Suppose that 5 identical red wooden blocks and 6 identical white wooden blocks are to be stacked, one on top of another, to form one tall tower of blocks. how many different colour patterns can result?

462

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we will calculate the number of ways we can arrange total number of wooden blocks. Lets say each of them are independent, so altogether we have blocks. And number of ways to arrange 11 blocks would simply be: .

Now, we need to figure out the number of ways 5 red wooden blocks can be arranged, it is and the number of ways 6 white wooden blocks can be arranged is . These are the ways they can be arranged in themselves.

So, we can now find how many different colour patterns can result by:

So in this case it is:

Therefore, there could be 462 colour patterns.

they would have to work 32 hours.

step-by-step explanation:

given expression is .

now we need to simplify the given expression .

we know that square root is equivalent to the power 1/2. so that means we can take half of the exponents to get the square root of given expression.

expanding that will give a very very large number so let's keep answer in exponent form.
