Answer:

A) N = 20 ways

a 3​-person subcommittee can be selected from a committee of 6 ​people in 20 ways.

B)N = 120 ways

The president, vice president and secretary can be chosen from a committee of 6 ​people in 120 ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) the number of ways a 3​-person subcommittee be selected from a committee of 6 ​people N;

Since there is no given order for the selection, this means that the order of selection is irrelevant. Therefore, this is a combination problem where order is not considered.

N = nCr

N = 6C3

N = 6!/3!(6-3)! = 6!/3!3!

N = 720/(6×6)

N = 20 ways

a 3​-person subcommittee can be selected from a committee of 6 ​people in 20 ways.

B) the number of ways a president, vice president and secretary can be chosen from a committee of 6 ​people N;

In this case, there is a given order of selection for the 3 posts. This is a permutation.

N = nPr

N = 6P3

N = 6!/(6-3)!

N = 6!/3!

N = 120 ways

The president, vice president and secretary can be chosen from a committee of 6 ​people in 120 ways.

If f(x)=(3+x)/(x-3), what is f(a+2)?
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

To answer items such as this, we directly substitute the a + 2 to the all the x's in the function such that,

                           f(a + 2) = (3 + a + 2) / (a + 2 - 3)

Simplifying the function generated above,

                           f(a + 2) = (5 + a) / (a - 1)

Write the inequality represented by the graph below.
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

y > -x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

find the slope and y-intercept so you can create a linear equation:

y = mx + b ;   m = slope and  b = y-intercept

slope (m) = (3-0) / (0-3)

m = 3/-3 or -1

we can see the y-intercept by looking at the graph, it is 3

y > -x + 3

How many solutions does the system have? \begin{cases} 3x+y=8 \\\\ 2x+2y=8 \end{cases} ⎩ ⎪ ⎪ ⎨ ⎪ ⎪ ⎧ ​ 3x+y=8 2x+2y=8 ​ Choose 1
ELEN [110]

Answer:

This system has one solution (x=2 and y=2), then the answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equations is:

3x+y=8 (1)

2x+2y=8 (2)

Let's multiply the first equation by 2 and subtract it to the second equation  

6x-2x+2y-2y=16-8

4x=8  

x=2

Using this value in (1) we can find y.

3(2)+y=8

6+y=8

y=2

Therefore, this system has one solution (x=2 and y=2), the answer is A.

I hope it helps you!
