Explain the error: is the stepped-out solution correct?

1 answer:

6 0

(whenever you have an equality and you divide each side by a negative number you have to "switch the sign")

17 - 5y < 8y -9
-13y < -26
<span>y< 2 is incorrect , but y > 2 is the answer</span>

A donut store has 11 different types of donuts. You can only buy a bag of 3 of them, where each donut has to be of a different t

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

$165$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Since repetition isn't allowed, there would be $11$ choices for the first donut, $(11 - 1) = 10$ choices for the second donut, and $(11 - 2) = 9$ choices for the third donut. If the order in which donuts are placed in the bag matters, there would be $11 \times 10 \times 9$ unique ways to choose a bag of these donuts.

In practice, donuts in the bag are mixed, and the ordering of donuts doesn't matter. The same way of counting would then count every possible mix of three donuts type $3 \times 2 \times 1 = 6$ times.

For example, if a bag includes donut of type $x$ , $y$ , and $z$ , the count $11 \times 10 \times 9$ would include the following $3 \times 2 \times 1$ arrangements:

$xyz$ .
$xzy$ .
$yxz$ .
$yzx$ .
$zxy$ .
$zyx$ .

Thus, when the order of donuts in the bag doesn't matter, it would be necessary to divide the count $11 \times 10 \times 9$ by $3 \times 2 \times 1 = 6$ to find the actual number of donut combinations:

$\begin{aligned} \frac{11 \times 10 \times 9}{3 \times 2 \times 1} = 165\end{aligned}$ .

Using combinatorics notations, the answer to this question is the same as the number of ways to choose an unordered set of $3$ objects from a set of $11$ distinct objects:

$\begin{aligned}\begin{pmatrix}11 \\ 3\end{pmatrix} &= \frac{11 !}{(11 - 3)! \times 3 !} \\ &= \frac{11 !}{8 ! \times 3 !} \\ &= \frac{11 \times 10 \times 9}{3 \times 2 \times 1} = 165\end{aligned}$ .

Prove sin^2 theta-sin^2 theta is sin tetha sin 3 theta<br><br>how to prove..pls help!! thanksss

Artemon [7]

Simply you can substitute theta=45 degrees (or any angle,not zero) in left hand side and right hand side.

or

using a^2 - b^2 =(a+b)(a-b)

= sin(2x+x)sin(2x-x)
= sin 3x sin x

I need help someone help me please <3

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

$y=-\frac{3}{2}x-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

using the y=mx+b equation, where m=slope and b=y-intercept, we can place our known slope and y-intercept to form our answer, $y=-\frac{3}{2}x-2$ :-) hope this helped!

7).Venn diagram is an illustration that uses circles to show the relationships among things or finite groups of things. Circles that overlap have a commonality while circles that do not overlap do not share those traits. Venn diagrams help to visually represent the similarities and differences between two concepts.

8).In set theory, the union of a collection of sets is the set of all elements in the collection. It is one of the fundamental operations through which sets can be combined and related to each other. A nullary union refers to a union of zero sets and it is by definition equal to the empty set.

9).The intersection of two or more given sets is the set of elements that are common to each of the given sets. The intersection of sets is denoted by the symbol '∩'. In the case of independent events, we generally use the multiplication rule, P(A ∩ B) = P( A )P( B ).

10).Sets in mathematics, are simply a collection of distinct objects forming a group. A set can have any group of items, be it a collection of numbers, days of a week, types of vehicles, and so on. Every item in the set is called an element of the set. ... Sets are usually represented using a roster form or a set builder form.
