Concept explainers

Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.

Chapter 3.17, Problem 17.16E

Consider the following formula: k k n = n k − 1 n − 1 .

Give two different proofs. One proof should use the factorial formula for k n (Theorem 17.12). The other proof should be combinatorial; develop a question that both sides of the equation answer.
