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).

What is the value of h in the figure below? In this diagram, BAD ~ CBD<br> (Help ASAP)
masha68 [24]
To get the value of h we use proportionality:
ΔABC is similar to ΔADB and is similar to ΔBDC this is because they are right triangles. This implies that there corresponding sides are equal. Hence:
AD=25-16=9
using Pythagorean theorem:
c^2=a^2+b^2
then:
AB^2=(h^2+9^2)
Also:
(BC)^2=(AB)^2+(AC)^2

=25^2-(h^2+9^2)

Also:
(BC)^2=(BD)^2+(DC)^2
thus
(BC)^2=h^2+16^2
hence combing the values for (BC)^2 we get:
25^2-(h^2+9^2)=h^2+16^2
simplifying we obtain:
625-h^2-81=h^2+256
putting like terms together
625-81-256=h^2+h^2
288=2h^2
thus
h^2=144
hence
h=√144
h=12 units

Javier writes an integer on a piece of paper. The absolute value of his number is less than 4. Which is true of the possible val
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality expression |x| < 4 where x is unknown. To her the possible values of x, we must undeterstand that the absolute value of a number returns both positive and negative value.

Hence |x| can either return +x or -x

If x is positive, the inequality expression will be x<4.

If the value of x is negative, then -x<4

From -x<4

Multiply both sides by minus sign will change the sense of the inequality sign.

-(-x) > -4

x>-4

If x is greater than -4, then -4<x.

Combining both inequality will give;

-4 < x and x<4

-4<x<4

Hence the possible values of Javier's number are integers between -4 and 4.

The values are -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3.

The following function represents the production cost f(x), in dollars, for x number of units produced by company 1:
tamaranim1 [39]
Company 1: f(x) = 0.25x² - 8x + 600
f(6) = 0.25(6²) - 8(6) + 600 = 9 - 48 + 600 = 561
f(8) = 0.25(8²) - 8(8) + 600 = 16 - 64 + 600 = 552
f(10) = 0.25(10²) - 8(10) + 600 =  25 - 80 + 600 = 545
f(12) = 0.25(12²) - 8(12) + 600 = 36 - 96 + 600 = 540
f(14) = 0.25(14²) - 8(14) + 600 = 49 - 112 + 600 = 537

company 2: 
  x       g(x)
  6        862.2
  8        856.8
10        855
12        856.8
14        862.2

Based on the given information, the minimum production cost of company 2 is greater than the minimum production cost of company 1.
