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

Pie

Consider number 17. You know that

17=9+8.

Then for negative numbers you have the same rule (with respect to sign -):

-17=(-9)+(-8).

Since (-9)+9=9+(-9)=9-9=0, you have that

-17+9=(-9)+(-8)+9=(-9+9)+(-8)=0+(-8)=-8.

Answer: -17=(-9)+(-8).

Please see the image and help with this homework problem. thank you!

we have the function

$E=\sin \frac{\pi}{14}t$

Part a

For t=7

substitute in the given function

$\begin{gathered} E=\sin \frac{\pi}{14}7 \\ E=1 \end{gathered}$

For t=14

$\begin{gathered} E=\sin \frac{\pi}{14}14 \\ E=0 \end{gathered}$

For t=21

$\begin{gathered} E=\sin \frac{\pi}{14}21 \\ E=-1 \end{gathered}$

For t=28

$\begin{gathered} E=\sin \frac{\pi}{14}28 \\ E=0 \end{gathered}$

For t=35

$\begin{gathered} E=\sin \frac{\pi}{14}35 \\ E=1 \end{gathered}$

Observation: The values of E varies from -1 to 1, including the zero

Part B

Remember that

The Period goes from one peak to the next

Period=2pi/B

B=pi/14

Period=(2pi)/(pi/14)=2pi*14/pi=28

<h2>the period is 28 days</h2>
