Ratling [72]

Answer:

Ed and Sheerie save 7.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a rule of three.

Ed and Sherrie save $90 each pay period from their combined paychecks, which total $1200. What percent do Ed and Sherrie save?

How much of $1200 is $90? $1200 is 100% = 1, $90 = x. So

$1200 - 1

$90 - x

$1200x = 90$

$x = \frac{90}{1200}$

$x = 0.075$

Ed and Sheerie save 7.5%.

An experiment consists of choosing objects without regards to order. Determine the size of the sample space when you choose the

sdas [7]

Answer:

$n= 75, 582$

$n= 2300$

$n = 253$

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally the size of the sample sample space is mathematically represented as

$n = \left N } \atop {}} \right. C_r$

Where N is the total number of objects available and r is the number of objects to be selected

So for a, where N = 19 and r = 8

$n = \left 19 } \atop {}} \right. C_8 = \frac{19 !}{(19 - 8 )! 8!}$

$= \frac{19 *18 *17 *16 *15 *14 *13 *12 *11! }{11 ! \ 8!}$

$n= 75, 582$

For b Where N = 25 and r = 3

$n = \left 25 } \atop {}} \right. C_3 = \frac{25 !}{(19 - 3 )! 3!}$

$= \frac{25 *24 *23 *22 ! }{22 ! \ 3!}$

$n= 2300$

For c Where N = 23 and r = 2

$n = \left 23 } \atop {}} \right. C_2 = \frac{23 !}{(23 - 2 )! 2!}$

$= \frac{23 *22 *21! }{21 ! \ 3!}$

$n = 253$

Prove that 7 + 3 root 2 is not a rational number

Tanya [424]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let 7 + 3√2 be an rational number where

7+3√2 = a/b [ a and b are coprime and b is not equal to zero]

3√2= a/b-7

3√2 =( a-7b) /b

√2 = (a-7b) /3b .....(i)

Now ,from equation (i) ,we get that √2 is rational but we know that √2 is irrational. so actually 7 + 3√2 is irrational not rational. thus our assumption is wrong. The number is irrational.
