Five pieces can be selected in 1287 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

When the selection has to be made without considering the order of selection, combinations are used.

The formula for combination is:

$C(n,r) = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$

Here

Total candies = n = 13

Candies to be selected = r = 5

Putting the values in the formula

$C(13,5) = \frac{13!}{5!(13-5)!}\\=\frac{13!}{5!8!}\\=1287\ ways$

Five pieces can be selected in 1287 ways

Help me do examples for a function and a non function

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

{(1,2) (3,4) (5,6)} and {(1,2) (1,4) (5,6)}

Step-by-step explanation:

you really want to think of a function as a vending machine. if you press B12 on a vending machine because thats where the chips are, only the chips should come out. in a function, the input value aka x (B12, what youre putting in) should only have one output value aka y, (the chips)

an example of a function would be {(1,2) (3,4) (5,6)}

an important thing to remember is that one output value can belong to multiple input values. there can be chips (output) in both B12 and C12 (inputs) BUT as i said before, there CANNOT be two outputs for one input. B12 cannot give you both chips and a drink.

using this, another example of a function would be {(1,2) (3,2) (5,2)}

an example of an non function would be {(1,2) (1,4) (5,6)} because x, the input value, has multiple output values which is not possible. the output of 1 can not be 2 and 4 at the same time which we can see in the (x,y) coordinates.

A garden has a circular border and a fountain in the center. I measured the distance from one side of the garden to the other, g

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The length of the border is approximately 4 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the garden has a circular border we can apply the formula for the circle's length, which is shown below:

$length = 2*\pi*radius$

Where the radius is half the diameter. The diameter is the distance between two points in the circle going through the center, therefore for this garden the diameter is 1.2 feet and the radius is 0.6 feet. Applying this to the formula gives us:

$length = 2*\pi*0.6\\length = 1.2*\pi\\length = 3.8$

The length of the border is approximately 4 feet.
