Mr. Morrow4/9/2013 – 4/19/2013

- Chapter Objectives -

To use Venn diagrams to illustrate intersections and unions of sets and to use the inclusion-exclusion principle to solve counting problems involving intersections and unions of sets.

To use the multiplication, addition and complement principles to solve counting problems.

To solve problems involving permutation and combinations

To solve counting problems that involve permutations with repetition and circular permutations

To use the binomial theorem and Pascal’s triangle

- Combinatorics -

The theory of counting:

- Counting should be easy but it can get tricky when there are numerous objects to be counted

- Shortcuts (rules) make it easier to count large numbers of objects

- Venn Diagrams -

These diagrams, in which you all should be familiar with, can be used to illustrate and separate sets of number we are counting

Definitions:- The Universal Set is the set of ‘objects’ or elements to be counted and is often represented by the letter U

The number of elements in the universal set is represented by n(U)

In a Venn Diagram the universal set is represented as a rectangle

- A subset is the group of elements that we are interested inIn a Venn Diagram each subset is represented by a circle

- Class Poll -

Who has a brother or brothers?

Who has a sister or sisters?

Who has both brothers and sisters?

Who has neither brothers nor sisters?

We can represent this information using a Venn Diagram

Who wishes they didn’t have their brothers or sisters??

- Venn Diagram -

n(B) =

n(B) =

S

n(S) =

Sn(B ) =

- Venn Diagram -The union of the subsets represents

the people are in either set

UB S

Union - B S

- The Inclusion – Exclusion Principle -

UB S

Because the intersection is counted in each subset, when we determine the union we only count the

intersection once therefore:

- The Complement Principle -

The compliment of set B is written as either B’ or and is the elements not in set B:

UB S

- Complement of the Union -

The Confederacy! Haha

- Complement of the Union -

The complement of the subsets is the number of people who have neither brothers nor sisters

U

n(U) =

B

n(B) =

S

n(S) =

Sn(B ) =

n(B S)

𝑛(𝐵∪𝑆)=𝑛 (𝑈 )−[𝑛 (𝐵 )+𝑛 (𝑆 )−𝑛 (𝐵∩𝑆 )]

- Lets wrap it up -

Sn(B ) =

n(B S)

- Example -

Of the 540 seniors at Central High School, 335 are taking math, 287 are taking science and 220 are taking both math and science. How many are taking neither math or science?

- Example -

To find the number of seniors taking neither math or science we find the

complement of the union which is = 540 – 402 = 138

The number of students taking either math or science can be determinedusing the inclusion – exclusion principle.

= 335 + 287 – 220 = 402

n(M S) n(M) n(S) n(M S)

n(M S)

n(M) = 335 n(S) = 287

= 220

- Homework Questions -

- Multiplication Principle -

The other day we saw how we can use Venn Diagrams to help us visualize concepts of counting. Right now we will see an idea called “Trees”

Example:Try flipping a coin three times, how many possible outcomes are there?

There are eight possible outcomes:HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT

- Multiplication Principle -

Definition: If an action can be performed in n1 ways and for each of these ways another action can be performed in n2 ways, then the two actions can be performed in n1n2 ways.

Practice:How many of you girls stand in yourcloset for at least 5 minutes a day?This is widely not true, but assumeyou only have three button-ups,two blazers and five pairs of pants.

How many outfits are available?Draw a tree to verify

- Multiplication Principle -

It is possible to select from the 3 shirts, 2 blazers and 5 pants by applying the multiplication principle:

Outfits =

- Practice -

The license plate math: In Virginia a standard (none custom) license plate is issued like the one below. How many combinations can be created?

Think about what you see before you answer…

- Addition Principle -

We just saw how many possible license plates could be made using the picture below. Now consider that VA may decide to start making licenses such that the 1st 3 spaces are numbers and the last 4 spaces are letters. How many possible licenses would VA now have?

(3 letter/ 4 numbers)

(3 numbers/ 4 letters)

Ok…now what?This example introduces the concept of mutually exclusive events. We can’t put both a letter and a number into each space – mutually exclusive events cannot be performed together.

- Mutually Exclusive Venn Diagrams -

How do we represent mutually exclusive events?

The addition principle states that if two actions are mutually exclusive, and the first can be done n1 ways and the second can be done n2 ways, the one action or the other can be done in

n1 + n2 ways.

how many choices does he have?

