220, because each student, can write 

12 and choose 3 possible combination of reports which is <span><span>n!</span><span><span>(n−k)</span>!k!</span></span>=220.

Answer with explanation:

Number of students in freshman class = 160

Total number of novels = 12

As, each freshman must write 3 reports , means selecting 3 novels out of 12 novels.

As,selection means order of choosing novels is not important.

So, we will apply rule of combinatorics here.

Selecting 3 novels out of 12 novels , is different combinations of novels that a freshman student  can choose to write reports on is given by

    _{3}^{12}\textrm{C}\\\\=\frac{12!}{(12-3)!3!}\\\\=\frac{12!}{9!\times3!}\\\\=\frac{12*11*10*9!}{9!*3*2*1}\\\\=11*10*2=220

Option B:220

What is the equation in point-slope form of a line that passes through the points (-4, -1) and (5, 7)?
Setler [38]

Answer:

y + 1 = 8/9(x +4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope: [7- (-1)]/ [5 - (-4)] = 8/9

Using (-4, -1)

y-(-1) = 8/9[x- (-4)]

y + 1 = 8/9(x +4)

Which equation could be used to calculate the sum of the geometric series? One-third + two-ninths + StartFraction 4 Over 27 EndF
kondaur [170]

Answer:

S 5 = StartFraction one-third (1 minus (two-thirds) Superscript 5 Baseline) Over (1 minus two-thirds) EndFraction

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the geometric series:

1/3+2/9+4/27+8/81+16/243

First we must know that the series is a finite series with just 5terms.

Before we can know the formula to calculate sum of the first five terms of the series, we must determine its common ratio (r) first.

r = (2/9)÷1/3 = 4/27÷2/9= 8/81÷4/27

r = 2/9 × 3/1

r = 2/3

Similarly;

r = 4/27×9/2

r = 2/3

Since all values of r is the as them the common ratio is 2/3.

If r< 1 in geometric series, then the formula for finding its sum is applicable

Sn = a(1-rⁿ)/1-r

a is the first term = 1/3

r is the common ratio = 2/3

n is the number of terms = 5

Substituting the values in the formula we have:

S5 = 1/3{1-(2/3)^5}/1-2/3

This gives the requires equation

S 5 = StartFraction one-third (1 minus (two-thirds) Superscript 5 Baseline) Over (1 minus two-thirds) EndFraction
