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

What is an equivalent expression for 5x + 15
andreyandreev [35.5K]

We can write an equivalent expression by factoring this polynomial.

Since the GCF for these terms is 5, we can factor out a 5.

That leaves us with each term divided by 5 inside the parenthses.

So we have 5(x + 3).

each side of the base of a right octagonal prism is 7 in. long. the altitude of the prism measures 12 in. find the lateral area.
earnstyle [38]

The lateral area of the right octagonal prism is 672 square inches

<h3>How to determine the lateral area</h3>

The formula for lateral area of a right octagonal prism is expressed as;

Lateral area = 8ah

Where;

  • a is the side length = 7 Inches
  • h is the height of the prism = 12 Inches

Substitute the values into the formula

Lateral area = 8 × 7 × 12

Multiply through

Lateral area = 672 square inches

Thus, the lateral area of the right octagonal prism is 672 square inches
