Answer:

a) 21684

b) 15504

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Distribute the comic books as follows

only to 1 kid          one way   but we have five kids then  5

to two kids                         C₂₀,₂  =  20! /2! ( 20-2)!    =  20*19 /2  =   190

To three   C₂₀,₃   =  20! /3! ( 20 - 3)!       =  20*19*18 /6               =  1140

To four     C₂₀,₄    =   20 ! / 4! ( 20 - 4 )!   = 20*19*18*17 /4*3*2   =  4845

To five     C₂₀,₅    =    20!  /5! (20 - 5 )!    = 20*19*18*17*16/5*4*3*2*1

C₂₀,₅    =  15504

Then total ways of distribution are:

5 + 190 + 1140 + 4845 + 15504   =  21684

b)   C₂₀,₅  we know from a    that is equal to  15504

Let sets A and B be defined as follows.
VashaNatasha [74]
<h3>Given</h3>

  • Set A: A = {-26, -25, -24, -23, - 22, - 21}
  • Set B: B ∈ {x: x is even, x ≥ 6 and x ≤ 20}

<h3>(a) </h3>

<em />

<em>Cardinality means the number of elements in the set.</em>

Cardinality of the set A:

n(A) = 6, since we can count 6 elements.

Set B has even numbers between 6 and 20, both included:

  • B = {6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20}

Then its cardinality is:

  • n(B) = 8

<h3>(b) </h3>

To solve this we need to compare the elements of sets A or B with numbers given:

  • -22 ∈ A, True       ⇒  -22 is listed as element of A
  • 6 ∈ B, True          ⇒  6 is listed as element of B
  • - 21 ∉ A, False     ⇒  - 21 is listed as element of A
  • 2 ∈ B, False         ⇒  2 is not listed as element of B

The area for VEDR would be:
area= VE*VR= 5*6= 30

triangle height=3
VR=6
The area for VMR
area= 1/2 * 3 * 6= 9

Total area= 30 + 9 = 39
