Tim must read 2 books from a list of 7 recommended books for his summer reading program. In how many different ways can Tim choo

Marianna [84]

There are 21 ways Tim choose 2 books from the 7 recommended book

Solution:

Given that Tim must read 2 books from a list of 7 recommended books for his summer reading program

To find: different ways can Tim choose 2 books from the 7 recommended books

This is a combination problem

A combination is a selection of all or part of a set of objects, without regard to the order in which objects are selected

The formula for combinations is:

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

where n represents the number of items, and r represents the number of items being chosen at a time

Here we have to choose 2 books from 7 books

Therefore, n = 7 and r = 2

Substituting values in above formula, we get

$\begin{aligned}&7 C_{2}=\frac{7 !}{2 !(7-2) !}\\\\&7 C_{2}=\frac{7 !}{2 ! \times 5 !}\end{aligned}$

For a number n, the factorial of n can be written as,

$n !=n \times(n-1) \times(n-2) \dots \dots \times 2 \times 1$

Therefore, we get

$7 C_{2}=\frac{7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{2 \times 1 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}\\\\7C_2 = 7 \times 3 = 21$

Thus there are 21 ways Tim choose 2 books from the 7 recommended book

Write the equation of the following graph in intercept form.

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

A) $f(x)=0.2(x+2)(x-5)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph has x-intercepts at $x=5$ and $x=-2$ , so our factors for the polynomial will be $x+2$ and $x-5$ . This means we can rule out options B and D.
