just use the minus sign

Good but you have compounded at 6% for 6 years

not at 66% for 66 years which is what the question asks for :)

I wish I could get interest like that on my savings!!

14000(1+0.33)^(66*2) = 312280339853234696132.5953902073585167838324118204281050907580348068612312312280339853234696132.5953902073585167838324118204281050907580348068612312 = 3.1228033985323469613259539020735851678383241182042810509e20

That is more money than you or I could even imagine. 

When the graph of a certain function f(x) is

shifted 2 units to the right

and stretched vertically by a factor of 2 (meaning that all y-coordinates are doubled), the resulting figure is identical to the original graph. Given that f(0)=0.1, what is f(10)?

f(x)=2f(x-2)

\(Given\qquad f(0)=0.1 \qquad find \;\;f(10)\\ f(x)=2f(x-2)\\ f(2)=2f(2-2)=2*f(0)=2*0.1=0.2\\ f(4)=2f(4-2)=2*f(2)=2*0.2=0.4\\ f(6)=2f(6-2)=2*f(4)=2*0.4=0.8\\ f(8)=2f(8-2)=2*f(6)=2*0.8=1.6\\ f(10)=2f(10-2)=2*f(8)=2*1.6=3.2\\~\\ f(10)=3.2 \)

What is it in now; hours, minutes, seconds, km or what?

Please do not delete you question, even if you do not need help anymore :)

(b) We have 10 standard 6-sided dice, all different colors. In how many ways can we roll them to get a sum of 20?

Ive been off counting  (yes I do I agree, it is not a good use of my time )

This is what I have got

I rearranged this and got:

I am reasonably confident that my method is correct but there could be lots of careless mistakes.

Heureka often comes along and fixes it up when I do questions like this :)

Anyway I get  81,408 different ways of getting a total of 20 with 10 unique dice :)

If you really want me to give a link to my spreadsheet I should be able to do that :)

Thanks Chris,

I had not seen that calculator before.  :/

a) We have three standard 6-sided dice, colored red, yellow, and green. In how many ways can we roll them to get a sum of 9? The dice are colored so that a red 2, yellow 3, and green 4 is a different roll from red 3, yellow 4, and green 2.

These numbers are small enough so I can just count them

(b) We have 10 standard 6-sided dice, all different colors. In how many ways can we roll them to get a sum of 20?

Yea you can think about this one by thinking of the logic that happened with my first one.

I might think on it later. :)

Thanks Chris, much appreciated.

I still have to think about it.

Maybe it is still too early in the morning for me. I have to have some excuse.   

I rather like this question coming back up again.

I want to spend more time on questions like this.

Thanks again Heureka :)

Still Ginger has got a point, helperid, about you presenting you own answer or partial answer...
