This is a classic permutation problem.

We are given the number of permutations of 10 things taken 3 at a

time. Note: ORDER MATTERS because President, Vice-President,

and Treasurer are ordered by rank.

The needed formula is

P(n, r) = n!/(n - r)!

P(10, 3) = 10!/(10 - 3)!

P(10, 3) = (10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1)/(7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1)

We cancel out 7 factorial down to 1 factorial on the top and bottom.

This leaves us with 10 x 8 x 9.

P(10, 3) = 10 x 9 x 8

P(10, 3) = 90 x 8

P(10, 3) = 720

Answer: 720 committees are possible.

Did you follow? This is a probability question regarding permutation.

Find the volume V of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the given curves about the specified line. y = x, y =
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

381.18 cubic units

Step-by-step explanation:

Graph the region:

desmos.com/calculator/iwvreqjz2m

The region is a trapezoid.  When we rotate it about x = 1, we get a hollow cylinder shape.  We can either use washer method or shell method to find the volume.

If we find the volume using washer method, we'll have to use two integrals, one for the triangular part of the trapezoid and one for rectangular part.  If we use shell method, we only need one integral.  So let's use shell method.

Cut a thin, vertical slice of the region.  The width of this slice is dx.  The height of the slice is y₂ − y₁ = x − 0 = x.  The radius of the shell is x − 1.

The volume of the shell is:

dV = 2π (x − 1) (x) dx

dV = 2π (x² − x) dx

The total volume is the sum of all the shells from x=5 to x=7.

V = ∫ dV

V = ∫₅⁷ 2π (x² − x) dx

V = 2π ∫₅⁷ (x² − x) dx

V = 2π (⅓ x³ − ½ x² + C) |₅⁷

V = 2π [(⅓ 7³ − ½ 7² + C) − (⅓ 5³ − ½ 5² + C)]

V = 2π [⅓ 7³ − ½ 7² − ⅓ 5³ + ½ 5²]

V = 2π [⅓ (7³ − 5³) + ½ (5² − 7²)]

V = 2π [⅓ (218) + ½ (-24)]

V = 2π (72⅔ − 12)

V = 121⅓ π

V ≈ 381.18

The volume is approximately 381.18 cubic units.

natali 33 [55]

Answer:In a couple with a newborn baby at home, to take turns on feeding the baby at night.

Step-by-step explanation: Here both parents are willing to sacrifice a few minutes, if not hours of sleeptime with the promise to be allowed to rest the next time the baby needs to be fed. There is no certainty in how long it will take for the baby to go back to sleep or how long it will be for the baby to be awake again, but the chances are the same for both parents, so they both agree to take care of the child one at a time with the promise to be in turns, this is an example of contractarian logic.
