Answer:

The number of different committees that are possible is 200.

Step-by-step explanation:

Combinations is a mathematical procedure to determine the number of ways to select <em>k</em> items from <em>n</em> distinct items.

{n\choose k}=\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}

The group consists of 6 juniors and 5 sophomores.

The committee to be formed must consist of 3 juniors and 3 sophomores.

Compute the number of ways to select 3 juniors from 6 as follows:

n (3\ juniors)={6\choose 3}=\frac{6!}{3!(6-3)!}=\frac{6!}{3!\times3!}=\frac{6\times 5\times 4\times3!}{3!\times 3!}=20

Compute the number of ways to select 3 sophomores from 5 as follows:

n (3\ sophomores)={5\choose 3}=\frac{5!}{3!(5-3)!}=\frac{5!}{3!\times2!}=\frac{5\times 4\times3!}{3!\times 2!}=10

Compute the total number of different committees possible as follows:

Total number of committees possible = n (3 juniors) × n (3 sophomores)

                                                               ={6\choose 3}\times {5\choose 3}\\=20\times 10\\=200

Thus, the number of different committees that are possible is 200.

Do the ratios 9/4 and 11/6 make a proportion please explain. Thank You!

No they're not proportionate because 9 divided by 4 = 2.25 and 11 divided by 6 is 1.83 so they're not the same in value

Brainliest <br> Please do one of the above<br> (I would appreciate if you did more then one)

Answer:

a) 52.5 ft. b)40.1ft c)12.5ft d) 72.6

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The height of the lighthouse is 84ft, and the angle of elevation is 58 degrees.

tan58=84/x

find x by dividing 84 by tan58, and you get 52.5ft.

b) do the same thing, except 131 is in the base of the right triangle shape. That being said, do tan17=x/131.

multiply 131 by tan17, and you get x=40.1 feet.

c) This question wants you to find the length of the slide, (basically the hypotenuse).

given the angle to be 46, do sin46=9/x

since sin is opp/hyp

9/sin46= 12.5ft

d) Find the angle of elevation by using inverse tan given the base to be 5, and the height to be 16ft.

tan^-1=(16/5)=theta

x=72.6 hope this helps!

lawyer [7]

Answer:

This is an identity or infinite solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

10x - 12y = 22

5x - 6y = 11

-2(5x - 6y = 11 )

-10x + 12y = -22

10x - 12y = 22

0=0

Identity solution
