The function "choose k from n", nCk, is defined as
  nCk = n!/(k!*(n-k)!) . . . . . where "!" indicates the factorial

a) No position sensitivity.
The number of possibilities is the number of ways you can choose 5 players from a roster of 12.
  12C5 = 12*11*10*9*8/(5*4*3*2*1) = 792
You can put 792 different teams on the floor.

b) 1 of 2 centers, 2 of 5 guards, 2 of 5 forwards.
The number of possibilities is the product of the number of ways, for each position, you can choose the required number of players from those capable of playing the position.
  (2C1)*(5C2)*(5C2) = 2*10*10 = 200
You can put 200 different teams on the floor.

jasenka [17]
The equation of a line is given by y = mx + c; where m is the slope.

y = -1/2 x + 9/2
Therefore, the slope is -1/2 and the y-intercept is 9/2.

A man walked steadily from 11.00am to 2.30pm at 5 kilometres per hour. how far did he walk
DerKrebs [107]
Taken time is from 11.00 am to 2.30 pm (14.30) = 14.30 - 11 = 3.30 hours

We know that D = S* T (D - distance, S - speed , T- time)

So, D= \frac{5km}{h}*3.5h=\boxed {17.5 hours}

Abdul, while driving to school, computes the average speed for his trip to be 20 km/hr. On his return trip along the same route,
gulaghasi [49]
You need to find the total distance and the total time. The total distance is two times the distance to school, 2d.s=d/t=>t=d/sWhere s is speed, d is distance and t is time. So the time taken to get to school is:d/s1and the time taken to get back is:d/s2so the total time is:d/s1+d/s2=d(1/s1+1/s2)So, as speed = distance/time, divide the total distance by the total time:2d/d(1/s1+1/s2)=2/(1/s1+1/s2)=2/(1/20+1/40)=80/3≈26.7km/hr
