Answer:

The question continues ; I take it is defined as a set of five white and one red number how many possible different Powerball tickets can be purchased how many possible different winning Powerball tickets are there

Step-by-step explanation:

he concept of combinatorics ( combination and permutation) is applied her

nPr = n!/(n-r)!

nCr = n!/(n-r)!r!

Hence number of possible different powerball tickets = number of ways of selection

= selecting 5 white ball from a total of 69 and selecting a red ball from a total of 26

= 69C5 x 26C1

using the formula above for combination

= 69!/(69-5)!5! x 26!/(26-1)!1!

= 292, 201, 338 ways

The product of two consecutive integers is 90. Which equation can be used to find the two integers?
joja [24]
Two consecutive integers would be x and x+ 1
if you multiply them you have x(x + 1) = x^2 + x
if you want the product to equal 90 you get x^2 + x = 90
The first option is correct.

Bought a board game for $30. The board game is now worth $55. Calculate the percent change in the game's value.
Hatshy [7]
30 is the old value and 55 is the new value. In this case we have a positive change (increase) of 83.33333333 percent because the new value is greater than the old value. Using this tool you can find the percent increase for any value.

3 + root 3 *2 +root 2​
icang [17]

Answer:

6 + 3\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rule of radicals

\sqrt{a} × \sqrt{b} ⇔ \sqrt{ab}

Given

(3 + \sqrt{3} )(2 + \sqrt{2} )

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

3(2 + \sqrt{2} ) + \sqrt{3} (2 + \sqrt{2} ) ← distribute both parenthesis

= 6 + 3\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{6}
