Answer:

140 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are being asked for the maximum number that can elapse without having 2 subcommitees with the same members and the same chair. Notice that the secretary is not mentioned in this statement, so we can ignore that position.

Now, the maximum number of weeks would be equal to the total possible combinations of subcommitees that can be formed from the 7 individuals commiteed, times the number of options that can sit at the chair possition.

The total possible combinations of subcommitees that can be formed from the 7 individuals can be expressed like the following expression. Notice that there is no a particular order to be considered, so we use the combination formula:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}7\\4\end{array}\right] = \frac{7!}{4!(7-4)!} = 35

Now, each of the 4 individuals have the same probability of being chosen as the chair commitee. So, we have to multiply 4 times the number of possible subcommitees in order to arrive our answer:

x = 35 * 4 = 140

This would be the maximum number of subcommitees that can be formed with no subcommitees with the same members and the same chair occurring.

!!! Help ASAP please!!!!In DEF, sin D = 24/26 What is cos E?
Georgia [21]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Cosine is the ratio of "adjacent" to "hypotenuse"

With respect to the Angle E, the adjacent side is FE and the hypotenuse (always opposite side to 90 degree angle) is DE.

We are given DE = 26, but we need FE. We will solve for FE using Pythagorean Theorem, which tells us:

leg^2 + another leg^2 = hypotenuse^2

So, we will have:

10^2 + FE^2 = 26^2

Now, we solve for FE:

10^2 + FE^2 = 26^2\\100+FE^2=676\\FE^2=576\\FE=24

So,

Cos(E) = adj/hyp = 24/26

Correct answer is A
