Answer:

\binom{18}{5}= 8568

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that we have in total 18 items. Even though we are given information regarding the amounts of items per type, the general question asks the total number of ways in which you can pick 5 out of the 18 objects, without any restriction on the type of chosen items. Therefore, the information regarding the type is unnecessary to solve the problem.

Recall that given n elements, the different ways of choosing k elements out of n is given by the binomial coefficient \binom{n}{k}).

Therefore, in this case the total number of ways is just \binom{18}{5}=8568

Answer:

Given:

Number of objects: n = 18

Type A objects: 10

Type B objects: 5

Type C objects: 3

To find:

In how many ways can you Pick 5 of the 18 objects (order does not matter)

Step-by-step explanation:

When the order does not matter we use Combination.

Formula to calculate combination:

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

n = 18

r = 5

Putting the values:

C(n,r)

= C(18,5)

= 18! / 5! ( 18 - 5 )!

= 18! / 5! ( 13 )!

= ( 18 * 17 * 16 * 15 * 14 * 13 * 12 * 11 * 10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 ) / ( 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 ) * (13 * 12 * 11 * 10 *9* 8 * 7 *6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 *1 )

Cancel 13!

= (18 * 17 * 16 * 15 * 14 ) / ( 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 )

= 1028160 / 120

= 8568

So you can pick 5 of the 18 objects in 8568 ways.

Question 1 (1 point)
Naily [24]

Answer:

P ( -1, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ratio is AP : PB = 3 : 2 = m : n  and points A(5,6) B(-5,-9)

We will calculate coordinates of the point P which divides line segment AB  in the following way:

xp = (n · xa + m · xb) / (m+n) = (2 · 5 + 3 · (-5)) / (3+2) = (10-15) / 5 = -5/5 = -1

xp = -1

yp = (n · ya + m · yb) / (m+n) = (2 · 6 + 3 · (-9)) / (3+2) = (12-27) / 5 = -15/5 = -3

yp = -3  

Point P( -1, -3)

Answer:

  • C. ASA postulate

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>We observe two angles and the included side of ABC are congruent to two angles and the included side of DBE:</u>

  • ∠A ≅ ∠D
  • ∠C ≅ ∠ E
  • AC ≅ DE

This is called ASA

A horse corral is situated on a triangular plot of land. Two sides of the plot are 150 feet long and they meet at an angle of 55
Brrunno [24]

Answer : d. 438.5 ft

The diagram for the given statement is attached below.

Two sides AB and AC are equal so the angle B = angle C

WE know sum of three sides of a triangle = 180

angle A + angle B + angle C = 180

55 + B + C = 180

B + C = 180 -55 = 125

B and C are equal so we divide 125 by 2

angle B = 62.5 and angle C = 62.5

Now we apply sin law

\frac{sin A}{a} = \frac{sin B}{b}

\frac{sin 55}{a} = \frac{sin 62.5}{150}

150 * sin(55) = sin(62.5) * a

122.8728066 = sin(62.5) * a

a = \frac{ 122.8728066}{sin(62.5)}

a= 138.52 feet

To find perimeter we add all the sides

150 + 150 + 138.52 = 438.52 feet

Really need help..... number 14:)
Soloha48 [4]
Without the actually predicted values in comparison to the real values it is only possible to give a very likely answer based on their scale:
a) is 25 million off, which sounds bad but when compared to a few billion in population it's not even 1%
b)3 billion is more than half the world population as error: very unlikely
c)154 billion, unlikely that a prediction is off by a factor of ~30
d)same as c

so a) is most likely the solution, but in theory the predictions could be arbitrarily bad (things like negative population, or extreme growths)

How to express each of the following pairs of
vichka [17]

Answer:

<em>a) 3<x<8</em>

<em>b) -4<x<-2</em>

<em>c) -6<x<5</em>

<em>d) -21/4 < x-8/3</em>

<em>e) 0<x<7</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following inequalities

a)  x > 3, 2x - 3 < 15

Solve 2x - 3 < 15

2x < 15+3

2x<18

x<18/2

x<8

Combine x>3 and x<8

If x>3, then 3<x

On combining, we have:

3<x<8

b) For the inequalities 25 > 1 - 6x, 1 > 3x + 7

25 > 1 - 6x

25-1>-6x

24>-6x

Divide through by -6:

24/-6 > -6x/-6

-4 <x

For the inequality 1 > 3x + 7

1-7>3x

-6>3x

-6/3 > 3x/3

-2 > x

x < -2

Combining both results i.e -4 <x and x < -2, we will have:

-4<x<-2

c) For the inequalities 2x - 7<3< 27 + 4x

On splitting:

2x - 7<3 and 3< 27 + 4x

2x < 3+7

2x<10

x<5

Also for 3< 27 + 4x

3-27<4x

-24<4x

-24/4 < 4x/4

-6<x

Combining both solutions i.e x<5 and -6<x will give;

<em>-6<x<5</em>

d) For the inequalities 3x + 8 <0 < 21 + 4x

3x + 8 <0

3x < -8

x < -8/3

Also for 0 < 21 + 4x

0-21<4x

-21<4x

-21/4 < 4x/4

-21/4 < x

Combining -21/4 < x and x < -8/3 will give;

<em>-21/4 < x-8/3</em>

<em></em>

e) For the inequalities 5x - 36 < -1 < 2x – 1​

Split:

5x - 36 < -1

5x < -1+36

5x<35

5x/5 < 35/5

x < 7

For the expression -1 < 2x – 1​

-1+1 < 2x

0 < 2x

0<x

Combining both inequalities 0<x and x < 7 will give:

<em>0<x<7</em>
