Gnesinka [82]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

a) 10

b) 15

c) 190

d) {n \choose 2} = \frac{n!}{(n-2)!2!}

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets start with the generic item (d). In order to draw a chord we need to pick two endpoints from the total of n points of the circle and draw the line between them. The total amount of lines we can draw is equivalent to the total pair of points we can pick to draw them.

In other words, we can draw as many chords as the amount of subsets of 2 elements we can pick from a set of n. That number is the combinatorial number of n with 2 given by

{n \choose 2} = \frac{n!}{(n-2)!2!}

a) If n = 5, the answer is

{5 \choose 2} = \frac{5!}{(5-2)!2!} = \frac{120}{6*2} = 10

there are 10 possibilities

b) for n = 6

{6 \choose 2} = \frac{6!}{(6-2)!2!} = \frac{720}{24*2} = 15

15 possibilities

c) for n = 20, we have

{20 \choose 2} = \frac{20!}{(20-2)!2!} = 190

possibilities.

I hope that works for you!

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Number of algae in 7 days = 70.355

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Algae in beginning = 50

Rate of increasing = 5% per day = 0.05

Number of days = 7 days

Find:

Number of algae in 7 days.

Computation:

Number\ of\ algae\ in\ 7\ days = Algae\ in\ beginning(1+Rate\ of\ increasing)^{Number\ of\ days}\\\\Number\ of\ algae\ in\ 7\ days = 50(1+0.05)^7\\\\Number\ of\ algae\ in\ 7\ days = 70.355

Number of algae in 7 days = 70.355

Maya needs $58 to go on a field trip. She has saved $18.50. She earns $6.50 per hour cleaning her neighbor's garden, and she ear
insens350 [35]

She has $18.50 so she needs $39.50.

6.50×3= 19.50

18.50+19.50= 38

5.25×4=21

38+21=59

Maya would have enough money to go on the trip.

Given: P is a point on the perpendicular bisector, I of MN.<br> Prove: PM = PN
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I can't make specific statements about the proof because the midpoint is missing.

Givens

There are two right angles created by where the perpendicular bisector meats MN. Both are 90 degrees.

MN is bisected by the point on MN where the perpendicular meets MN

The Perpendicular Bisector is is common to both triangles.

Therefore the two triangles are congruent by SAS

PM = PN                Parts contained in Congruent triangles are congruent.
