OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[c _{18 12}\]

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c=0

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

judging from your past questions...this has something to do with arithmetic/geometric sequence?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

is that a wolfram answer again?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah it does

OpenStudy (ash2326):

@katiebugg Please don't post a new question until you are done with your previous one. Thanks :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i got the answer

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

i still dont get what this question means...and why the heck do people LOVE attaching "thanks" at the end of their statements o.O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont get it eaither... the question that is

OpenStudy (ash2326):

@katiebugg I can see that you've posted similar questions. Did you understand the concepts involved?

OpenStudy (ash2326):

@lgbasallote to sound polite thanks:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

@katiebugg are there any other conditions or phrases that come along with the question?

OpenStudy (ash2326):

@katiebugg it's better to take rest now and start afresh tomorrow.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope juse evaluate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and this has to bee done 2mrw sooo

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

can you write it in bigger text?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its a C then 18 and 12

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

but where are 18 and 12..beside C? below C? some of the placements are VERY important

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm subscripts

OpenStudy (ash2326):

@katiebugg are you learning combinations?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yess!!!!!!

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

OH...that makes more sense =_=

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

\[\huge nCr = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}\] does that help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! no

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

for example \[3C2 = \frac{3!}{2!(3-2)!}\]

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

now does it help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is last one then get to go to bed and no ima still lost :(

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

here's another one... \[12C10 \implies \frac{12!}{10!(12-10)!} \implies \frac{12!}{10!2!} \implies \frac{12 \times 11 \times \cancel{10!}}{\cancel{10!} 2!} \implies \frac{12 \times 11}{2 \times 1}\] does that help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i know were the 18 and the 12 go

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

the bigger one is always in the numerator

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

that's just how i remember it heh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k thaks!!!!!!!!

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

welcome ^_^

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

spamming random examples of solutions really does help huh...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:( no i got like the first step and now ima lost

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

oh btw....you're online schooled right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just for summer i wanted to jump ahead soo i took a class

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

hah i knew it..i could tell based on the random jumping of topics haha lol...anyway back to your question

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

what did you get for the first step?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm 18/12(6)

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

hmmm you do mean \[\frac{18!}{12!6!}\] right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and u watchin my questions hahah creeper :P and yess

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

the exclamation points are very crucial...

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

heh it's my avatar duty :p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

love that show ahahaha

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

okay here's a hint for you \[\small 18! \implies 18 \times 17 \times 16 \times 15 \times 14 \times 13\times 12 \times 11 \times 10 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1\] \[12! \implies 12 \times 11 \times 10 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1\] \[6! \implies 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1\] does that help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just told me what the !!! do right

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

hmm?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

okay here's another hint \[\large \frac{18!}{12! 6!} \implies \frac{18 \times 17 \times 16 \times 15 \times 14 \times 13 \times 12!}{(12!)(6!)}\] does that help more?

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

look for something you can cancel..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

cancel the cancellable

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i think
