A school debate team has four girls and six boys. A total of four of the team members will be chosen to participate in the distr
alex41 [277]
Procedure:

1) calculate the number of diferent teams of four members that can be formed (with the ten persons)
2) calculate the number of teams tha meet the specification (two girls and two boys)
3) Divide the positive events by the total number of events: this is the result of 2) by the result in 1)

Solution

1) the number of teams of four members that can be formed are:

10*9*8*7 / (4*3*2*1) = 210

2) Number of different teams with 2 boys and 2 girls = ways of chosing 2 boys * ways of chosing 2 girls

Ways of chosing 2 boys = 6*5/2 = 15
Ways of chosing 2 girls = 4*3/2 = 6

Number of different teams with 2 boys and 2 girls = 15 * 6 = 90

3) probability of choosing one of the 90 teams formed by 2 boys and 2 girls:

90/210 = 3/7

Emily took 300 US dollars to the bank to exchange it for Canadian dollars. The exchange rate on that day was 1.25 Canadian dolla
Paha777 [63]

Emily wanted to exchange her 300 US Dollars for Canadian Dollars.

The exchange rate for it was 1.25 Canadian Dollars for 1 US Dollar.

This means that 1 US Dollar = 1.25 Canadian Dollars.

So if we were to follow this pattern,

2 US Dollars = 2 × 1.25 = 2.5 Canadian Dollars

3 US Dollars = 3 × 1.25 = 3.75 Canadian Dollars

4 US Dollars = 4 × 1.25 = 5 Canadian Dollars

So for 300 US Dollars, we'll need to multiply 300 by 1.25.

300 US Dollars = 300 × 1.25 = 375 Canadian Dollars.

Hope it helps. :)

What are the roots of the equation? x^2+24=14×
defon
\begin{gathered} x^2+24=14x \\ x^2-14x+24=0 \end{gathered}

Therefore,

\begin{gathered} x^2-14x+24=0 \\ x^2-2x-12x+24=0 \\ x(x-2)-12(x-2)=0 \\ (x-2)(x-12)=0 \\ x=2 \\ or\text{ } \\ x=12 \end{gathered}

K^2+5k-6=0 quadratic formula
s2008m [1.1K]
I hope this helps you



1.k^2+5k-6=0


a=1


b=5


c= -6


disctirminant =b^2-4ac


disctirminant =5^2-4.1. (-6)


disctirminant =49


x1= -(5)+ square root of 49/2.1



x1=-5+7/2


x1=1



x2= -5- square root of 49/2.1


x2= -5-7/2


x2= -6

Write an equation of the line in standard form.
Andreyy89

Answer:

Ok to make this easier for us we should switch these equations into y=mx+b so that it's easier for us to identify the slope and y-intercept:

to switch into y=mx+b form do this:

3x-y=5

-y=5-3x

y=-5+3x

y=3x+(-5)

2y-15x=8

2y=8+15x

y=4+7 1/2x

y=7 1/2x+4

THe slope of any line in y=mx+b form is m. Therefore in this equation:

y=3x+(-5)     3 is the slope

The y intercept of any line is the +b:

y=7 1/2x+4 -therefore 4 in this equation is our y intercept.

Now we can construct our equation in y=mx+b then into standard form (Ax+By=C)

since 3 is our slope and 4 is our y intercept the equatuon is :

y=3x+4

NOw all we need to do is move this into standard form:

y=3x+4

-3x+y=4

-3x+y=4 is your final answer

-hope this helped
