Mr Peter has 4 children. x are in   class C and y are in class D. x≥1 and  y≥1. Show that the number of possibility   to choose at random and simultaneous  2 children in same class verify this  equation p(x)=x^2 −4x+6

x in class C, 4−x in class D.  p=C_2 ^x +C_2 ^(4−x) =((x(x−1)+(4−x)(4−x−1))/2)  =x^2 −4x+6

$${x}\:{in}\:{class}\:{C},\:\mathrm{4}−{x}\:{in}\:{class}\:{D}. \\ $$$${p}={C}_{\mathrm{2}} ^{{x}} +{C}_{\mathrm{2}} ^{\mathrm{4}−{x}} =\frac{{x}\left({x}−\mathrm{1}\right)+\left(\mathrm{4}−{x}\right)\left(\mathrm{4}−{x}−\mathrm{1}\right)}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$={x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4}{x}+\mathrm{6} \\ $$
