![Theorem If r is nonnegative integer , the number of n−tupples (r_1 ,r_2 ,...,r_n ) , is r_i an integer satisfying the condition r_i ≥ 0 (i=1,2,...,n) r_1 +r_2 +r_3 +...+r_n = r is (((n+r−1)),(( n−1)) ) In this case → { ((n=6)),((r=8)) :} so (((6+8−1)),(( 6−1)) ) = (((13)),(( 5)) ) = ((13.12.11.10.9)/(5.4.3.2.1))=1287](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q134390.png)
