If n is a positive integer, how many 5-tuples of integers from 1 through n can be formed in which the elements of the 5-tuple ar

e written in increasing order but are not necessarily distinct? In other words, how many 5-tuples of integers (h, i, j, k, m) are there with 1 ≤ h ≤ i ≤ j ≤ k ≤ m ≤ n? As in Example 9.6.3, you can represent any ordered 5-tuple of integers (h, i, j, k, m) with 1 ≤ h ≤ i ≤ j ≤ k ≤ m ≤ n as a string of n − 1 vertical bars and 5 crosses, with the position of crosses indicating which 5 integers from 1 to n are included in the 5-tuple. Thus, the number of 5-tuples is the same as the number of strings of n+4 vertical bars and 5 crosses, which is n(n+1)(n+2)(n+3)(n+4) 120​ .

Answer:

\frac{(n+4)*(n+3)*(n+2)*(n+1)*n}{120}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

5 tuples implies that:

n = 5

(h,i,j,k,m) implies that:

r = 5

Required

How many 5-tuples of integers (h, i, j, k,m) are there such thatn\ge h\ge i\ge j\ge k\ge m\ge 1

From the question, the order of the integers h, i, j, k and m does not matter. This implies that, we make use of combination to solve this problem.

Also considering that repetition is allowed:  This implies that, a number can be repeated in more than 1 location

So, there are n + 4 items to make selection from

The selection becomes:

^{n}C_r => ^{n + 4}C_5

^{n + 4}C_5 = \frac{(n+4)!}{(n+4-5)!5!}

^{n + 4}C_5 = \frac{(n+4)!}{(n-1)!5!}

Expand the numerator

^{n + 4}C_5 = \frac{(n+4)!(n+3)*(n+2)*(n+1)*n*(n-1)!}{(n-1)!5!}

^{n + 4}C_5 = \frac{(n+4)*(n+3)*(n+2)*(n+1)*n}{5!}

^{n + 4}C_5 = \frac{(n+4)*(n+3)*(n+2)*(n+1)*n}{5*4*3*2*1}

^{n + 4}C_5 = \frac{(n+4)*(n+3)*(n+2)*(n+1)*n}{120}

Multiply the sum of -13/8 and 5/12 by their difference.​
REY [17]

Answer:

1421/576

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum = - 13/8 + 5/12 = - 39/24 + 10/24 = - 29/24

Difference = - 13/8 - 5/12 = - 39/24 - 10/24 = - 49/24

Sum * Difference = (-29/24)*(-49/24) = 1421/576
