Amy's grandmother gave her 3 identical chocolate chip cookies and 4 identical sugar cookies. In how many different orders can Am

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

chocolate chip cookie first: 15 ways

chocolate chip cookie last: 15 ways

chocolate chip cookie first and last: 5 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a total of 7 cookies.

Is she eats a chocolate cookie first, she will have 2 chocolate cookies and 4 sugar cookies (6 in total).

So, to find the number of different orders that Amy can eat the remaining cookies, we just need to calculate a combination of 6 choose 2 (that is, the number of ways we can put the 2 chocolate cookies among the 6 cookies) or a combination of 6 choose 4 (same thing, but for the sugar cookies):

C(6,2) = 6! / (2! * 4!) = 6 * 5 / 2 = 15 ways

Is she eats a chocolate cookie last, she will have 2 chocolate cookies and 4 sugar cookies (6 in total), so the problem is solved again with a combination of 6 choose 2:

C(6,2) = 15 ways

Is she eats a chocolate cookie first and last, she will have just 1 chocolate cookie left and 4 sugar cookies (5 in total), so the problem is solved with a combination of 5 choose 1 or a combination of 5 choose 4:

C(5,1) = 5! / (1! * 4!) = 5 ways

What is the equation of the line shown in the graph?

postnew [5]

The slope-intercept form:

$y=mx+b$

m - slope

b - y-intercept

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have the points (-3, 1) and (2, -4). Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{-4-1}{2-(-3)}=\dfrac{-5}{5}=-1$

Therefore we have the equation of a line

$y=-1x+b\to y=-x+b$

Put the coordinates of the point (-3, 1) to the equation:

$1=-(-3)+b$

$1=3+b$ <em>subtract 3 from both sides</em>

$-2=b\to b=-2$

<h3>Answer: y = -x - 2</h3>

Why is it important to be able to write a fraction in simplest form?

Alex

This is important because if you were to answer in complex fractions instead of its simplest form, you would have a tough time multiplying complex fractions together. You would get a HUGE denominator or numerator, which makes things difficult. It is important to write a fraction in its simplest form because of exactly that; making things simple. Would you rather multiply 64/132*64/132 or 1/2*1/2?
