In how many ways can you place 50 identical balls in six distinct urns such that each urn contains an odd number of balls

Answer:

80730

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is c(27,5)=27*26*25*24*23/5!. Here is why.

Let us solve a simpler problem. In how many ways 25 identical balls can be placed in six distinct urns such that no urn is empty?

25 balls in a row make 24 places for five dividers, so the answer is c(24,5).

2. Next problem. In how many ways 50 identical balls can be placed in six distinct urns such that no urn is empty and each urn contains even number of balls.

We group 50 balls in 25 pairs, so the answer is the same as in the previous problem which is

c(48/2,5)=c(24,5).

Let us denote the content of each urn as

u(1),u(2),…u(6). Note that each u(i) is even. Denote u(i) as u(i)=2k(i) where k is a natural number. We have

2k(1)+2k(2)+2k(3)+2k(4)+2k(5)+2k(6)=50.

3. Now let us proceed to the original problem where odd number of balls in each urn is required.

We have

2k(1)-1+2k(2)-1+2k(3)-1+2k(4)-1+2k(5)-1+2k(6)-1=50 or

2k(1)+2k(2)+2k(3)+2k(4)+2k(5)+2k(6)=56.

So the original problem reduces to previous problem where even number of balls in each urn is required but the total number of balls is 56 instead of 50.

Its answer is c(54/2,5)=c(27,5).

How much money will there be in an account at the end of 10 years if $3000 is deposited at 3% interest compounded
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

$4040.57

Step-by-step explanation:

A=P(1+(r/n))^nt

P = Principal = 3000

r = rate = 0.03

n = no. times payed each year = 2

t = years = 10

A = 3000(1 + (0.03/2))^(2x10)

A = 3000(1.015)^20

A = 4040.57 (2.d.p)

Hope this helped!

Who can do this question, I don't know how to do...this is difficult for me....who can teach me?
cupoosta [38]
We know that AB and CD are parallel.  This allows many assumptions.
From that we know that angle A and angle D are congruent. 
That means that x + 8 = 2x - 22 and we can solve for x
x + 8 = 2x - 22
x + 30 = 2x
30 = x or x = 30

We know from the figure that angle B is x or now that we solved for x is 30 degrees.  Also, we know that both angle A and angle D are 38 degrees.  Now we can solve for the vertical angle E which has a measure of y degrees.  A triangle has the sum of its angles equal to 180 degrees.

We can set up an equation like this 30 + 38 + y = 180
30 + 38 + y = 180
68 + y = 180
y = 112 degrees

That is how you would solve this problem
