This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

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 are written in increasing order but are not necessarily distinct.

In other words, how many 5-tuples of integers  ( h, i , j , m ), are there with  n ≥ h ≥ i ≥ j ≥ k ≥ m ≥ 1 ?

Answer:

the number of 5-tuples of integers from 1 through n that can be formed is [ n( n+1 ) ( n+2 ) ( n+3 ) ( n+4 ) ] / 120

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Any quintuple ( h, i , j , m ), with n ≥ h ≥ i ≥ j ≥ k ≥ m ≥ 1

this can be represented as a string of ( n-1 ) vertical bars and 5 crosses.

So the positions of the crosses will indicate which 5 integers from 1 to n are indicated in the n-tuple'

Hence, the number of such quintuple is the same as the number of strings of ( n-1 ) vertical bars and 5 crosses such as;

\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}5&+&n&-&1\\&&5\\\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}n&+&4\\&5&\\\end{array}\right]

= [( n + 4 )! ] / [ 5!( n + 4 - 5 )! ]

= [( n + 4 )!] / [ 5!( n-1 )! ]

= [ n( n+1 ) ( n+2 ) ( n+3 ) ( n+4 ) ] / 120

Therefore, the number of 5-tuples of integers from 1 through n that can be formed is [ n( n+1 ) ( n+2 ) ( n+3 ) ( n+4 ) ] / 120

What is the slope of the line through the points (0, 0) and (2, 6)
EleoNora [17]
For this problem, you would use the slope formula, or m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1). So, let's put in what we know.

The x's and y's correspond with our coordinates. So let's plug that in:

m=(6-0)/(2-0)
m=(6)/(2)
m=3

So, the slope of your line is 3.

The sum of 3 times the value of x and 2 is equal to 4 less than 5 times the value x. Which equation can be used to find the valu
Komok [63]

Answer:

Write the written problem into an equation to get:

3x +2 = 5x -4

To solve:

Add 4 to each side:

3x+6 = 5x

Subtract 3x from each side:

2x = 6

Divide both sides by 2:

x = 6/2

x = 3
