Answer:

There are 35 possible group of 3 socks from a total of 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Number of unique socks = 7

Number of possible selection = 3

Required

Number of ways she can make her selection.

The question can be categorised as combination; reason being that words like "take" as used in the question points to combination or selection.

To solve this, we make use of combination formula.

nCr = nPr/r!

Where n = 7 and r = 3

By substitution, we have

7C3 = 7P3÷3!

Taking it one at a time

7P3 = 7!÷(7-3)!

7P3 = 7! ÷ 4!

7P3 = 7 * 6 * 5 * 4! ÷ 4!

7P3 = 7 * 6 * 5

7P3 = 210

3! = 3 * 2 * 1

3! = 6.

So,

7C3 = 210 ÷ 6

7C3 = 35.

Hence, there are 35 possible group of 3 socks from a total of 7

What is the slope of the line that passes through (-4, 6) and (-6, 20)?
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have two points, we can use the slope formula

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = ( 20-6)/(-6- -4)

    = ( 20-6)/ ( -6+4)

    = 14/-2

    = -7

Find the domain of the function y = 3 tan(23x)
solmaris [256]

Answer:

\mathbb{R} \backslash \displaystyle \left\lbrace \left. \frac{1}{23}\, \left(k\, \pi + \frac{\pi}{2}\right)  \; \right| k \in \mathbb{Z}  \right\rbrace.

In other words, the x in f(x) = 3\, \tan(23\, x) could be any real number as long as x \ne \displaystyle \frac{1}{23}\, \left(k\, \pi + \frac{\pi}{2}\right) for all integer k (including negative integers.)

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent function y = \tan(x) has a real value for real inputs x as long as the input x \ne \displaystyle k\, \pi + \frac{\pi}{2} for all integer k.

Hence, the domain of the original tangent function is \mathbb{R} \backslash \displaystyle \left\lbrace \left. \left(k\, \pi + \frac{\pi}{2}\right)  \; \right| k \in \mathbb{Z}  \right\rbrace.

On the other hand, in the function f(x) = 3\, \tan(23\, x), the input to the tangent function is replaced with (23\, x).

The transformed tangent function \tan(23\, x) would have a real value as long as its input (23\, x) ensures that 23\, x\ne \displaystyle k\, \pi + \frac{\pi}{2} for all integer k.

In other words, \tan(23\, x) would have a real value as long as x\ne \displaystyle \frac{1}{23} \, \left(k\, \pi + \frac{\pi}{2}\right).

Accordingly, the domain of f(x) = 3\, \tan(23\, x) would be \mathbb{R} \backslash \displaystyle \left\lbrace \left. \frac{1}{23}\, \left(k\, \pi + \frac{\pi}{2}\right)  \; \right| k \in \mathbb{Z}  \right\rbrace.

Which functions are symmetric with respect to the y axis<br>​
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

A, B, and D

Step-by-step explanation:

Only the functions that have x by itself between the absolute value signs (A, B, and D) are symmetric with respect to the y-axis .

Placing a constant outside the absolute value signs moves the function up or down the y-axis but retains the symmetry.

Adding a constant inside the absolute value signs (as in C and E) moves the axis of symmetry to the left or right of the y-axis.

In the diagram, both A and B are symmetric with respect to the y-axis, but C has been shifted three units to the left.
