Answer:
7. combination; 25C6 = 177100
8. combination; 15C5 = 3003
Step-by-step explanation:
7. The order of the committee member selections is not important. (It would be if specific people filled specific positions on the committee.) Hence, the number is a number of combinations of 25 people taken 6 at a time.
__
8. The order of players is not important, as it might be if specific choices filled specific positions on the team. (The problem statement gives no indication that is the case. It is only by our knowledge of basketball teams that we entertain the possibility that order might be important.) Hence, the number is a number of combinations of 15 people taken 5 at a time.
_____
Of course, nCk = n!/(k!(n-k)!)
Essentially, we are trying to find the missing constant term of
(remember that we are subtracting
due to the negative sign in front of the second term). Let's expand this to see what we can work with:


Now, we know the second term is
, so let's set the second term in the polynomial we just found equal to
:


- Divide both sides of the equation by


- Divide both sides of the equation by 2
We have found
. We know the missing constant term is
, according to the polynomial we found earlier. Thus, the missing term is:

The missing constant term is 36.
<span>n/100 * 64 = 8 </span><span>n/100 = 8/64<span>
n = 8*100/64 = 25/2 = 12.5</span><span>
8 is 12.5% of 64 hope this helps:)</span></span>
The tip of the hand travels the circumference of a circle with radius (r) 9.5 cm every hour;
The formula for circumference of a circle (c) is:
c = πd = 2πr
So, for a circle with radius 9.5, the circumference is:
c = 2π(9.5)
= 19π cm
The tip travels 19π cm every hour, so in a day of 24 hours it will travel:
24 * 19π = 456π cm
(= 1432.566... ⇒ 1432.6 cm)
