Answer:

(a) There are 113,400 ways

(b) There are 138,600 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of ways to from k groups of n1, n2, ... and nk elements from a group of n elements is calculated using the following equation:

\frac{n!}{n1!*n2!*...*nk!}

Where n is equal to:

n=n1+n2+...+nk

If each team has two students, we can form 5 groups with 2 students each one. Then, k is equal to 5, n is equal to 10 and n1, n2, n3, n4 and n5 are equal to 2. So the number of ways to form teams are:

\frac{10!}{2!*2!*2!*2!*2!}=113,400

For part b, we can form 5 groups with 2 students or 2 groups with 2 students and 2 groups with 3 students. We already know that for the first case there are 113,400 ways to form group, so we need to calculate the number of ways for the second case as:

Replacing k by 4, n by 10, n1 and n2 by 2 and n3 and n4 by 3, we get:

\frac{10!}{2!*2!*3!*3!}=25,200

So, If each team has either two or three students, The number of ways  form teams are:

113,400 + 25,200 = 138,600

Point x is located at (-2,-6) and point z is located at (0,5). Find the y value for the point y that is located 1/5 the disteanc
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

-3.5


Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the distance between x and z along the y-axis.

This will be: 5 - -6 = 11 units

1/5 th of 11 = 1/5 × 11

                 = 11/5

                 = 2 1/5 = 2.5

Now add 2.5 to -6

2.5 + -6 = -3.5

The value of y = -3.5

The total cost after tax to repair Deborah's computer is represented by 0.09(60h)+60h, where h represents the number of hours it
marishachu [46]

Answer:

0.09(60h)

Step-by-step explanation:

The part that represents the tax is 0.09.

This is because, we can rewrite the sum as;

Amount of tax + Total cost for the number of hours

Now, the amount of tax can only be a percentage of the total

We can write 0.09 as 9/100

This can be interpreted as 9% of the total amount

So therefore we can rewrite the amount as;

9% of 60h + 60h

So the part that represents the amount of tax Deborah has to pay is 0.09(60h)
