Wittaler [7]2 years ago

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

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

To turn the fraction of 1 1/2 to decimal would be : 1.50 add fifty percent because you have to add 6 to 12 and six is half, so you add half. Half of 150 is 75 so add them you get 225 and as a fraction, that's 2 1/4. Already you have the first part done. Since there is only one answer with 2 1/3 your answer has to be D.

Given a≠±b and a^2−b^2 / a+b =12, find a−b.<br> pls hlep
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

a - b = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{a^2-b^2}{a+b} = 12 ← factor the numerator

a² - b² ← is a difference of squares and factors as

a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b)

Thus

\frac{(a-b)(a+b)}{a+b} = 12

Cancel the common factor (a + b) on numerator/ denominator, thus

a - b = 12
