Answer: 4004ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of Students =15

Total number of students to be on the committee =5

Since two members are of the same major and must not be on the committee, then we are left with choosing 5 people from just 14 People after we eventually remove one from those two students with same majors.

Hence to select 5 people from 14 people, we use the combination formula 14C5.

From the two students with same major we also use the combination Formula in knowing the number of ways any of the two students can be chosen. To choose one from these two students, we use the combination Formula 2C1.

Hence, the total number of ways to choose the committee of 5 and ensuring the two students with same major aren't on the committee becomes:

= 14C5 * 2C1

= 2002 * 2

= 4004ways.

Write an equation for the quadratic graphed below: x-intercepts: (-1,0) and (4,0); y-intercept: (0,1)
Luda [366]

Answer:

y = (1/4)x² - (5/4)x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercepts of the quadratic equation are simply it's roots.

Thus, we have;

(x + 1) = 0 and (x - 4) = 0

Now, formula for quadratic equation is;

y = ax² + bx + c

Where c is the y intercept.

At y-intercept: (0,1), we have;

At (-1,0), thus;

0 = a(1²) + b(1) + 1

a + b = -1 - - - (1)

At (4,0), thus;

0 = a(4²) + b(4) + 1

16a + 4b = -1

Divide both sides by 4 to get;

4a + b = -1/4 - - - (2)

From eq 1, b = -1 - a

Thus;

4a + (-1 - a) = -1/4

4a - 1 - a = -1/4

3a - 1 = -1/4

3a = 1 - 1/4

3a = 3/4

a = 1/4

b = -1 - 1/4

b = -5/4

Thus;

y = (1/4)x² - (5/4)x + 1

Answer:

Air pressure = 4.6\frac{\text{lb}}{\text{in}^{2} }

Step-by-step explanation:

Relationship between air pressure and altitude can be modeled by,

P = 14.7e14.7e^{-0.00004h}

Where P = Air pressure

and h = altitude above the sea level

Air pressure on Mount Everest having altitude = 29028 feet abve the sea level will be,

P = 14.7e^{-0.00004\times 29028}

  = 14.7\times e^{-1.16112}

  = 4.603

  ≈ 4.6 \frac{\text{lb}}{\text{in}^{2} }

Therefore, air pressure on Mount Everest = 4.6 \frac{\text{lb}}{\text{in}^{2} }
