workings pls...

nP3=n!/(n-3)!=n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)!/(n-3)!=n(n-1)(n-2). -------(1)

nC4=n!/[(n-4)!4!]=n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)(n-4)!/[(n-4)!4!]=n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)/4!=n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)/24. --------(2)

(1)+(2)=6; => n(n-1)(n-2)+n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)/24=6. ----------(3). Multiply both sides of (3) by 24.

=>24 n(n-1)(n-2)+n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)=144.----------(4).

=>factorising (4) we have n(n-1)(n-2)(21+n)=144.......(5).

from (5) one can see that n=3 satisfies the equation.


Hence the solution is n=3.

n=3

N cannot be 3 as 3C4 will never exist. You don't expect us to select 4 items out of 3, do u?

That was a wrong question, it should be Np3÷Nc4 =6, and n=7

Wrong sir, your answer '3' violates the rules of distribution... 3c4 will never exist. The question is wrong in the first place!

The question is Np3÷NC4=6 and n=7



N! /(n-3)! × (n-4)!4!/n! =6

(n-4)!4!/(n-3)(n-4)! =6

4!/(n-3) =6

6(n-3) =4!

6n-18=24

N=42/6

N=7

N=7
It is true that nCr only exist when n>=r >=0 (in other to avoid negative factorial). However, if you narrow down on the meaning of this formula, you quickly realize that it just means how many number of ways in which a given 'r' quantity can be gotten from an 'n' quantity (e.g. 8C5 means how many ways can you choose 5 eggs given 8 eggs). In this scenario 3C4 means how many number of ways can you choose 4 eggs given 3 eggs---the logical answer is 0 ways (because you cannot). So in as much as n>=r for the above stated formula to exist, the converse can indeed be logically derived in the same way 0^0 does not exist (this can be proved) but for convenience some real analysis textbooks assume 0^0=1 (the good ones state this assumption in the footnotes).

PS: n=7 is only correct if the OP admits the question is erroneous and it is the way you have stated it.

What is the difference among all of them please.

(a+b) 2 = a2 = 2ab = b2
Open the brackets: (a+b)(a+b) [+ signs in both brackets gives all postives]

(a-b)2 = a2 -2ab + b2
[- sign in both brackets. The number/letter after the sign will be positive because multiplying a negative by a negative gives a positive]

(a+b)(a-b) [ one - sign and one + sign] That's the difference of 2 squares.
(a+b)(a-b) = a2 - ab + ab -b2 = a2 -b2


So a2 -b2 = (a+b)(a-b)

NOT (a-b)2 (see that answer above)

and a2 + b2

I don't think you can expand that any further. That means that

a2 + b2 does not equal (a+b)2 (See the first point).

So..


(a+b)2 = (a + b)(a - b) = a2 +2ab +b2

(a-b)2 = (a - b)(a - b) = a2 -2ab +b2

a2 - b2 = (a + b)(a - b) AKA Difference of 2 squares!

a2 +b2 = a2 + b2

Re: Nairaland Mathematics Clinic by Mechanics96(m): 3:14pm On Jan 31, 2018
weldone bro, let me just add that a²+b² =(a+b)² - 2ab

It is called sum of two squares...see algebraic processes in your mathematics textbook for more.

The 2 people(couple) are taken as 1, since they cannot be separated in the course of the arrangement. Therefore, (5-1) people are to be arranged. That is 4! But the two people can be interchanged ( arranged) in 2! Ways
That makes it 4! × 2! = 48ways

Let us assume the married couple to be CD and the rest people to be X. So the possible arrangements are

CDXXX
XCDXX
XXCDX
XXXCD.

4 arrangement of which in each arrangement you have 3!(6) ways . In total 24 ways. But you can also swap the couple
so that D comes before C

DCXXX
XDCXX
XXDCX
XXXDC.

which is another 24 ways, making the total to be 48 ways.

Ans 48 ways.
