The number of 5-element subsets from a set containing n elements is equal to the number of 6-element subsets from the same set. What is the value of n? (Hint: the order in which the elements for the subsets are chosen is not important.)

For each of the following problems, you should write your answer as an expression. Do not give the final numeric value. For example, if your answer is the number of 6-permutations of a set with 10 elements, you should write P(10,6) or 10!/4! or 10 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5, but not 151200. 3. A French pastry shop sells 15 different flavors of macarons. Assume that it has an unlimited supply of each type. How many ways are there to choose 12 macarons from these 15 flavors if... 3.1 ...they are all the same flavor? 3.2...they are all different flavors? 3.3 ...half are one flavor and half are a different flavor (for example, half are raspberry and half are chocolate)? 3.4...at most 4 are salted caramel? 3.5 ...at least 2 are pistachio and at least 4 are hazelnut?
(15) Let a, b = Z. Prove that if a is divisible by 4 and b is divisible by 4, then: (a) ab is divisble by 16. (b) a - b is divisible by 4. (c) Is the converse of either part true or false? Justify your answer.
John Wallis and other 17th century mathematicians were struggling with how to fit negative numbers into arithmetic without introducing inconsistencies. Explain the reasoning leading to Wallis's paradoxical claim that, if negative numbers are less than zero, they must be greater than infinity. Wallis's argument depends, in part, on the assertion that (3/-1) = -3. Must this be true? Why or why not? If a student proposed Wallis's argument, how would you respond?
Prove the following statement: P(A|B) := (P(A ∩ B)) / ( P(B) ) if able please write it step by step with some explanation, thank you in advance.
(Discrete Mathematics) If the sum of the digits in (42584525) is divisible by 3 then (42584525) is divisible by 3. The sum of the digits in (42584525) is divisible by 3. ∴ (42584525) is divisible by 3. Determine whether the argument, using the numbers in parentheses, is sound or unsound. Explain your answer and include the number in your explantion
