Answer:

  65,280

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the 4×4 grid ...

  \left[\begin{array}{cc}a&b\\d&c\end{array}\right]

where each of a, b, c, d is a 2×2 array of tiles. Let's use the notation a' to represent the 2×2 array "a" rotated right 1/4 turn. For 90° rotational symmetry, we must have b=a', c=b'=a'', d=c'=b''=a'''. That is, once "a" is determined, the rest of the grid is determined. Since "a" consists of 4 tiles, each of which can be black or white, there are 2^4 = 16 patterns that have 90° rotational symmetry.

The same will be true of 270° rotational symmetry, for the same reason.

__

For 180° rotational symmetry, we must have c=a'' and d=b''. Then the combination of "a" and "b" together fully determines the grid. Together, "a" and "b" consist of 8 tiles, so there are 2^8 = 256 ways to pattern the grid so it will have 180° rotational symmetry. (Of those, 16 have 90° symmetry, and 16 have 270° symmetry. The sets are overlapping.)

__

The 16 tiles of the grid can be colored 2^16 = 65,536 different ways. As we have seen, 256 of those colorings result in 180° rotational symmetry. Then the number of colorings that have no rotational symmetry is ...

  65,536 -256 = 65,280 . . . . colorings not rotationally symmetric

hoa [83]

Answer: X = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

First, Take 1 away from 10. 10 - 1 = 9. Then divide 9 by three. 9 divided by three is 3, so X = three.

Only the 3rd one is a quadratic equation if we move the 16 to the other side of the equal sign.

If ab =8 and a square + bsquare =35 then (a-b) cube​
vaieri [72.5K]

\text{Given that,}\\\\ab  = 8 ~ \text{and}~ a^2 +b^2 = 35\\\\\text{Now,}\\\\(a-b)^2 = a^2 +b^2 -2ab\\\\\implies (a-b)^2 =35 - 2 (8) \\\\\implies (a-b)^2 = 19\\\\\implies a-b = \pm\sqrt{19}\\\\\text{Case 1:}\\\\(a-b)^3 = (a-b)^2(a-b)\\\\\implies (a-b)^3 = 19 \left(\sqrt{19}\right)\\\\\text{Case 2:}\\\\(a-b)^3 = (a-b)^2(a-b)\\\\\implies (a-b)^3 = -19 \left(\sqrt{19}\right)
