The Powerball lottery is played twice each week in 28 states, the Virgin Islands, and the District of Columbia. To play Powerbal

l a participant must purchase a ticket and then select five numbers from the digits 1 through 55 and a Powerball number from the digits 1 through 42. To determine the winning numbers for each game, lottery officials draw five white balls out of a drum with 55 white balls, and then one red ball out of a drum with 42 red balls. To win the jackpot, a participant’s numbers must match the numbers on the five white balls and the number on the red Powerball. Compute the number of ways the first five numbers can be selected.

Answer:

There are 3478761 ways to select the first 5 numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

As understood from the statement of this problem we assume that it does not matter the order in which the first 5 white balls are selected.

In this case it is a combination.

So, what we want to know is how many ways you can choose 5 white balls out of 55.

Then we use the formula of combinations:

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

Where you have n elements and choose x from them.

Then we look for:

C(55, 5) = \frac{55!}{5!(55-5)!}\\\\C(55, 5) = \frac{55!}{5!(50)!}\\\\C(55, 5) = 3478761

Use the Quadratic formula to find all real zeros of the 2nd degree polynomial
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

  x ∈ {-5, -1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's the solution using the quadratic formula:

x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\dfrac{-24\pm\sqrt{24^2-4\cdot 4\cdot 20}}{2\cdot 4}\\\\=\dfrac{-24\pm\sqrt{576-320}}{8}=\dfrac{-24\pm\sqrt{256}}{8}\\\\=\dfrac{-24\pm 16}{8}=-3\pm 2=\{-5,-1\}

The real zeros are -5 and -1.

_____

There are many ways to check your answer. One of them is to look at the given quadratic, which has no changes of sign in its coefficients. (They are all positive.) That means there can be no positive real roots, so already you know that x=0.5 won't work.

Also, the constant in the quadratic is the product of the roots, For your roots, their product is -7/4, so even multiplying by 4 (the leading coefficient in the given quadratic), you don't get anything like 20.
