What are Integers?

The integers (from the Latin integer, which means with untouched integrity, whole, entire) are the set of numbers consisting of the natural numbers including 0 (0, 1, 2, 3, ...) and their negatives (0, −1, −2, −3, ...). They are numbers that can be written without a fractional or decimal component, and fall within the set {... −2, −1, 0, 1, 2, ...}. For example, 65, 7, and −756 are integers; 1.6 and 1½ are not integers. In other terms, integers are the numbers one can count with items such as apples or fingers, and their negatives, including 0.

A school debate team has four girls and six boys. A total of four of the team members will be chosen to participate in the distr

alex41 [277]

Procedure:

1) calculate the number of diferent teams of four members that can be formed (with the ten persons)
2) calculate the number of teams tha meet the specification (two girls and two boys)
3) Divide the positive events by the total number of events: this is the result of 2) by the result in 1)

Solution

1) the number of teams of four members that can be formed are:

10*9*8*7 / (4*3*2*1) = 210

2) Number of different teams with 2 boys and 2 girls = ways of chosing 2 boys * ways of chosing 2 girls

Ways of chosing 2 boys = 6*5/2 = 15
Ways of chosing 2 girls = 4*3/2 = 6

Number of different teams with 2 boys and 2 girls = 15 * 6 = 90

3) probability of choosing one of the 90 teams formed by 2 boys and 2 girls:

90/210 = 3/7

It would take Delia 3 hours longer to re tile their bathroom by herself than it would for kari to retile on her own. If they wor

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

6hours

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Suppose it took Karl x hours to retile her bathroom,

Then it will take Della 3 hours longer i.e (3+x) hours

If Della and Karl work together or will take them 2 hours

The objective is to determine how long it will take Delia to retile the bathroom alone?

∴

$\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{3+x}= \dfrac{1}{2}$

$\dfrac{x+3+x}{x(3+x)}= \dfrac{1}{2}$

$\dfrac{2x+3}{3x+x^2}= \dfrac{1}{2}$

By cross multiplying, we have:

2(2x+3) = 3x+x²

4x + 6 = 3x + x²

3x + x² - 4x - 6

x² - x - 6 = 0

Using quadratic equation

x² -3x +2x - 6 = 0

x(x - 3) + 2(x - 3) = 0

(x +2) (x - 3) = 0

x + 2 = 0 or x - 3 = 0

x = -2 or x = 3

Since we are concerned about the positive integer,

Then, Karl = x = 3 hours while Della which is (3+x) = 3+3 = 6hours

Find the sum of a finite geometric sequence from n=1 to n=8, using the expression -2(3)^n-1

MissTica

$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{sum of a finite geometric sequence}
\\\\
S_n=\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}\ a_1\cdot r^{i-1}\implies S_n=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-r^n}{1-r} \right)\quad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
r=\textit{common ratio}
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\sum\limits_{n=1}^{8}~-2(3)^{n-1}~~
\begin{cases}
n=8\\
a_1=-2\\
r=3
\end{cases}\implies S_8=-2\left( \cfrac{1-3^8}{1-3} \right)
\\\\\\
S_8=\underline{-2}\left( \cfrac{1-6561}{\underline{-2}} \right)\implies s_8=1-6561\implies S_8=-6560$