4. If 10 runners compete in a race, in how many ways can 1st, 2nd and 3rd place prizes be awarded?

9! = 362,880 and 23! = 2.58 x 1022

Outfits = 6 x 3 = 18 or 6 + 3 = 9

Costa Rican tags = 9 x 9 x 9 x 9 x 9 = 59049

Prizes = 10 x 9 x 8 = 720

- Homework Questions -

- Permutations -

Given n symbols, how many non-repetitive lists of length r can be made from the n symbols in which order matters? By using the multiplication principle to obtain the answer

By cancellation this value can also be written as:

We summarize this as follows:The number of non-repetitive lists of length r whose entriesare chosen from a set of n possible entries is .

- Permutations -

For this class, you will represent this as:

Where: n is the number of objects/ elements available to be chosen

r is the number of objects/ elements actually chosen

- Combinations -

Without diving too deep into the math behind this next idea…

Imagine we build from Permutations but instead we are curious about solutions in which order does not matter.

For this class, you will represent this as:

Where: n is the number of objects/ elements available to be chosen

r is the number of objects/ elements actually chosen

- Ummm?? -

Write down all the possible arrangements of the letters MOPHow many arrangements were you able to create?

Write down all the distinguishable arrangements of the letters MOMHow many arrangements were you able to create?

Why was the total number of arrangements different for the two sets?

- Permutations with Repetition -

If an element is repeated in an arrangement, then fewer permutations result.

Where: n1 = the number of elements of type 1,

n2 = the number of elements of type 2 … nk = the number of elements of type k.

This gives us the number of distinguishable permutations of n elements

Consider MEXICO and CANADA

Each of the letters in Mexico is different

A is repeated three times in CANADA

- Homework Questions -

- Investigation -Determine:

Can you see any patterns?How do the number of terms relate to the exponent?

Is there a pattern to the exponents in each term?

Do you detect any relationship for the coefficients of each term?

- Aint nobody got time to do all that -Our objective now is to develop a method for expanding binomials of the where n is a positive integer

When we expand (FOIL) the linear factors in a binomial the result is a polynomial with n+1 terms

Each term in the polynomial is of the form where k is a coefficient and y and z are exponents.

The hard part is finding a simple way to determine k, y, and z.

- Binomial Theorem -If n is a positive integer then:

Where each term is in the form:

- Therefore for any term t of a binomial to the power the coefficient

- The sum of the exponents of a and b is always n. (y + z = n)

- The exponent of the first monomial of ‘a’, y = n – (t – 1)

- The exponent of the second monomial of ‘b’, z = t – 1

- Example -Find the first four terms in the expansion of

1st termk = 21C(1-1) = 21C0 = 1y = 21 – (1 – 1) = 21z = 1 – 1 = 0therefore the first term is the product of 1 x a21 x b0 = a21

2nd termk = 21C(2-1) = 21C1 = 21y = 21 – (2 – 1) = 20z = 2 – 1 = 1therefore the second term is 21a20b1 = 21a20b

3rd termk = 21C(3 – 1) = 21C2 = 210y = 21 – (3 – 1) = 19z = 3 – 1 = 2therefore the third term is 210a19b2

4th termk = 21C(4 – 1) = 21C3 = 1330y = 21 – (4 – 1) = 18z = 4 – 1 = 3therefore the fourth term is 1330a18b3

- Example -What is the 8th term of ?

1. k = 10C8-1 k = 10C7 k = 120

2. The exponent for x = 10 – (8 – 1) = 3

3. The exponent for -2y = 8 – 1 = 7

4. Therefore the 8th term is= 120x3(-2y)7

= 120x3(-2)7y7

= 120(-128)x3y7

= - 15360x3y7

3rd term = 8C2(2a)6(-b2)2 = (28)(64)a6b4 = 1792a6b4

4th term = 8C3(2a)5(-b2)3 = (56)(-32)a5b6 = -1792a5b6

5th term = 8C4(2a)4(-b2)4 = (70)(16)a4b8 = 1120a4b8

6th term = 8C5(2a)3(-b2)5 = (56)(-8)a3b10 = -448a3b10

7th term = 8C6(2a)2(-b2)6 = (28)(4)a2b12 = 112a2b12

8th term = 8C7(2a)1(-b2)7 = (8)(-2)ab14 = -16ab14

9th term = 8C8(2a)0(-b2)8 = (1)(1)b16 = b16

(2a – b2)8 = 256a8 - 1024a7b2 +1792a6b4 -1792a5b6 +1120a4b8 -448a3b10 +112a2b12 -16ab14 +b16
