Can someone help?

OpenStudy (dawnr):

here it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What does the ( ) mean? for example for A, 2008 choose 1003?

OpenStudy (dawnr):

that's how it's written

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Permutation? combination? or else?

OpenStudy (dawnr):

i think it could be permutation but i'm not sure..i totally forgot in which segment does these types of equations belong.. :/

OpenStudy (dawnr):

it's not a combination ..if that helps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:) @dan815 @ikram002p please help.

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

\[\left(\begin{matrix}n \\ k\end{matrix}\right)= \frac{ n! }{ k!(n-k)! }\]

OpenStudy (dawnr):

yup that's it! xD

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

yeah thats it ! \(\Huge \left(\begin{matrix}2008\\ 1003\end{matrix}\right)= \frac{ 2008! }{ 1003!(1005)! }\) \(\Huge \left(\begin{matrix}2008\\ 1004\end{matrix}\right)= \frac{ 2008! }{ 1004!(1004)! }\) \(\Huge \left(\begin{matrix}2008\\ 1005\end{matrix}\right)= \frac{ 2008! }{ 1005!(1003)! }\)

OpenStudy (dawnr):

so do i need to apply all of it for each number or?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, apply all of them, take out your calculator and times each of the numbers.!! hihihi good luck

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

just compare the Denominators

OpenStudy (dawnr):

hah! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol,lol,lol LOL,LOL

OpenStudy (dawnr):

the answer is a=c<b but how do i calculate that..

OpenStudy (dawnr):

should c be bigger than b by this :/

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

like this for a :- 1003! 1003 ! (1004*1005) for b :- 1003 ! 1003! (1004*1004) for c:- 1003! 1003! (1004 *1005)! so a=c and a>b

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

typo , b>c and b>c

OpenStudy (dawnr):

wasn't a (1004*1003)

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

1005!=1005 *1004 *1003!

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

do u know how to find n! ?

OpenStudy (dawnr):

well if n was 5 it should be 5*4*3*2*1 ..right?! o.O

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

yeah !

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

familiar with pascal triangle ?

OpenStudy (dawnr):

yea..

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

and below property : \[\large \large \binom{n}{r} = \binom{n}{n-r}\]

OpenStudy (dawnr):

okay
