Mathematics
1 answer:
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!

Find the simple interest paid to the nearest cent for each principal, interest rate, and time.
igor_vitrenko [27]

<u>Answer:</u>

The simple interest for $152, 2.5%, 18 month is $5.7

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that, principal amount = $ 152, interest rate = 2.5 % and time period = 18 months.

Now we have to calculate the simple interest for above given values.

We know that, simple interest is given as

=\frac{\text { principal amount } \times \text { interest rate } \times \text { time period in years }}{100}

By substituting the given values, we get

\text { Simple interest }=\frac{152 \times 2.5 \times 18 \mathrm{months}}{100}

By converting 18 months to years we get,

\begin{array}{l}{=\frac{152 \times 2.5 \times \frac{18}{12}}{100}} \\\\ {=\frac{152 \times 2.5 \times \frac{3}{2}}{100}} \\\\ {=\frac{152 \times \frac{3}{2}}{40}} \\\\ {=\frac{76 \times 3}{40}=\frac{19 \times 3}{10}} \\\\ {=\frac{57}{10}=5.7}\end{array}

Hence, the simple interest is $5.7
