If 8 identical blackboards are to be divided among 4 schools, how many divisions are possible? how many, if each school mustreceive at least 1 blackboard?

response:

if8 boards are to be distributed then the number of ways can be8c4=70
and if every school must get atlest one board then it is possiblein 70-14 ways = 56 ways..
let abcd be the schools

a b c d
0 0 0 8 4c1= 4 (three schools dont get even1 board)
0 0 1 7 4c2= 6 (two schools dont get even 1board)
0 1 1 6 4c3 =4
hence 6+4+4=14.

There are 165 ways to distribute the blackboards between the schools. If at least 1 blackboard goes to each school, then we only have 35 ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

Essentially, this is a problem of balls and sticks. The 8 identical blackboards can be represented as 8 balls, and you assign them to each school by using 3 sticks. Basically each school receives an amount of blackboards equivalent to the amount of balls between 2 sticks: The first school gets all the balls before the first stick, the second school gets all the balls between stick 1 and stick 2, the third school gets the balls between sticks 2 and 3 and the last school gets all remaining balls.

 The problem reduces to take 11 consecutive spots which we will use to localize the balls and the sticks and select 3 places to put the sticks. The amount of ways to do this is As a result, we have 165 ways to distribute the blackboards.

If each school needs at least 1 blackboard you can give 1 blackbooard to each of them first and distribute the remaining 4 the same way we did before. This time there will be 4 balls and 3 sticks, so we have to put 3 sticks in 7 spaces (if a school takes what it is between 2 sticks that doesnt have balls between, then that school only gets the first blackboard we assigned to it previously). The amount of ways to localize the sticks is . Thus, there are only 35 ways to distribute the blackboards in this case.

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is

-12 > a

step-by-step explanation:

-11 > 1 + a

subtract 1 from each side

-11-1 > 1-1+a

-12 > a
