HARDEST MATHS Question Ever by XXX5(op): 11:56am On Dec 20, 2014
A finite set "S" is defined by positive integers "x"...in which 5≤x≤50.
Two numbers exist in the set such that their sum is greater than the upper limit of the set by 5. The digits "057" is the mirrored image of the product of the two numbers (r&n). Calculate the solution of "nPr".



HINT: n>r,
S={5,6,...,r,...,27,...,n,...50}
nPr=n!/(n-r)!

(n, r) = (30, 25) since n+r = 55 (that is, their sum is greater than the upper limit of the set by 5)..

If you need assistance with your assignments why not tell us! If you call this difficult, then you've not seen anything.

it has already being solved , of what use is solving it again? huh
Re: HARDEST MATHS Question Ever by XXX5(op): 11:21pm On Dec 20, 2014
Solution:
Upper limit of the set = 50
n + r = 50 + 5
n + r = 55
n = 55 - r
from St 2.
n × r = 750
but n = 55 - r
hence,
r(55 - r) = 750
r² - 55r + 750 = 0
r² - 30r - 25r + 750 = 0
r(r - 30) -25(r - 30) = 0
r = 30 Or 25.
but n + r = 55
for r = 25
n = 55 - 25 = 30.
for r = 30
n = 55 - 30 = 25.
but n + r > 50 by 5.
if r = 25 and n = 30
25 + 30 = 55 > 50 by 5.
and from the question, n > r.
so the right evaluation to be used is
r = 25 and n = 30.
Now, nPr
nPr = n!/(n - r)!
nPr = 30!/(30 - 25)!
nPr = 30!/5!

Re: HARDEST MATHS Question Ever by Bsmartt(m): 11:33pm On Dec 20, 2014
Please why is it that the alphabet mostly used in mathematics are 'a' 'b' 'x' 'y' 'n' and sometimes 'r'. But at the long run the answers are not more than 2 digits. Mathematics is very interesting and technical.

Niggaz b lyk what is 30! ?? grin
