There are 2 Senators from each of 50 states. We wish to make a 3-Senator committee in which no two members are from the same sta

te. How many ways can the 3-Senator committee be formed such that no two Senators are from the same state?

Answer:

156800 Ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 3 states can be represented in 19600 ways, -->

now we have 2 ways different from the 1st of the 3 states -->

We can also select in 2 independent ways from the second of the 3 states -->

and 2 ways from the third of the 3 stats

This gives us 2 x 2 x 2 x 19600 or => 8 x 19600 giving us 156800 ways

Thus, we have our answer of 156800 ways

<em>Hope this helps!</em>

According to the table, which ordered pair is a local minimum of the function, f(x)?

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a table which gives the order pair of x and y for a function f(x)

We have to find the local minimum of the function f(x)

We have from the table the values of different f(x)

Of all we find the least value is -15 and for this x value is -2 or +2

Hence f(x) has minimum at two points

(-2,-15) and (2,-15)

Out of 4 options given we find that (2,-15) appears in IV option

Hence option D is right answer

Let a1, a2, a3, ... be a sequence of positive integers in arithmetic progression with common difference

Bezzdna [24]

Since $a_1,a_2,a_3,\cdots$ are in arithmetic progression,

$a_2 = a_1 + 2$

$a_3 = a_2 + 2 = a_1 + 2\cdot2$

$a_4 = a_3+2 = a_1+3\cdot2$

$\cdots \implies a_n = a_1 + 2(n-1)$

and since $b_1,b_2,b_3,\cdots$ are in geometric progression,

$b_2 = 2b_1$

$b_3=2b_2 = 2^2 b_1$

$b_4=2b_3=2^3b_1$

$\cdots\implies b_n=2^{n-1}b_1$

Recall that

$\displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^n 1 = \underbrace{1+1+1+\cdots+1}_{n\,\rm times} = n$

$\displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^n k = 1 + 2 + 3 + \cdots + n = \frac{n(n+1)}2$

It follows that

$a_1 + a_2 + \cdots + a_n = \displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^n (a_1 + 2(k-1)) \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = a_1 \sum_{k=1}^n 1 + 2 \sum_{k=1}^n (k-1) \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = a_1 n + n(n-1)$

so the left side is

$2(a_1+a_2+\cdots+a_n) = 2c n + 2n(n-1) = 2n^2 + 2(c-1)n$

Also recall that

$\displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^n ar^{k-1} = \frac{a(1-r^n)}{1-r}$

so that the right side is

$b_1 + b_2 + \cdots + b_n = \displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^n 2^{k-1}b_1 = c(2^n-1)$

Solve for $c$ .

$2n^2 + 2(c-1)n = c(2^n-1) \implies c = \dfrac{2n^2 - 2n}{2^n - 2n - 1} = \dfrac{2n(n-1)}{2^n - 2n - 1}$

Now, the numerator increases more slowly than the denominator, since

$\dfrac{d}{dn}(2n(n-1)) = 4n - 2$

$\dfrac{d}{dn} (2^n-2n-1) = \ln(2)\cdot2^n - 2$

and for $n\ge5$ ,

$2^n > \dfrac4{\ln(2)} n \implies \ln(2)\cdot2^n - 2 > 4n - 2$

This means we only need to check if the claim is true for any $n\in\{1,2,3,4\}$ .

$n=1$ doesn't work, since that makes $c=0$ .

If $n=2$ , then

$c = \dfrac{4}{2^2 - 4 - 1} = \dfrac4{-1} = -4 < 0$

If $n=3$ , then

$c = \dfrac{12}{2^3 - 6 - 1} = 12$

If $n=4$ , then

$c = \dfrac{24}{2^4 - 8 - 1} = \dfrac{24}7 \not\in\Bbb N$

There is only one value for which the claim is true, $c=12$ .

Which of these are coordinates for parts of the Ranger Station

anastassius [24]

ANSWER

F (2,3)

EXPLANATION

The coordinates are ordered pairs.

So the x-coordinate comes first and the y-coordinate second.

In other words the coordinate on the horizontal axis comes first and that of the vertical axis comes second.

The coordinates of the ranger station are:

(2,3),(2,4),(3,3),(3,4)

The correct choice is F.

320% expressed as a mixed number in sinplest from is

UNO [17]

320% is equal to 3 whole parts and 20% of a part. If one part is 100, then the mixed number would be 3 20/100. However, the problem says to simplify this, so it would be, 3 1/5!
