        Length= 2*Width+4\\L=2W+4

Perimeter of a rectangle= 2(Length+Width)

86=2(2W+4+W)\\86/2=3W+4\\43=3W+4\\3W=43-4\\3W=39\\W=39/3\\W=13 cm\\\\Length(L)=2W+4\\=2(13)+4=26+4=30 cm\\Length=30 cm

                               Width= 13 cm

                                length=30cm

Please help with 4-9!!!

4) \frac{3m+15}{2} = 22.5

Multiply by 2 on both sides

3m + 15 = 45

Subtract both sides by 15

3m = 30

Divide both sides by 3

so m = 3

5) 21= \frac{q+35}{8}

Multiply both sides by 8

168 = q + 35

Subtract both sides by 35

q = 133

6) 14 + \frac{4z}{-11} = 66

Subtract 14 from both sides

\frac{4z}{-11} = 52

multiply by -11 on both sides

4x = 572

Divide both sides by 4

x= 143

7) \frac{3}{5} c - 6 = 9

Add 6 on both sides

\frac{3}{5} c  = 15

Multiply both sides by 5

3c = 75

Divide both sides by 3

c = 25

8) \frac{t}{-2} + 17 = -9

Subtract both sides by 17

\frac{t}{-2} =26

Multiply both sides by -2

t = -52

9) -6 = \frac{5p-(-2)}{-7}

Multiply both sides by -7

42= 5p + 2

subtract 2 from both sides

40 = 5p

Divide both sides by 5

so p = 8

. Could someone please explain this to me in detail. I am very confused. Thank you so much!. . A candle is 17 inches tall after
andrew-mc [135]

The generic equation of the line is:

H-H0 = m (T-T0)

Where,

m: slope of the line

(T0, H0): ordered pair belonging to the line.

The slope of the line is:

m =\frac{H2-H1}{T2-T1}

Substituting values we have:

m =\frac{15-17}{5-3}

Rewriting:

m =\frac{-2}{2}

m = -1

Then, choosing an ordered pair we have:

(T0, H0) :( 5, 15)

Substituting values we have:

H-15=-(T-5)

Rewriting the equation:

H-15=-T+5

H=-T+5+15

H=-T+20

Then, for 8 hours we have:

H=-8+20

H=12

Answer:

a linear equation to model the relationship between height H of the candle, and T time is:

H=-T+20

the candle will be 12 inches after burning 8 hours
