Answer:

360,360 groups of 5 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that there are 15 people in an office with 5 different phone lines. We are asked to find groups of 5 people that can answer these lines, if all the lines begin to ring at once.

We will use fundamental principle of counting to solve our given problem.

There are 15 people to answer 1st line, that will leave us with 14 people to answer 2nd line.

Now, we will have 13 people to answer 3rd line, that will leave us with 12 people to answer 4th line.

There are 11 people to answer 5th call.

So 5 lines can be answered in 15\times 14\times 13\times 12\times 11=360,360 ways.

Therefore, 360,360 groups of 5 people can answer these lines.

If cos(x)=1/4 what is sin(x) and tan(x)
anygoal [31]
You can use the identity
  cos(x)² +sin(x)² = 1
to find sin(x) from cos(x) or vice versa.

  (1/4)² +sin(x)² = 1
  sin(x)² = 1 - 1/16
  sin(x) = ±(√15)/4


Then the tangent can be computed as the ratio of sine to cosine.
  tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x) = (±(√15)/4)/(1/4)
  tan(x) = ±√15


There are two possible answers.
In the first quadrant:
  sin(x) = (√15)/4
  tan(x) = √15

In the fourth quadrant:
  sin(x) = -(√15)/4
  tan(x) = -√15

Which list of numbers is in order from least to greatest?<br> 3/6 3/10 3/7
lapo4ka [179]
The list of numbers from least to greatest is 

3/10 , 3/7, 3/6

This is because the numerator stays the same across all three of these fractions.  However, the denominator is changing, and this proves to be a large difference.  

Think about it this way: If you cut a pie into ten pieces, then those slices are going to be smaller than if you cut the pie into seven or six pieces.
