You can put this solution on YOUR website!I'm assuming order does not matter.
C(n, r) = (n!)/(r!(n-r)!)
C(45, 6) = (45!)/(6!*(45-6)!)
C(45, 6) = (45!)/(6!*39!)
C(45, 6) = (45*44*43*42*41*40*39!)/(6!*39!)
C(45, 6) = (45*44*43*42*41*40)/(6!)
C(45, 6) = (45*44*43*42*41*40)/(6*5*4*3*2*1)
C(45, 6) = (5864443200)/(720)
C(45, 6) = 8145060
So there are 8145060 different ways.

Calling all math genius please help me! 1 solutions
Answer 340696 by jim_thompson5910(28595) on 2011-10-02 00:05:27 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!Let x = height, so x+30 is the horizontal distance
So use the pythagorean theorem to find the height
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
x^2 + (x+30)^2 = 150^2
x^2 + x^2+60x+900 = 22500
x^2 + x^2+60x+900 - 22500 = 0
2x^2+60x-21600 = 0
2(x^2+30x-10800) = 0
x^2+30x-10800 = 0
Now use the quadratic formula to solve for x
x = (-B +- sqrt( B^2-4AC ))/(2A)
x = (-(30) +- sqrt( (30)^2-4(1)(-10800) ))/(2(1))
x = (-30 +- sqrt( 900+43200 ))/(2(1))
x = (-30 +- sqrt( 44100 ))/(2(1))
x = (-30 +- 210)/(2)
x = (-30 + 210)/(2) or x = (-30 - 210)/(2)
x = (180)/(2) or x = (-240)/(2)
x = 90 or x = -120
Now throw out the negative solution to get the only solution of x = 90
So the height is 90 ft and the horizontal distance is 120 ft (since 90+30 = 120)

But then i was told it was just 12!
just want a conformation, thank you ahead of time 1 solutions
Answer 340695 by jim_thompson5910(28595) on 2011-10-01 23:56:34 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!Since order matters, you'll use the permutation formula
P(n,r) = n!/(n-r)!
In this case, n = 12 and r = 3
P(n,r) = n!/(n-r)!
P(12,3) = (12!)/((12-3)!)
P(12,3) = (12!)/(9!)
P(12,3) = (12*11*10*9!)/(9!)
P(12,3) = 12*11*10
P(12,3) = 1320
So there are 1320 different ways to choose 3 separate officeholder positions.

Looking at the expression  , we can see that the first coefficient is  , the second coefficient is  , and the last coefficient is  .
Now multiply the first coefficient  by the last coefficient  to get  .
Now the question is: what two whole numbers multiply to  (the previous product) and add to the second coefficient  ?
To find these two numbers, we need to list all of the factors of  (the previous product).
Factors of  :
1,2,3,4,6,7,9,12,14,18,21,28,36,42,49,63,84,98,126,147,196,252,294,441,588,882,1764
-1,-2,-3,-4,-6,-7,-9,-12,-14,-18,-21,-28,-36,-42,-49,-63,-84,-98,-126,-147,-196,-252,-294,-441,-588,-882,-1764
Note: list the negative of each factor. This will allow us to find all possible combinations.
These factors pair up and multiply to  .
1*1764 = 1764
2*882 = 1764
3*588 = 1764
4*441 = 1764
6*294 = 1764
7*252 = 1764
9*196 = 1764
12*147 = 1764
14*126 = 1764
18*98 = 1764
21*84 = 1764
28*63 = 1764
36*49 = 1764
42*42 = 1764
(-1)*(-1764) = 1764
(-2)*(-882) = 1764
(-3)*(-588) = 1764
(-4)*(-441) = 1764
(-6)*(-294) = 1764
(-7)*(-252) = 1764
(-9)*(-196) = 1764
(-12)*(-147) = 1764
(-14)*(-126) = 1764
(-18)*(-98) = 1764
(-21)*(-84) = 1764
(-28)*(-63) = 1764
(-36)*(-49) = 1764
(-42)*(-42) = 1764
Now let's add up each pair of factors to see if one pair adds to the middle coefficient  :
| First Number | Second Number | Sum | | 1 | 1764 | 1+1764=1765 | | 2 | 882 | 2+882=884 | | 3 | 588 | 3+588=591 | | 4 | 441 | 4+441=445 | | 6 | 294 | 6+294=300 | | 7 | 252 | 7+252=259 | | 9 | 196 | 9+196=205 | | 12 | 147 | 12+147=159 | | 14 | 126 | 14+126=140 | | 18 | 98 | 18+98=116 | | 21 | 84 | 21+84=105 | | 28 | 63 | 28+63=91 | | 36 | 49 | 36+49=85 | | 42 | 42 | 42+42=84 | | -1 | -1764 | -1+(-1764)=-1765 | | -2 | -882 | -2+(-882)=-884 | | -3 | -588 | -3+(-588)=-591 | | -4 | -441 | -4+(-441)=-445 | | -6 | -294 | -6+(-294)=-300 | | -7 | -252 | -7+(-252)=-259 | | -9 | -196 | -9+(-196)=-205 | | -12 | -147 | -12+(-147)=-159 | | -14 | -126 | -14+(-126)=-140 | | -18 | -98 | -18+(-98)=-116 | | -21 | -84 | -21+(-84)=-105 | | -28 | -63 | -28+(-63)=-91 | | -36 | -49 | -36+(-49)=-85 | | -42 | -42 | -42+(-42)=-84 |
From the table, we can see that the two numbers  and  add to  (the middle coefficient).
So the two numbers  and  both multiply to and add to
Now replace the middle term  with  . Remember,  and  add to  . So this shows us that  .
 Replace the second term  with  .
 Group the terms into two pairs.
 Factor out the GCF  from the first group.
 Factor out  from the second group.
 Factor out the GCF
 Condense the terms.
So  completely factors to
