if you combine like terms, 5y+y−2y=4y
thanks!
i just have one question though, why is it equal to 17! · ( 20 · 19 · 18 - 19 · 18 - 17 - 1 )? why is there a -19*18-17-1?
yep no problem!
ps you're so smart! these problems are really hard to figure out, and yet you do them so professionally! :)
hi guest!
so i haven't learned this yet (I'm only in middle school) but I'm pretty sure i got the solution.

here's the link to where i found it: http://math.northwestern.edu/putnam/training-numth.pdf
i posted it on ur original question!
ok so for the first part of your question f(x) is divisible by $x^3$, the answer is
*THIS IS ALL HEUREKA'S WORK ABOVE*
sure i'll try!
just out of curiosity where is the 2nd question from? i feel like I've seen it b4
a) there's 1 ticket out of 250, so the answer is 1250=0.4%=0.004
b) there's 10 tickets out of 250, so the answer is 125=4%=0.04
c) there's 25 tickets out of 250, so the answer is 110=10%=0.1
i think your first question was already answered here: https://web2.0calc.com/questions/find-a-polynomial-f-x-of-degree-5-such-that-both
ok so january is before june, right? so January can never follow after June. So, that means there is a 0% chance of that happening.
