Name: Date: Algebra 2 Counting Review Objective: You will correctly solve varied review problems involving counting. Review problems 1. a. Based on the symmetry relationship in Pascal’s Triangle, what other combination number has the same value as 9C5? b. Based on the adding relationship in Pascal’s Triangle, what are the two combination numbers that can be added to get 9C5? c. Show how to find the value of 9C5 using arithmetic (not using a calculator shortcut, and not using Pascal’s Triangle). Show your work. d. Find the value of 9C5 again, by writing Pascal’s Triangle from the beginning through the row that contains 9C5. e. Write a counting problem of your own, whose answer is given by 9C5. Name: Date: Algebra 2 2. a. Identify another combination number that is equal to b. What single combination number is equal to 17C5 12C7 . + 17C6 ? c. What is the easiest way to find the sum 10C0 + 10C1 + 10C2 + 10C3 + 10C4 + 10C5 + 10C6 + 10C7 + 10C8 + 10C9 + 10C10 ? Directions for problems: First write the calculation that needs to be done, then write the answer. Using calculator shortcuts is allowed, but you still must show what calculation you are doing. If you only write the final answer, you will not get full credit. For example, first write 5 · 4, then write 20. Or, first write 5P2, then write 20. Don’t just write 20. 3.
