A) The answer is 5.

nCr = n! / (r! (n - r)!)
n - number of things to be chosen from
r - number of chosen things

There are five seniors in a class: n = 5
<span>I choose one senior: r = 1
</span>
nCr = n! / (r! (n - r)!)
5C1 = 5! / (1! (5 - 1)!)
       = (5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1) / (1 * 4!)
       = 120 / (4 * 3 * 2 * 1)
       = 120 / 24
       = 5

b) The answer is 10.

nCr = n! / (r! (n - r)!)
n - number of things to be chosen from
r - number of chosen things

There are five seniors in a class: n = 5
I choose two seniors: r = 2

nCr = n! / (r! (n - r)!)
5C2 = 5! / (2! (5 - 2)!)
       = (5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1) / ((2 * 1) * 3!)
       = 120 / (2 * (3 * 2 * 1))
       = 120 / (2 * 6)
       = 120 / 12
       = 10


c) The answer is 10.

nCr = n! / (r! (n - r)!)
n - number of things to be chosen from
r - number of chosen things

There are five seniors in a class: n = 5
I choose three seniors: r = 3

nCr = n! / (r! (n - r)!)
5C3 = 5! / (3! (5 - 3)!)
       = (5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1) / ((3 * 2 * 1) * 2!)
       = 120 / (6 * (2 * 1))
       = 120 / (6 * 2)
       = 120 / 12
       = 10


d) The answer is 5.

nCr = n! / (r! (n - r)!)
n - number of things to be chosen from
r - number of chosen things

There are five seniors in a class: n = 5
I choose four seniors: r = 4

nCr = n! / (r! (n - r)!)
5C4 = 5! / (4! (5 - 4)!)
       = (5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1) / ((4 * 3 * 2 * 1) * 1!)
       = 120 / (24 * 1)
       = 120 / 24
       = 5


e) The answer is 1.

nCr = n! / (r! (n - r)!)
n - number of things to be chosen from
r - number of chosen things

There are five seniors in a class: n = 5
I choose five seniors: r = 5

nCr = n! / (r! (n - r)!)
5C5 = 5! / (5! (5 - 5)!)
       = (5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1) / ((5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1) * 1!)
       = 120 / (120 * 1)
       = 120 / 120
       = 1

3(7 + 4)^2 − 14 ÷ 7 find the anwser <br> 50<br> 361<br> 363<br> 586
Lana71 [14]
Ok so firstly the answer is: 361

but here is a arw by step solution

3(7+4)^2-14/7

add 7 and 4 to get 11

3 x 11^2 - 14/7

calculate 11 to the power of 2 (121)

3 x 121 - 14/7

multiply 3 and 121 to get 363

363 - 14/7

divide 14 by 7 to get 2

363-2

subtract the two and you get 361

How would you find the formula to rent a video for 3 days at $10
Levart [38]
V=number of videos, x=total amount
10v*3=x
Since each video is $10, you would have to multiply that by the number of videos. Once you find that you would multiply that number by three, since you will be keeping the videos for 3 days. With that you will find, x, the total amount.
