Answer:

(a) How many are there to select 2 pairs of gloves?

10 ways

(b) How many ways are there to select 4 gloves out of the 10 such that 2 of the 4 make a pair. (a pair consists of any right glove and left glove.)

130 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

For the above questions we apply that combination formula

(a) How many are there to select 2 pairs of gloves?

There are 5 pairs of gloves according to the question above, hence:

5C2 = 5!/2! × (5 - 2)!

= 5!/2! × 3!

= 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1/2 × 1 × 3 × 2 × 1

= 10 ways.

Therefore, there are 10 ways to select 2 pairs of gloves

(b) How many ways are there to select 4 gloves out of the 10 such that 2 of the 4 make a pair. (a pair consists of any right glove and left glove.)

i) A way to select 4 gloves out of 10 gloves =

10C4 = 10!/4! ×(10 - 4)!

= 10!/ 4! × 6!

= 210 ways

ii) In order for 2 of the 4 gloves selected to be a pair, note that we have 5 pairs of gloves hence:

5 × 2⁴

= 80 ways.

Therefore, the number of ways which we can select 4 gloves out of the 10 such that 2 of the 4 make a pair. (a pair consists of any right glove and left glove.) = 210 ways - 80 ways

= 130 ways

Use the discriminant to describe the roots of each equation. Then select the best description.
Marrrta [24]
Let's find the discriminant of <span>x^2+9x+14=0.  Here, a=1, b=9 and c=14.

The discriminant is b^2-4ac.  Substituting the above numeric values,
                                9^2-4(1)(14) = 81-56 = 25

The sqrt of 25 is 5.  Thus, your polynomial has two unequal, real roots.

Off the point example:  If the discriminant were zero, your poly would have two real, equal roots.</span>

Solve |p + 2| = 10Solve |p + 2| = 10<br><br> {-12}<br> {-8, 8}<br> {-12, 8}
valentinak56 [21]

By definition, we have

|p+2| = \begin{cases} p+2 &\text{ if } p+2 \geq 0 \\-p-2 &\text{ if } p+2 < 0 \end{cases}

So, we have to solve two different equations, depending of the possible range for the variable. We have to remember about these ranges when we decide to accept or discard the solutions:

Suppose that p+2\geq 0 \iff p \geq -2

In this case, the absolute value doesn't do anything: the equation is

p+2 = 10 \iff p = 10-2 = 8

We are supposing p \geq -2, so we can accept this solution.

Now, suppose that p+2 < 0 \iff p < -2. Now the sign of the expression is flipped by the absolute value, and the equation becomes

-p-2 = 10 \iff -p = 12 \iff p = -12

Again, the solution is coherent with the assumption, so we can accept this value as well.
