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

A book falls from a shelf that is 5 feet above the floor. A model for the height h in feet if an object dropped from an initial
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

About 0.559 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The height equation is:

h=-16t^2+h_0

Where h_0 is the initial height of the book, which is 5, so we can write:

h=-16t^2+5

Now, we want time it took for the book to reach ground (h = 0)

So, we substitute h = 0 and solve for t:

h=-16t^2+5\\0=-16t^2+5\\16t^2=5\\t^2=0.3125\\t=0.5590\\t=0.559

It took about 0.559 seconds for the book to reach the ground

Donata bought 3 Apples and 5 Pomegranites at the local supermarket for a total of $16.50 Meaghan bought 6 Apples and 11 Pomegran
Sati [7]

Answer: the cost of one apple is $1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of one apple.

Let y represent the cost of one Pomegranate.

Donata bought 3 Apples and 5 Pomegranates at the local supermarket for a total of $16.50. This means that

3x + 5y = 16.5 - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Meaghan bought 6 Apples and 11 Pomegranates at the same store for a total of $35.70. This means that

6x + 11y = 35.7- - - - - - - - - - - - -2

Multiplying equation 1 by 2 and equation 2 by 1, it becomes

6x + 10y = 33

6x + 11y = 35.7

Subtracting, it becomes

- y = - 2.7

y = 2.7

Substituting y = 2.7 into equation 1, it becomes

3x + 5 × 2.7 = 16.5

3x + 13.5 = 16.5

3x = 16.5 - 13.5 = 3

x = 3/3 = 1
