Answer:

32760 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of Candidates = 15

Job Positions = 4

Required:

Number of outcomes

This question represent selection; i.e. selecting candidates for job positions;

This question can be solved in any of the following two ways

Method 1.

The first candidate can be chosen from any of the 15 candidates

The second candidate can be chosen from any of the remaining 14 candidates

The third candidate can be chosen from any of the remaining 13 candidates

The fourth candidate can be chosen from any of the remaining 12 candidates

Total Possible Selection = 15 * 14 * 13 * 12

<em>Total Possible Selection = 32760 ways</em>

<em></em>

Method 2:

This can be solved using permutation method which goes thus;

nPr = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}

Where n = 15 and r = 4

So;

nPr = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!} becomes

15P4 = \frac{15!}{(15-4)!}

15P4 = \frac{15!}{11!}

15P4 = \frac{15*14*13*12*11!}{11!}

15P4 = 15*14*13*12

15C4 = 32760

<em>Hence, there are 32760 ways</em>

What expression represents the area???
galben [10]

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area is width times height.

(5p-7)(3p+4)

Multiply using FOIL method

(First, outer, inner, last)

(5p*3p) + (5p*4) + (-7*3p) + (-7*4) =

15p² + 20p -21p - 28 =

15p²-p -28 =

B is the closest one. They might have made a typo.

What is the difference of the polynomials?
Vilka [71]

Answer:

8r^6s^3-5r^5s^4+r^4s^5+5r^3s^6

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to simplify;


(8r^6s^3-9r^5s^4+3r^4s^5)-(2r^4s^5-5r^3s^6-4r^5s^4)


We expand the bracket to obtain;


8r^6s^3-9r^5s^4+3r^4s^5-2r^4s^5+5r^3s^6+4r^5s^4


We now group the like terms to obtain;


8r^6s^3-9r^5s^4+4r^5s^4+3r^4s^5-2r^4s^5+5r^3s^6


We now simplify to get;

8r^6s^3-5r^5s^4+r^4s^5+5r^3s^6


The correct answer is C

The graph of function g(x) is a transformation of the graph of function f(x) = x2.g(x) =
mariarad [96]

Given:

The graph of function g(x) is a transformation of the graph of function f(x) = x²

As shown: the graph of g(x) is open down

So, we will reflect f(x) over the x-axis, the function will be ⇒ -x²

And there is horizontal compression so, the factor of compression will be > 1

So, the function will be ⇒ -2x²

Finally, there is a vertical shift down 3 units

So,

g(x)=-2x^2-3

Consider the leading term of the polynomial function. What is the end behavior of the graph? 2x^7-8x^6-3x^5-3
jeyben [28]

Answer:

\lim_{x \to -\infty}y = -\infty\\ \lim_{x \to \infty}y = \infty

Step-by-step explanation:

Due to the fact that the degree of the polynomial is odd, we know one end must go up and the other down. Because the leading coefficient is even, we know that as x approaches negative infinity, y approaches negative infinity as well. As x approaches positive infinity, y approaches positive infinity.
