A game board consists of 64 squares that alternate in color between black and white. The figure below shows square $P$ in the bo

ttom row and square $Q$ in the top row. A marker is placed at $P$. A step consists of moving the marker onto one of the adjoining white squares in the row above. How many 7-step paths are there from $P$ to $Q$ ? (The figure shows a sample path.)

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  A)  28

Step-by-step explanation:

Of the seven moves, 3 must be to the left, and 4 must be to the right. That is, we end up exactly one space right of where we started, so there must be exactly one more move to the right than to the left.

The number of permutations of LLLRRRR is 7!/(4!·3!) = 35. Of those, several must be eliminated, because they result in a path that goes off the right side of the board.

The discounted sequences are ...

  • LRRRRLL
  • RLRRRLL
  • RRLRRLL
  • RRRLLLR
  • RRRLLRL
  • RRRLRLL
  • RRRRLLL"

With these 7 possibilities eliminated from the list, there are 35 -7 = 28 possible paths from P to Q.

What is the slope and equation of a horizontal line ?
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a horizontal line is y = b where b is the y-intercept. Since the slope of a horizontal line is 0, the general formula for the standard form equation, y = mx + b becomes y = 0x +b y = b. Also ,since the line is horizontal, every point on that line has the exact same y value. This y-value is therefore also the y-intercept.

Driede drew a quadrilateral with 4 right angles and opposite sides of the same length. Name all the kinds of polygons that could
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Driede drew a quadrilateral with 4 right angles and opposite sides of the same length.

Since quadrilateral have all angles 90 degrees it can be called a rectangle

2) Since opposite sides equal, it can be called a parallelogram

3) since one pair of sides parallel, it can be called trapezium

4) Since all sides are equal it can be called rhombus

5) since adjacent sides of two pairs are equal it can be called a kite

6) Since all sides and all angles are equal, it is also a square

In general it can also be called a quadrilateral.

Tom ate 1/6 in the morning and 3/6 in the afternoon. How much of the bread did he eat?
frozen [14]

Answer:

4/6 or 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of bread Tom ate= Tom ate in morning + Tom ate in evening

                                          = 1/6 + 3/6

                                          = 3+1/6

                                          = 4/6

                                          = 2/3
