I don't know what 33 is, but it looks like your #5 equals 20.
 
They have entire portions of websites dedicated to this. Most of them are common sense - for my class years ago, we had the option of doing this for extra credit and I found almost all of them by myself (and somewhat enjoyed it). If you really get stuck, though, I recommend Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_fours) and just searching Google, which almost always yields results (i.e. http://www.dwheeler.com/fourfours/fourfours.txt).

If you don't want just answers - for #33, remember that you can also use decimals in your equations.

I'd double check your current answers, too.
 

Thread 'Finding the number of ways to arrange identical balls in a circle (3 different colors)'

I tried to combine those 2 formulas but it didn't work. I tried using another case where there are 2 red balls and 2 blue balls only so when combining the formula I got ##\frac{(4-1)!}{2!2!}=\frac{3}{2}## which does not make sense. Is there any formula to calculate cyclic permutation of identical objects or I have to do it by listing all the possibilities? Thanks

Thread 'Greatest possible value of a constant in polynomial'

Since ##px^9+q## is the factor, then ##x^9=\frac{-q}{p}## will be one of the roots. Let ##f(x)=27x^{18}+bx^9+70##, then: $$27\left(\frac{-q}{p}\right)^2+b\left(\frac{-q}{p}\right)+70=0$$ $$b=27 \frac{q}{p}+70 \frac{p}{q}$$ $$b=\frac{27q^2+70p^2}{pq}$$ From this expression, it looks like there is no greatest value of ##b## because increasing the value of ##p## and ##q## will also increase the value of ##b##. How to find the greatest value of ##b##? Thanks
