 Equations/628135: I have some equations in the following format (finding the nth term of an algebraic expression) ( n ) a^(n-(r-1)) * b^(r-1) r-1 I don't understand what the (n & r-1) terms in the parenthesis at the beginning of the expression are. From the solution, it suggests that the first term ends up resolving to a division of factorials such as: (6! / ((6-3)! * 3!)) where n=6 and r=4... I just dont understand how they got from the first form to the factorial form.1 solutions Answer 395467 by solver91311(17077)   on 2012-07-13 16:15:20 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! I think what you are looking at is (read: "n choose r - 1") which is the number of combinations of things taken at a time. Such as, how many ways can I choose from 10 different books on a shelf if I take them 3 at a time and I don't care what order the three are in when I get them in my hand? In general, is calculated by . Hence, your is exactly correct given and . Here's the logic: Let's say you have 6 things and want to choose 3 of them. There are 6 ways to choose the first one, then since you didn't replace the first one you chose, there are 5 ways to choose the second one for each one of the 6 ways to choose the first one. Then there are 4 ways to choose the third one for each of the 30 ways to pick the first two, which works out to which comes from . But that number is too large by a factor of the number of ways to arrange the three things in your hand, namely , and that is where the other denominator factor comes from. You might want to compare this to the number of permutations of things taken at a time. With permutations, order matters. Such as you have 20 people in your club and you want to know how many different ways you can select a President, Secretary, and Treasurer. Here order matters because Suzy being the president is a different outcome than Suzy being the Secretary, for example. Permutations are calculated . See the difference? By the way, this is also the th coefficient (counting from zero) of the binomial expansion of and the th element of the th row of Pascal's Triangle.

 Travel_Word_Problems/628193: two airplanes leave the airport at the same time, one heading west the other east. their average speeds differ by 10 miles per hour. after 1.5 hours, they are 520 miles apart. what is the approximate average speed of each plane over the 105 hours? 1 solutions Answer 395449 by solver91311(17077)   on 2012-07-13 14:10:23 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Divide the total distance by the given amount of time to get the SUM of the rates. Let be the rate of one plane and then must be the rate of the other plane. Add these two quantities: and set this equal to the sum rate you calculated at the beginning. Solve for and then calculate John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by: Which can be rearranged to: The area, given by length times width, can then be represented as a function of the width for a given perimeter thus: This function is a quadratic that can be put into standard form thus: The graph of such a quadratic is a parabola that is concave down (the lead coefficient is less than zero), meaning that the vertex represents a maximum. The coordinate of the vertex of this parabola is given by: Therefore the width that gives the greatest area rectangle for any given perimeter is the perimeter divided by 4. The two widths are therefore half of the perimeter, hence the two lengths must also be half of the perimeter, and therefore the shape is a square. Divide your given perimeter by 4 and then square the result. John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

Find the length of the shorter piece of board. so far what i have is 2/3x=45 is this right? if so how do you solve?1 solutions Answer 395337 by solver91311(17077) on 2012-07-12 20:42:16 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let's see if your approach makes sense. You said . If a part of the quantity is equal to 45, then must be bigger than 45. If I asked you for two-thirds of the money in your wallet and you handed me$45, you must have started with more than the 45 bucks, right? That means, according to your theory, that one of the pieces of board is longer than the piece it was cut from. Absurd in the extreme. Read the problem carefully. I'm going to assign to represent the measure of the longer piece, just because it is easier to explain the problem that way. Generally you will want to assign your variable to represent the quantity asked for by the problem, but that is just a little inconvenient this time. Let represent the measure of the longer piece. Then we are given that is the measure of the shorter piece. Together (except for a negligible saw kerf) the two boards should add up to the original 45 feet. Solve for and then calculate Step 1: Multiply both sides by 3: Step 2: Collect like terms: Step 3: Multiply by the reciprocal of the coefficient on the variable: Which is the measure of the larger piece. You can either calculate or to find the measure of the shorter piece. John My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
