A closet contains 10 pairs of shoes. if 8 shoes are randomly selected, what is the probability that there will be

1 answer:

6 0

There are 10 pairs of shoes. 8 shoes are select.

P = (2/20) (2/19) (2/18) (2/17) (2/16) (2/15) (2/14) (2/13) 
P = 2^8 / (20P8) 

But, any 8 differents shoes can be chosen from 10 pairs. 
so there are 10C8 = 45 ways to do so 
P = 45 * 2^8 / (20C8) 

But, since order does not matter, there are 8! way you can select the 8 different shoes 

P = 8! * 45 * 2^8 / (20C8) 
P = 384/4199 or about 9.145%

Which statement is true about the domain of y = 3(2^-x)? Explain.

SVEN [57.7K]

We want to determine the domain of ${y=3 \cdot 2^{-x}=3 \cdot ({2^{-1}})^x=3 \cdot ({ \frac{1}{2}})^x$

any function of the form $y=f(x)=a \cdot b^x$ is called an "exponential function",
the only condition is that b is positive and different from 1, and a is a nonzero real number.

The domain of such functions is all real numbers.

That is for any x, the expression 3(2^-x) "makes sense".

Answer: The domain is all real numbers

What type of triangle is formed by joining the points D(7, 3), E(8, 1), and

KiRa [710]

D(7, 3), E(8, 1), and F(4, -1)

We calculate the squared distances between the points:

$DE^2 = 1^2 + 2^2 = 5$
