FIND the number of combinations 8C2

Mathematics
1 answer:
Trava [24]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

8c2 = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

You can plug this into your calculator (on a TI-84, it's MATH -> PRB -> 3) as 8 nCr 2.

Let's try to understand what the output means, though! The nCr function is based on Pascal's Triangle (see the attachment for a picture).

When we do 8 choose 2, we are basically thinking about having 8 possible values and 2 spots to fit them in, and we don't care about what order they're in. The probability of this is 8*7 / 2 = 28. Our answer makes sense!

A 40-foot pipe is cut into three sections. The longest section is three times as long as the shortest, and the middle-sized sect
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

P=40

a + b + x = P

a = 3x    

b = x + 5

substitute for b & y

3x + (x+5) + x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

longest section 1 = a

mid length section 2 = b

shortest section 3 = x

P=40

a + b + x = P

a = 3x    

b = x + 5

substitute for b & y

3x + (x+5) + x = 40

5x + 5 = 40

5x = 35

x = 7

b = 12

a = 21

Nina is 10 years younger than Deepak. Deepak is 3 times as old an Nina. Which system of equations can be used to find d, Deepak’
nevsk [136]
The answer would be the first choice which is d = n + 10, d = 3n. Deepak is 10 years older than Nina, so knowing this, the equation cancels out B and D. And Deepak is 3 times Nina's age, not Nina's age is three times Deepak's. It is not the other way around.
