To find the number of ways Magnus can give out 12 identical stickers to 2 of his friends, we can use a concept from combinatorics called "stars and bars." We represent the 12 stickers as 12 stars (*...), and we need to divide them among 2 friends by placing 1 divider between the stars for the first friend to receive the stickers and 1 divider between the stars for the second friend to receive the stickers.
 

For example, if Magnus gives all 12 stickers to the first friend, it would look like this: || (where * represents a sticker and | represents a divider). The number of ways to distribute the stickers can be calculated using the formula: n + k choose k, where n is the number of stars (stickers) and k is the number of dividers (friends). In this case, n = 12 stickers and k = 2 friends. Plugging these values into the formula: 14 choose 2 = 14! / (2! 12!) = 14 13 / (2 * 1) = 91

Therefore, Magnus can give out the 12 identical stickers to his 2 friends in 91 different ways.

1. Give one sticker to each friend, leaving 10 stickers to distribute.

2. Imagine the remaining 10 stickers as stars and 1 separator bar.

3. You have a total of 10 stars and 1 bar to divide the stickers.

4. Use the formula "n + k - 1 choose k - 1" where n is the number of stars and k is the number of bars.

5. Plug in n = 10 and k = 2 into the formula.

6. The number of ways to distribute the stickers among friends is 11.

Therefore, Magnus can give out the 12 identical stickers to his 2 friends in 11 different ways, ensuring each friend receives at least one sticker.

To calculate the probability that Dhruv gets exactly 7 chocolates out of the 8 chocolates Miyu is giving out to her 5 friends, we need to determine the total number of ways Dhruv can receive 7 chocolates and then divide that by the total number of ways the chocolates can be distributed.
 

1. Calculate the total number of ways Dhruv can receive 7 chocolates: - Dhruv can receive 7 chocolates in 1 way. - The remaining 1 chocolate can be given to any of the other 4 friends, which can happen in 4 ways.

2. Calculate the total number of ways the 8 chocolates can be distributed among the 5 friends: - Each chocolate can be given to any of the 5 friends, so there are 5^8 ways to distribute the chocolates.

3. Calculate the probability: - The probability that Dhruv gets exactly 7 chocolates is the number of ways Dhruv can get 7 chocolates divided by the total number of ways to distribute the chocolates. - Therefore, the probability is 4 / 5^8.

To find the number of solutions to the equation u + v + w + x + y + z = 2, where u, v, w, x, y, z are nonnegative integers and x is at most 1, we can break it down into cases based on the value of x:

1. If x = 0: In this case, the equation becomes u + v + w + y + z = 2. Since the sum of the nonnegative integers is 2, there are 6 choose 4 = 15 solutions to this equation.

2. If x = 1: In this case, the equation becomes u + v + w + y + z = 1. Similarly, there are 5 choose 4 = 5 solutions to this equation.
 

Therefore, the total number of solutions to the given equation is 15 + 5 = 20.

Given that 15 members can paint the wall in 45 minutes, we can calculate the rate at which one member paints the wall.Let's denote the rate at which one member paints the wall as R (wall per minute). If 15 members paint the wall in 45 minutes, then the combined rate of all 15 members is 15R. So, 15R = 1 wall painted in 45 minutes. Thus, the rate of one member painting the wall is R = 1/15 wall per minute.

Now, we need to find out how long it would take 20 members to paint the same wall. Let T be the time (in minutes) it would take 20 members to paint the wall. The combined rate of all 20 members is 20R, and we know that the rate of one member is R = 1/15 wall per minute.

Therefore, 20R = 20/15 = 4/3 walls per minute. We want to find out how long it would take 20 members to paint 1 wall, so we set up the equation: T * (4/3) = 1. Solving for T: T = 3/4 minutes.
 

Therefore, it would take 20 members 3/4 minutes to paint the wall.

To find the total number of students who are in the math club or the science club (or both) at Annville Junior High School, we can follow these steps:

1. There are 3 students in the math club.

2. 3 students are members of both the math and science clubs.

3. The number of students in the science club is twice the number in the math club. Given this information, we can calculate the number of students in the science club: - Number of students in the math club: 3 - Number of students in the science club = 2 number in the math club = 2 3 = 6 Next, we find the total number of students who are in the math club or the science club (or both) using the principle of inclusion-exclusion: Total students = Number in math club + Number in science club - Number in both clubs Substitute the values we found: Total students = 3 + 6 - 3 = 6

Therefore, the total number of students who are in the math club or the science club (or both) is 6.

To find the area of triangle AMN, we can use the fact that the area of a triangle is equal to half the product of its base and height. In this case, we need to find the height of triangle AMN with respect to base MN.
 

1. Let D be the point where the line through I parallel to BC intersects MN.

2. Since I is the incenter of triangle ABC, we know that ID is perpendicular to MN.

3. Therefore, triangle IDM is a right triangle with ID as its height and MD as its base.

4. By properties of parallel lines, triangles ABC and AMN are similar.

5. This means that the ratio of corresponding side lengths in these triangles is equal. So, AB/AM = BC/MN.

6. Since AB = 5 and BC = 8, we can find MN as (5/8) × MN = 5, which gives MN = 40/5 = 8.

7. Now, ID is the height of triangle IDM, and MD = MN = 8.

8. Using the Pythagorean theorem in triangle IDM, we can find ID as ID^2 + 4^2 = 5^2, which gives ID = 3.

9. The area of triangle AMN is then (1/2) × MD × ID = (1/2) × 8 × 3 = 12. Therefore, the area of triangle AMN is 12

To find the probability that point P is closer to point O than to any of the side lengths in equilateral triangle XYZ, we need to understand the geometry involved. Here are the steps to solve this problem:

1. Draw equilateral triangle XYZ with center O.

2. The region closer to O than any of the side lengths forms an equilateral triangle inside triangle XYZ. Let's call this inner equilateral triangle LMN.

3. The area closer to the side lengths than to O consists of three smaller equilateral triangles that are outside the inner equilateral triangle.

4. Calculate the ratio of the area of the inner equilateral triangle to the total area of triangle XYZ. This ratio will give us the probability that point P is closer to O than to any of the side lengths.

5. The ratio of the areas of two similar figures is equal to the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides. Since the side length of the inner equilateral triangle is half that of triangle XYZ, the area ratio is (1/2)^2 = 1/4.

6. Therefore, the probability that a randomly chosen point P is closer to O than to any of the side lengths is 1/4 or 25%. This explanation should help you understand how to calculate the probability in this scenario.

To simplify the expression $\dfrac{1}{\sqrt2+\sqrt3}+\dfrac{1}{\sqrt2-\sqrt3}$, we need to rationalize the denominators of the fractions.
 

Let's start by rationalizing the first fraction: $\dfrac{1}{\sqrt2+\sqrt3}\cdot \dfrac{\sqrt2-\sqrt3}{\sqrt2-\sqrt3}= \dfrac{\sqrt2-\sqrt3}{2-3}=-(\sqrt2-\sqrt3)=-\sqrt2+\sqrt3$

Next, rationalize the second fraction: $\dfrac{1}{\sqrt2-\sqrt3}\cdot \dfrac{\sqrt2+\sqrt3}{\sqrt2+\sqrt3}= \dfrac{\sqrt2+\sqrt3}{2-3}=-(\sqrt2+\sqrt3)=-\sqrt2-\sqrt3$

Now, add the two rationalized fractions together:$-\sqrt2+\sqrt3+(-\sqrt2-\sqrt3)=-\sqrt2+\sqrt3-\sqrt2-\sqrt3=-2\sqrt2$

Therefore, the simplified expression is $-2\sqrt2$.
