This is a combination problem, since order does not matter. Specifically, it is an 18- choose - 4. 
₁₈C₄ = 18! ÷ (4!(18-4)!
= 18! ÷ (4! (14!))               The 14! cancels out in the numerator/denominator
= 18 x 17 x 16 x 15 ÷ (4 x 3 x 2)
= 3,060

lbvjy [14]
If we assume the number of polo shirts have been sold is x, the number of casual shirts have been sold will be 4x.
x*18+4x*9=$1080
(18+36)x=$1080
54x=$1080
x=20

The number of casual shirts have been sold is 4*20=80

the straight line L has the equation 4y=5x+3. Point A has the coordinates (3,-2) Find the equation of the line straight line tha
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

y = - \frac{4}{5} x + \frac{2}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange 4y = 5x + 3 into this form by dividing the 3 terms by 4

y = \frac{5}{4} x + \frac{3}{4} ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = \frac{5}{4}

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m} = - \frac{1}{\frac{5}{4} } = - \frac{4}{5} , thus

y = - \frac{4}{5} x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (3, - 2) into the partial equation

- 2 = - \frac{12}{5} + c ⇒ c = - 2 + \frac{12}{5} = \frac{2}{5}

y = - \frac{4}{5} x + \frac{2}{5} ← equation of perpendicular line

A group of engineers is building a parabolic satellite dish whose shape will be formed by rotating the curve y=ax 2 about the y-
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

a = \frac{1}{2}. Surface Area = \frac{4}{3}ft^{2}. and area of the Dish = \frac{4}{3}ft^{2}+pi4^{2} = \frac{4}{3}ft^{2}+50.27=51.6ft^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) Constant. y(x) = ax^{2} that is the curve that we need to rotate around the y axis to get the parabola with diameter of 8 feet and 2 meter depth that statement is translated in mathematics as x = -4 to 4 and y = 0 to 2.

y max = 2, x max = 4 setting up a equation with a unknown gives

2=a4 and  a = \frac{1}{2}.

so we have now.

y(x) = \frac{1}{2}x^{2} (Done with solving for a Constant).

(2) Surface Area.

Setting Up surface integral.

(i) range in x = 0 to 4.

(ii) range in y = 0 to 2.

integral is.

Integral(0-2)[{integral[(0-4)\frac{1}{32}x^{2}]}]dy

Evaluating this integral gives. \frac{4}{3}ft^{2}.

and area is surface area + area of the circle with 8ft diameter.

= \frac{4}{3}ft^{2}+pi4^{2} = \frac{4}{3}ft^{2}+50.27=51.6ft^{2}...

Note the Difference between area and aurface area.!
