Answer:

1.) There are 16 juniors and 8 seniors in the Chess Club. If the club members decide to send 9 juniors to a tournament, how many different possibilities are there?

(16 over 9) = 16!/(9!*7!) = 11440

2.) How many different ways can 3 cards be drawn from a deck of 52 cards without replacement?

52*51*50 = 132600

3.) How many different ways can 3 cards be drawn from a deck of 52 cards with replacement?

52^3 = 140608

4.) A corporation has 5 officers to choose from which 3 are selected to comprise the board of directors. How many combinations are there?

(5 over 3) = 5!/(3! * 2!) = 10

5.) A combination lock has the numbers 1 to 40 on each of three consecutive tumblers. What is the probability of opening the lock in ten tries?

10/40^3 = 1/6400

Triangle ABC has side lengths:

ABC and HJK are congruent and the corresponding sides and angles are equal. Side HJ is congruent with side AB so HJ is also 3.5cm in length.

Two passenger train, A and B, 450 km apart, star to move toward each other at the same time and meet after 2hours.

likoan [24]

Let $v$ be the speed of train A, and let's set the origin in the initial position of train A. The equations of motion are

$\begin{cases}s_A(t) = vt\\s_B(t) = -\dfrac{8}{7}vt+450\end{cases}$

where $s_A,\ s_B$ are the positions of trains A and B respectively, and t is the time in hours.

The two trains meet if and only if $s_A=s_B$ , and we know that this happens after two hours, i.e. at $t=2$

$\begin{cases}s_A(2) = 2v\\s_B(2) = -\dfrac{16}{7}v+450\end{cases}\implies 2v = -\dfrac{16}{7}v+450$

Solving this equation for v we have

$2v = -\dfrac{16}{7}v+450 \iff \dfrac{30}{7}v=450 \iff v=\dfrac{450\cdot 7}{30} = 105$

So, train A is travelling at 105 km/h. This implies that train B travels at

$105\cdot \dfrac{8}{7} = 15\cdot 8=120 \text{ km/h}$
