Mathematics

Wittaler [7]2 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

viva [34]
Given that an animal shelter houses three kinds of animals: dogs, cats and rabbits and it has a total of 126 animals. 1/3 of the animals are cats. This means, 1/3 of 126 is 42. So there are 42 cats. 3/4 of the remaining animals, which is 84 are dogs. So 3/4 of 84 is 63. So there are 63 dogs. 63 dogs plus 42 cats is 105 animals. 126 minus 105 is 21. Therefore, there are only 21 rabbits. Hope this helps.

What is the Kinetic energy of a 2000 kg bus that is moving at 30m/s? <br><br> Explain please
agasfer [191]

There's a formula for that.

KE = (1/2)mv²

... = (1/2)(2000 kg)(30 m/s)²

... = 900,000 kg·m²/s²

... = 900,000 J

_____

It is helpful to know the relationship between kilograms, meters, seconds, and Newtons or Joules.

1 J = 1 kg·m²/s²
