+586 There exist positive integers n and k such that
\(32 \binom{6}{6} + 31 \binom{7}{6} + 30 \binom{8}{6} + \dots + 3 \binom{35}{6} + 2 \binom{36}{6} + \binom{37}{6} = \binom{n}{k}\)
Enter the ordered pair (n, k)
a=1;b=2; c =a nCr b; if(c==61523748, goto loop, goto next);loop:printa,b;next:a++;if(a<100, goto2, discard=0;a=1;b=b+1;if(b<100, goto2, 0)
[n , k] = 39, 8 and 39, (39 - 8) =39, 31 = 61,523,748
wait so what is your answer guest #2
because 61,523,748 is not an ordered pair. and you need parentheses around it too, be sure to clarify what the answer is
