Of 15 possible books, you plan to take 6 with you on vacation. How many different collections of 6 books can you take?

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

5005

Step-by-step explanation:

6 C 15

(6, 15)

15! / (6! x 9!)

The answer is 5005

C is just a way to say the order the books are picked in is random and ! means factorial. Factorial is when you multiply all the previous numbers up to the number it is. For example, 5! = 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 and 2! = 1 x 2

Solve for x.

Ivahew [28]

ANSWER

$x=\frac{2-\sqrt{10}} {3}$

or

$x=\frac{\sqrt{10}+2} {3}$

We have

$3x^2-4x-2=0$

Since we cannot factor easily, we complete the square.

Adding 2 to both sides give,

$3x^2-4x=2$

Dividing through by 3 gives

$x^2-\frac{4}{3}x= \frac{2}{3}$

Adding $(-\frac{2}{3})^2$ to both sides gives

$x^2-\frac{4}{3}x+(-\frac{2}{3})^2= \frac{2}{3}+(-\frac{2}{3})^2$

The expression on the Left Hand side is a perfect square.

$(x-\frac{2}{3})^2= \frac{2}{3}+\frac{4}{9}$

$\Rightarrow (x-\frac{2}{3})^2= \frac{10}{9}$

$\Rightarrow (x-\frac{2}{3})=\pm \sqrt{\frac{10}{9}}$

$\Rightarrow (x)=\frac{2}{3} \pm {\frac{\sqrt{10}}{3}$

Splitting the plus or minus sign gives

$x=\frac{2- \sqrt{10}} {3}$

or

$x=\frac{\sqrt{10}+2} {3}$

a street light is at the top of a 18 ft tall pole. a woman 6 ft tall walks away from the pole with a speed of 4 ft/sec along a s

shutvik [7]

The most appropriate choice for similarity of triangles will be given by -

Speed of tip of the shadow of woman = 6 ft/s

What are similar triangles?

Two triangles are said to be similar, if the corrosponding angles of the triangles are same and the corrosponding sides of the triangles are in the same ratio.

Here,

The diagram has been attached here

Let the distance of woman from the pole be x ft and the distance of tip of the shadow to the pole be y ft.

Height of street light = 18 ft

Height of woman = 6ft

The two triangles are similar [As height of woman is parallel to the height of pole]

$\frac{y - x}{6}=\frac{y}{18}\\18y - 18x = 6y\\18y - 6y = 18x\\12y = 18x\\y = \frac{18}{12}x\\y = \frac{3}{2}x\\$

To find the speed, we have to differentiate both sides with respect to time 't'

$\frac{dy}{dt} =\frac{3}{2}\frac{dx}{dt}\\\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{3}{2} \times 4\\\frac{dy}{dt} = 6$

Speed of tip of her shadow = 6 ft

in a video game, each player starts the game with k points and loses 2 points each time a task is not completed. If a player who

KIM [24]

The value of k is 400 points.

If the player fails to complete 100 tasks, then they lost 200 points. At the end of the game, they had 200 points.

We can write and solve the following equation to determine where they started.

x - 200 = 200
x = 400
