RSM wants to send four of its 18 Math Challenge teachers to a conference. How many combinations of four teachers include exactly

tatiyna

Answer:

1120 combinations of four teachers include exactly one of either Mrs. Vera or Mr. Jan.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order in which the teachers are chosen is not important, which means that the combinations formula is used to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

$C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

In this question:

1 from a set of 2(Either Mrs. Vera or Mr. Jan).

3 from a set of 18 - 2 = 16. So

$C_{2,1}C_{16,3} = \frac{2!}{1!1!} \times \frac{16!}{3!13!} = 1120$

1120 combinations of four teachers include exactly one of either Mrs. Vera or Mr. Jan.

The combustion of one gallon of automobile fuel produces about 5 pounds of carbon (in CO₂). Two autos are making a trip of 600 m

rewona [7]

Answer:

Approximately 50 pounds less carbon (in CO₂) will be produced by the second auto on this trip.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the combustion of one gallon of automobile fuel produces about 5 pounds of carbon (in CO₂). Two autos are making a trip of 600 miles.

Let us find amount of fuel used by autos by dividing the total distance by their mileage.

$\text{Fuel used by 1st auto}=\frac{\text{ 600 miles}}{\frac{\text{ 20 miles}}{\text{gallon}}}$

$\text{Fuel used by 1st auto}=\frac{\text{ 600 miles}}{\text{ 20 miles}}\times \text{gallon}$

$\text{Fuel used by 1st auto}=30 \text{ gallons}$

$\text{Fuel used by 2nd auto}=\frac{\text{ 600 miles}}{\frac{\text{ 30 miles}}{\text{gallon}}}$

$\text{Fuel used by 2nd auto}=\frac{\text{ 600 miles}}{\text{ 30 miles}}\times \text{gallon}$

$\text{Fuel used by 2nd auto}=20 \text{ gallons}$

Let us find the difference of fuel used by both autos.

$\text{Number of gallons that 2nd auto used less than 1st auto}=30-20$

$\text{Number of gallons that 2nd auto used less than 1st auto}=10$

Since one gallon of automobile fuel produces about 5 pounds of carbon, so 10 gallons of fuel will produces $5\times 10=50$ pounds of carbon.

Since 2nd auto used 10 gallons less than 1st auto, therefore, 2nd auto will produce 50 pounds less carbon than 1st auto.

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Both questions are true.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general mathematical equation of a line can be written as $y = ax + b$ .

If we rearrange the two equations given in the question as follows:

$5y = 3x + 22$ and $20y = 12x + 11$

We can see that they follow the general equation we defined earlier so we can say that they represents linear lines.

The $20y = 12x + 88$ given in the second question also represents a similar linear line with a different slope.

So the two questions are both true.

I hope this answer helps.

The measure of one of the angles formed by two parallel lines and a transversal is 45°. Is it possible for the measure of any of

liubo4ka [24]

Answer: No

Step-by-step explanation:

Three of the other angles are 45°. The other four are 180° - 45°, which is not 55°. At the intersection of two lines, opposite angles are equal and adjacent angles are complementary, so two adjacent angles add to 180°. Adding a parallel line gives four more angles identical to the first four.
