Answer:

126

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of apples = 9

Number of favourite Mathematics lecturers = 5

To find number of ways in which 9 (identical) apples can be given to your 5 favourite Mathematics lecturers, find $C(9,5)$

Combination refer to selection of items such that order does not matter.

Use $C(n,p)=\frac{n!}{p!(n-p)!}$

Put $n=9,p=5$

$C(9,5)=\frac{9!}{5!(9-5)!}\\=\frac{9!}{5!4!}\\=\frac{9(8)(7)(6)5!}{5!4!} \\=\frac{9(8)(7)(6)}{4(3)(2)(1)}\\=126$

Y equals 2 + 4.3 X when x equals negative 6

zepelin [54]

I think y = (-23.8)

y=2+4.3x and let x=(-6) so y=2+(4.3 * -6) so y=2+ (-25.8) so y=2-25.8 so y= (-23.8)

6m-6=9m+15 (Show work)

9966 [12]

Answer:

$m=-7$

Step-by-step explanation:

$6m-6=9m+15$

Add 6 to both sides:

$6m-6+6=9m+15+6$

$6m=9m+21$

Subtract 9m from both sides:

$6m-9m=9m+21-9m$

$-3m=21$

Divide both sides by -3:

$\frac{-3m}{-3}=\frac{21}{-3}$

$m=-7$

$(k-2)(k-6)=k^2-2k-6k+12=k^2-8k+12$

So in order to get all the fractions to have a common denominator, we need to multiply $\dfrac k{k-2}$ by $\dfrac{k-6}{k-6}$ , and $\dfrac1{k-6}$ by $\dfrac{k-2}{k-2}$ :

$\dfrac k{k-2}\cdot\dfrac{k-6}{k-6}=\dfrac{k(k-6)}{(k-2)(k-6)}=\dfrac{k^2-6k}{k^2-8k+12}$

$\dfrac1{k-6}\cdot\dfrac{k-2}{k-2}=\dfrac{k-2}{(k-2)(k-6)}=\dfrac{k-2}{k^2-8k+12}$

Now,

$\dfrac4{k^2-8k+12}=\dfrac{(k^2-6k)+(k-2)}{k^2-8k+12}$

As long as $k\neq2$ and $k\neq6$ (which we can't have because otherwise $k^2-8k+12=0$ ), we can cancel $k^2-8k+12$ in the denominators on both sides:

$4=(k^2-6k)+(k-2)$

$4=k^2-5k-2$

$0=k^2-5k-6$

We can factorize the right side:

$0=(k-6)(k+1)$

which tells us that $k=6$ and $k=-1$ are solutions.
