How many different 5-person subcommittees can be formed from a club having 12 members

Mathematics
1 answer:
Wittaler [7]3 years ago
3 0
Given that there are 12 persons, the first choice may be in 12 different ways, the second choice may be in 11 different ways, ther third in 10 different ways, the fourth in 9 different ways and the fith in 8 different ways, for a total of:

12x11x10x9x8 different combinations.

Now you have to take in account that 5x4x3x2 are repetitions. So you have to divide the previos counting by 5x4x3x2.

(12x11x10x9x8)/(5x4x3x2) = 792 different subcommittees.

Also, you can use the formula for combinations: C(m,n) = m! / (n! (m-n)!)

C (12, 5) = 12! / (5!) (12-5)! = [12x11x10x9x8x7!] / [5! 7!] = [12x11x10x9x8]/[5x4x3x2] = 792

Which equation gives the value of the circumference, C, of a circle with a diameter of 56 feet?
Alik [6]

Answer:

C=\pi (56)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The circumference of a circle is equal to

C=\pi D

where

D is the diameter

in this problem we have

D=56\ ft

substitute

C=\pi (56) -----> equation that give the value of the circumference

The width of a rectangle is 7 meters greater than its length. If the area of the rectangle is 170 square meters, write the quadr
soldier1979 [14.2K]
Since x is the length, then x+7 has to be the width.
The area of a rectangle can be found via the formula :
A = length * width
So if we replace the area with the given number (170) and the length, and width, with what we assumed, we get..
170 = x * (x+7)
[which is.. ]
170 = x^2 +7x
0 = x^2 +7x - 170

And that is the answer.

Find the area and circumference of the circle. Use 3.14 for A.
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

A = 63.59

C = 28.26

Step-by-step explanation:

r = 4.5

Area of a circle:

A = πr²

A = 3.14(4.5²)

A = 3.14(20.25)

A = 63.59

Circumference:

C = 2πr

C = 2(3.14)(4.5)

C = 28.26

Help Me Now! What is the rate of change for Funtions 1 and 2.​
lutik1710 [3]

Function 1 Answer: 45

Function 1 Explanation: The rate of change (ROC) is basically the same thing as the slope of a graphed function. If you were to graph this table onto a coordinate plane, the slope of the line formed would be 45. (see Function 2 Explanation for more explanations, duh.)

Function 2 Answer: 40

Function 2 Explanation: Functions can be written in slope-intercept form, like this: y = mx + b. The <em>m</em> is the slope, or ROC (above), and the <em>b</em> is called the y-intercept, or where the line crosses the y-axis. The m in that equation is 40...

Hope that helps!! Sorry that took so long...
