How many ways are there to divide $12$ people into a group of $3$, a group of $4$, and a group of $5$, if Henry has to be in the

group of $4$
Mathematics

The total number of such groupings of 12 people into groups of 3, 4, and 5, regardless of Henry's placement, is

\dbinom{12}3 \dbinom94 \dbinom55 = 27,720

where

\dbinom nk = \dfrac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}

is the binomial coefficient. This is because we initially pick 3 people from the total 12, leaving 9 available; then 4 people from these 9, leaving 5 more; then the remaining 5 are all selected.

If Henry claims a spot in the group of 4, then we effectively can only pick 3 people from the 8 non-Henrys to get

\dbinom{12}3 \dbinom83 \dbinom55 = \boxed{12,320}

such groupings.

What is the upper bound of the function f(x)=4x4−2x3+x−5?
inessss [21]

Answer:

(no global maxima found)

Step-by-step explanation:

Find and classify the global extrema of the following function:

f(x) = 4 x^4 - 2 x^3 + x - 5

Hint: | Global extrema of f(x) can occur only at the critical points or the endpoints of the domain.

Find the critical points of f(x):

Compute the critical points of 4 x^4 - 2 x^3 + x - 5

Hint: | To find critical points, find where f'(x) is zero or where f'(x) does not exist. First, find the derivative of 4 x^4 - 2 x^3 + x - 5.

To find all critical points, first compute f'(x):

d/( dx)(4 x^4 - 2 x^3 + x - 5) = 16 x^3 - 6 x^2 + 1:

f'(x) = 16 x^3 - 6 x^2 + 1

Hint: | Find where f'(x) is zero by solving 16 x^3 - 6 x^2 + 1 = 0.

Solving 16 x^3 - 6 x^2 + 1 = 0 yields x≈-0.303504:

x = -0.303504

Hint: | Find where f'(x) = 16 x^3 - 6 x^2 + 1 does not exist.

f'(x) exists everywhere:

16 x^3 - 6 x^2 + 1 exists everywhere

Hint: | Collect results.

The only critical point of 4 x^4 - 2 x^3 + x - 5 is at x = -0.303504:

x = -0.303504

Hint: | Determine the endpoints of the domain of f(x).

The domain of 4 x^4 - 2 x^3 + x - 5 is R:

The endpoints of R are x = -∞ and ∞

Hint: | Evaluate f(x) at the critical points and at the endpoints of the domain, taking limits if necessary.

Evaluate 4 x^4 - 2 x^3 + x - 5 at x = -∞, -0.303504 and ∞:

The open endpoints of the domain are marked in gray

x | f(x)

-∞ | ∞

-0.303504 | -5.21365

∞ | ∞

Hint: | Determine the largest and smallest values that f achieves at these points.

The largest value corresponds to a global maximum, and the smallest value corresponds to a global minimum:

The open endpoints of the domain are marked in gray

x | f(x) | extrema type

-∞ | ∞ | global max

-0.303504 | -5.21365 | global min

∞ | ∞ | global max

Hint: | Finally, remove the endpoints of the domain where f(x) is not defined.

Remove the points x = -∞ and ∞ from the table

These cannot be global extrema, as the value of f(x) here is never achieved:

x | f(x) | extrema type

-0.303504 | -5.21365 | global min

Hint: | Summarize the results.

f(x) = 4 x^4 - 2 x^3 + x - 5 has one global minimum:

Answer: f(x) has a global minimum at x = -0.303504

What is 31=xy+15? for segment addition
kati45 [8]

Answer:

x = 16/y

or

y =16/x

Step-by-step explanation:

31=xy+15

subtract 15 from both sides of the equation:

xy = 16

x = 16/y

or

y =16/x

HELP PLZ!!!!!!! Is the following graph a function?
Stels [109]
This graph does not represent a function because the x-intercepts repeat themselves several times. In order for a graph or group of coordinates to be a function, there must be only one of a particular x-coordinate.

Which trig ratio? Can you solve this??
pogonyaev

Step-by-step explanation:

There are six trigonometric ratios, sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant and cotangent. These six trigonometric ratios are abbreviated as sin, cos, tan, csc, sec, cot. These are referred to as ratios since they can be expressed in terms of the sides of a right-angled triangle for a specific angle θ.
