$C^n_k= \frac{n!}{(n-k)!c!} 
\\
\\C^5_3= \frac{5!}{(5-3)!3!} = \frac{5!}{2!3!} = \frac{5\times4\times3}{3\times2\times1} =10
\\
\\C^8_8= \frac{8!}{(8-8)!8!} = \frac{8!}{0!8!} = \frac{8!}{1\times8!}=1
\\
\\C^{12}_6= \frac{12!}{(12-6)!6!} = \frac{12!}{6!6!} = \frac{12\times11\times10\times9\times8\times7}{6\times5\times4\times3\times2\times1} =\frac{11\times3\times4\times7}{1} =924$

the time it takes to fly from los angeles to new york varies inversely as the speed of the plane. if the trip takes 6 hours at 9

natima [27]

Inverse variation means y=k/x (direct variation is y=kx) so we can use the info given to find the constant k

y=k/x

6=k/900

k=6(900)

k=5400 so the equation is:

y=5400/x or more accurately for this problem

t(v)=5400/v then:

t(800)=5400/800

t(800)=6.75 hours

0.2.0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1....<br> Arithmetic or geometric

Basile [38]

Arithmetic sequences have a common difference between consecutive terms.

Geometric sequences have a common ratio between consecutive terms.

Let's compute the differences and ratios between consecutive terms:

Differences:

$0.4-0.2 = 0.2,\quad 0.6-0.4=0.2,\quad 0.8-0.6=0.2,\quad 1-0.8=0.2$
