The order in which gifts are received doesn't matter - if child X gets toy 1 then toy 2, it's the same as giving child X toy 2 then toy 1 - so we are counting combinations.

The eldest child receives 3 of the 7 gifts, so they have

\dbinom 73 = \dfrac{7!}{3!(7-3)!} = 35

possible choices of gifts.

The next child receives 2 of the remaining 4 gifts, so they have

\dbinom 42 = \dfrac{4!}{2!(4-2)!} = 6

choices.

The last child receives the remaining 2 gifts, and there is only

\dbinom22 = \dfrac{2!}{2!(2-2)!} = 1

way to select the gifts for them.

By the multiplication using, the total number of ways of distributing 7 gifts among 3 children in the prescribed way is 35 • 6 • 1 = 210.

Solve the equations 1. 16x^2-1=0 2. 36z^2 96z 15=0
Allisa [31]
16x^2-1=0 2 

16x^2-1=0 2:x 


16x^2=1
 
   |Add \ 1 \ to \ both \ sides|

x^2= \dfrac{1}{16}   |Divide \ both \ sides \ by \ 16|<span>
</span>
x^2= \sqrt{\dfrac{ \sqrt{1}}{ \sqrt{16}}}  |Take \ the \ square \ root \ of \ both \ sides|

x= \dfrac{1}{4}

If f(x)= mx+ c , f (1)=5 and f(-2)=-1​
taurus [48]

Answer:

y = 2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope.

\frac{ 5 + 1}{1 + 2 }  =  2

so m is 2

y = 2x + c

Plug one the equations in to find c.

- 1 = 2( - 2) + c

- 1 =  - 4 + c

3 = c

so the equation is

y = 2x + 3
