Answer 1

This looks like a online assignment question -.-. it has a problem number ......

Answer 2

@amistre64

Answer 3

its a copy/paste from an online assignment, but there is no way to connect to an online school; so its not deletable. Just bewary on how an answer is presented :)

Answer 8

@amistre64 even test is said. this is obvious cheating

Answer 9

Answer 10

so can u plz help me i really dont understand any of this

Answer 11

number of possible outcomes reads vague to me. It sounds like a probability question but it reads terribly to me

Answer 12

spose we have 4 coins

hhhh

1 4 6 4 1 is the pattern that will emerge for all possible outcomes; giving us a total of 16

if 3 coins are tossed: 1 3 3 1 = 8 outcomes; so x*x aint it and x+x aint it.

2*x aint it either; so if one of those is an exponent, that might be the working solution.

2^4 = 16
2^3 = 8

etc ....

Answer 13

1 5 10 10 5 1 = 32 = 2^5

so yeah, i think my idea might have merit

Answer 14

thank u i understand know (:
