Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

You are choosing 3 from a total of 12. Order does not matter. So you are working with combinations. The answer symbolically is

12C3

12C3 = 12!/(9!3!)

12C3 = 12 * 11 * 10 * 9!/(9! 3!)

12C3 = 12 * 11 * 10/6

12C3 = 2 * 11 * 10

12C3 = 220

<h3>Answer: Choice C) 220 </h3>

========================================

We have 12 choices for the first selection, 11 for the second, and 10 for the third. There are 12*11*10 = 1320 permutations. If your teacher was asking about permutations, then you would be done at this point. However, your teacher is asking about combinations. With combinations, order does not matter.

For any group of 3 items, there are 3! = 3*2*1 = 6 ways to arrange this group. This means that we must divide 1320 over 6 to correct for the fact that we overcounted by a factor of 6

In this case,

number of combinations = (number of permutations)/6

number of combinations = 1320/6

number of combinations = 220

More generally, I'm using the connection that

nCr = (nPr)/(r!)

Help please! What is the answer ?

Answer:

x < -3 or x > 3

second answer choice

Step-by-step explanation:

 The symbol "∨" between p and q represents a disjunction and can be replaced with the word "or" to turn p ∨ q into p or q.

Plug in x < -3 in for p and x > 3 for q, and now you have:

x < -3 or x > 3

which is the same as the second answer choice.

So, the answer is x < -3 or x > 3, or the second answer choice.

I hope you find my answer helpful.

Given: lines l and m are parallel, and line t is a transversal.

angle pair result/justification

1 and 2 are equal (vertical angles)

6 and 8 are equal (corresponding angles)

1 and 4 are equal (alternate exterior angles)

4 and 8 are supplementary angles (i.e. add up to 180 degrees, a straight angle)

Note:

alternate angles are on opposite sides of the transversal, and each attached to a different (parallel) line.

If they are both enclosed by the parallel lines, they are alternate interior angles (examples: angles 2 and 3, 6 and 7)

If they are both outside of the two parallel lines, they are alternate exterior angles (examples: angles 1 and 4, 5 and 8)
