On two parallel lines \(a\) and \(b\), the points \(A_1, A_2, \dots , A_m\) and \(B_1, B_2, \dots , B_n\) are chosen, respectively, and all of the segments of the form \(A_iB_j\), where \(1 \leq i \leq m\), \(1 \leq j \leq n\). How many intersection points will there be if it is known that no three of these segments intersect at one point?

How many rational terms are contained in the expansion of

a) \((\sqrt 2 + \sqrt[4]{3})^{100}\);

b) \((\sqrt 2 + \sqrt[3]{3})^{300}\)?

How many six-digit numbers exist, for which each succeeding number is smaller than the previous one?

Why are the equalities \(11^2 = 121\) and \(11^3 = 1331\) similar to the lines of Pascal’s triangle? What is \(11^4\) equal to?

Calculate the following sums:

a) \(\binom{5}{0} + 2\binom{5}{1} + 2^2\binom{5}{2} + \dots +2^5\binom{5}{5}\);

b) \(\binom{n}{0} - \binom{n}{1} + \dots + (-1)^n\binom{n}{n}\);

c) \(\binom{n}{0} + \binom{n}{1} + \dots + \binom{n}{n}\).

Find \(m\) and \(n\) knowing the relation \(\binom{n+1}{m+1}: \binom{n+1}{m}:\binom{n+1}{m-1} = 5:5:3\).

Which term in the expansion \((1 + \sqrt 3)^{100}\) will be the largest by the Newton binomial formula?

How many four-digit numbers can be made using the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, if:

b) the repetition of digits is allowed;

c) the numbers should be odd and there should not be any repetition of digits?
