Thanks, but are those books only test papers or actually teaching problem solving strategies? Anyways, I was wondering if you can help with the two problems given above?

Trying to find help with the following 2 questions: 1) Terry has a solid shape that has four triangular faces. Three of these faces are at right angles to each other, while the fourth face has side lengths 11, 20 and 21. What is the...

Hi is this in the 4unit course or some random things?

Just wonering if we want to find the negation of an implication, is it wrong to add in the word "IF", and if so why? For example, the negation of "If A, then B" should be "A and not B", but why can't we say "IF A and not B" or are these both correct?

Hmm, i don't quite get this... PHP says if you have more holes than pigeons, then there is at least one hole with more than 1 pigeon. You have 9 pigeons(stamps) and 3 holes(line of 3), so there is at least one hole with more than 1 stamp, which has no relation to the question for the following...

But according to my school, we need to identify what are the pigeons and the pigeon holes in every problem, and there must be more pigeons than pigeon holes for PHP to work, can you elaborate please?

Consider a 3cmX3cm grid, made of nine 1X1cm squares. If you are to put a stamp in the squares, what is the maximum number of stamps you can make without having 3 stamps diagonally, vertically or horizontally? Obviously the answer is 6 by intuition, but how can you use pigeon hole principle to...

can someone help?

please see photo

lol

So obviously the answer is 42C9

Thanks, but i think this is way over the top for 4unit. I saw a way a teacher did it through binary. The analogy goes something like this: 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 is a binary string of length 10. In a binary string of length 50, how many ways are there to have a string with exactly nine lots...

As a quick warm up for tomorrow, can anyone answer with reasons Given 50 cards with the integers 1, 2, 3, ... 50 printed on them, how many ways are there to select 9 distinct cards, such that no two cards have consecutive numbers printed on them?

I think its 42C7 or something

Given 50 cards with the integers 1, 2, 3, ... 50 printed on them, how many ways are there to select 9 distinct cards, such that no two cards have consecutive numbers printed on them? Detailed explanation appreciated! Thanks

Is the formula you used the law of total probability? Is that in the syllabus?

Twelve people sit around two tables labelled A(5 seats) and B(7 seats), how many ways can this be done. The solution says 12C5*4!*6! which i understand works. I was thinking doing 1*11*10*9*8* 1*6*5*4*3*2*1 which gives a different answer. My logic is, the first person that sits down on table A...

Question: Sugar is dissolved in water in the ratio 1:3 to form sugar syrup. This sugar syrup is further diluted with the addition of water so that the ratio of the sugar syrup to the additional water is 5:7. FInd the ratio of sugar to water in the final mixture.

Hi can anyone explain the following? Two identical coins are placed one inside and one outside a thin circular wire, which has twice the diameter of each coin. Each coin is rolled, without slipping, around the wire until it returns to its starting point. If the direction of rotation does not...

Umm if you try expanding and simplifying don't you get 0=0 which is saying we havent found a catesian relation?
