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

1 answer:

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

Please help!! If f (x) = e^x sin x, then f’ (x) =

shusha [124]

Answer:

$f'(x) = {e}^{x}( \sin x + \cos x )$

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x) = {e}^{x} \sin x \\ \\ f'(x) = \sin x \frac{d}{dx} {e}^{x} + {e}^{x} \frac{d}{dx} \sin x \\ \\ f'(x) = \sin x \: {e}^{x} +{e}^{x} \cos x \\ \\ f'(x) = {e}^{x}( \sin x + \cos x )$

I need to find how many solutions does the system have.

REY [17]

From what I got there is one real solution :)

Rearrange the second equation to give y=2-2x, substitute into the first equation to give you a value for x and then using that you can work out y for the exact coordinates of intersection :)

Also they are both straight line graphs so they will either have one or no solutions

Hope this helped :)

What is the relationship between the value of the digit 3 in 4,231 and in the value of the digit 3 in the number 3,421?

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

In 4231, the value of the digit 3 is 110 less than the value of the digit 3 in 3421.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that the value of 3 In 4231 is in ten while the value of 3 in 3421 is in thousands.

So to get the actual division factor, let's take 3300 and divide it by 30,

3300/30 = 110

So it's clear already, that the value of 3 in 4231 is 110 times less to the value in 3421

Bethany has 3.10$ in nickels and dimes. She has a total of 44 coins . What is the value of the nickels Bethany has

vlada-n [284]

Represent the unknows with n and d.

Then n+d = 44 (# of coins)

and

$0.05n + $0.10d = $3.10 (value of coins)

Solving the first equation for n, we get n = 44-d. Subst. 44-d for n in the 2nd equation:

0.05(44-d) + 0.10d = 3.10
Then 2.20 - 0.05d + 0.10d = 3.10, or
2.20 + 0.05d = 3.10, or 0.05d = 0.90. Solving for d,
0.90
d = -------- = 18
0.05

There are 18 dimes and 44-18 nickels. How many nickels is that? ;)
