Answer:

a) rCn = 1176

b) 2352

Step-by-step explanation:

a)Each committee should be formed with 3 members ( no two members could be of the same state) then

Let´s  fix a senator for any of the 50 states so in the new condition we need to combined 49 senators in groups of 2 then

rCn =  n! / (n - r )! *r!

rCn =  49!/ (49 - 2)!*2!

rCn =  49*48*47! / 47!*2!

rCn = 49*48 /2

rCn = 1176

So we can choose in 1176 different ways a senator for a given state

b) To answer this question we have to note, that, 1176 is the number of ways a committee can be formed with senators of different sate (taking just one senator for state ) if we have 2 senators we need to multiply that figure by 2.

1176*2 = 2352

Which of the following are solutions to the equation below? Check all that apply. 4x2 + 4x + 1 = 9​
Vilka [71]

Answer:

4x^2 + 4x + 1=9

4x^2 + 4x - 8=0

Dividing both sides by 4

x^2 + x -2=0

It can be written as

x^2 + 2x - x - 2=0

x(x+2) -1(x+2)=0

taking (x+2) as common on LHS

Then, (x+2)(x-1)=0

Now first equate x+2=0  ie x=-2

then                 x-1=0 ie x=1

Therefore, x has two values(roots)

that is -2,1

Can anyone help me out? thanks
Alik [6]

Answer:

450 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

12 degrees is 1/30 of the circumference because there are 360 degrees in a circle.

The minor arc length of 15 is in the same ratio to the circumference as  the 2 angles , so the circumference = 30 * 15 - 450 cm.

Select the correct answer Which equation represents a line that is perpendicular to line MN?
taurus [48]

Answer:

D. y = 4x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that is perpendicular to the line MN should have a slope that when multiplied by the slope of line MN will result to negative one. Therefore,

Therefore,

m₁ × m₂ = -1

Using the 2 coordinates of MN let's find the slope,

(-7, 6)(5, 3)

Therefore,

m₁ = 3 - 6 / 5 - (-7) = -3 / 12 = - 1 / 4

The equation that represent a line perpendicular to the line MN is

y = 4x - 6 because the slope slope(m₂) is 4.

From our formula,

4 × - 1 / 4 = - 1

So, option D meets the requirement.

The answer would be 747.50! Because if you were wanting to decrease the price then you would multiply $299 by 40% So since you are wanting to add to the price then you would divide...Hope that makes since :)
