Suppose ten students in a class are to be grouped into teams. (a) If each team has two students, how many ways are there to form

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

What is the value of x?<br><br><br> 68<br><br> 32<br><br> 54<br><br> 36
Dovator [93]

Answer:

A) 68

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the <em>Exterior Angle Theorem</em>.

The Exterior Angle theorem states that the exterior angle's measurement will be equal that of the two opposite interior angles.

Set the equation. Note that you are given the exterior angle and one interior angle:

58 + x = 126

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Subtract 58 from both sides of the equation:

x + 58 (-58) = 126 (-58)

x = 126 - 58

x = 68

A) 68 is your answer.
