There are 21 ways Tim choose 2 books from the 7 recommended book

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that Tim must read 2 books from a list of 7 recommended books for his summer reading program

To find: different ways can Tim choose 2 books from the 7 recommended books

This is a combination problem

A combination is a selection of all or part of a set of objects, without regard to the order in which objects are selected

<em><u>The formula for combinations is:</u></em>

n C_{r}=\frac{n !}{r !(n-r) !}

where n represents the number of items, and r represents the number of items being chosen at a time

Here we have to choose 2 books from 7 books

Therefore, n = 7 and r = 2

<em><u>Substituting values in above formula, we get</u></em>

\begin{aligned}&7 C_{2}=\frac{7 !}{2 !(7-2) !}\\\\&7 C_{2}=\frac{7 !}{2 ! \times 5 !}\end{aligned}

For a number n, the factorial of n can be written as,

n !=n \times(n-1) \times(n-2) \dots \dots \times 2 \times 1

Therefore, we get

7 C_{2}=\frac{7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{2 \times 1 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}\\\\7C_2 = 7 \times 3 = 21

Thus there are 21 ways Tim choose 2 books from the 7 recommended book

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Do 60*0.25 and that's 15. 15 tables seat 2 people. we can also confirm this by doing 15*4 which is 60 (the total amount of tables) since 25%*4=100. then we know the rest of them fit 4 and 60-15=45. Now we do (15*2) + (45*4). {one for the 2 seated tables and the other for the 4 seated ones.} 30+180=210 seats.

The elephants at the zoo eat 3 2/3 buckets of bananas each day. The zookeeper bought 7 1/3 buckets of bananas. How many days wil
uranmaximum [27]

Answer: 2 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The monkeys eat 3 ²/₃ buckets of bananas each day. Convert this to an improper fraction:

= 3²/₃ = 11/3 buckets per day

The zookeeper bought 7¹/₃ which is:

= 22/3 buckets

To find out the number of days the bananas will last, divide the buckets bought by the buckets eaten per day:

= 22/3 ÷ 11/3

= 22/3 * 3/11

= 66/33

= 2 days

<em>If dividing fractions, multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction. </em>

Explain the effect f (x)+k has on the graph if the exponential function f (x) Be specific and use complete sentences for full cr
Masteriza [31]
The +k part of the function takes the original function and translates it straight up k units. It's as simple as that.  If your function is the line f(x) = 3x, then the function f(x) = 3x + 4 moves that first function up 4 units.
