Answer:

The exam can be answered with exactly 8 answers correct in 6435 ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order is not important.

For example, answering correctly the questions 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 is the same outcome as answering 2,1,3,4,5,6,7,8. So we use the combinations formula to solve this problem.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

"There are 15 questions on an exam. In how many ways can the exam be answered with exactly 8 answers correct?"

Combinations of 8 questions from a set of 15. So

C_{15,8} = \frac{15!}{8!(15-8)!} = 6435

The exam can be answered with exactly 8 answers correct in 6435 ways.

Hatshy [7]
STEP 1:
Find the $ total sold. Multiply total pounds by $2 sale price per pound.

=4,913,977 pounds * $2 a pound
=$9,827,954 total sold

STEP 2:
Divide the total sold above by the 325 shrimpers.

=$9,827,954 ÷ 325
=$30,239.858

Rounded to nearest dollar:
Each of the 325 shrimpers will take home $30,240.

This graph shows transformations between f(x) = 10x and g(x) = a · 10x. Identify the following functions. p(x) = 4 · 10x q(x) =
wel

Anwers:

1. line A

2. line D

3. line B

4. line C

Step-by-step explanation:

I think your question is missed of key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the original one.  

Please have a look at the attached photo.  

My answer:

Given the original function:

f(x) = 10x

and g(x) = a · 10x is the general from of all transformed functions from the above original function.

  • p(x) = 4 · 10x

The graph of this function is stretched vertically => line A

  • q(x) = –4 · 10x

The graph of this function is stretched vertically and is reflected through the x-asix => line D.

  • r(x) = (1/4) x 10x

The graph of this function is compressed vertically => line B

  • s(x) = (-1/4) x 10x

The graph of this function is compressed vertically and is reflected through the x-asix => line C

Hope it will find you well.
