Answer:

1120 possible ways

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the answer we need to be sure what equation we need to use.

From the given example, let's consider initially only men. Because you have a total of 8 men and we need to chose only 3 men, let's suppose that the 3 chosen men are A, B, and C.

Because A,B,C is the same as choosing C,B,A, which means it doesn't matter the order of the chosen men, we need to use a 'combination equation'.

Because we have two groups (women and men) then we have:

Possible ways = 8C3 * 6C3 (which are the combinations for women and men respectively). Remember that:

nCk=n!/((n-k)!*k!) so:

Possible ways = 8!/((8-3)!*3!) * 6!/((6-3)!*3!) = 56* 20 = 1120.

In conclusion, there are 1120 possible ways.

Let divf = 6(5 − x) and 0 ≤ a, b, c ≤ 12. (a) find the flux of f out of the rectangular solid 0 ≤ x ≤ a, 0 ≤ y ≤ b, and 0 ≤ z ≤
dusya [7]
Continuing from the setup in the question linked above (and using the same symbols/variables), we have

\displaystyle\iint_{\mathcal S}\mathbf f\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S=\iiint_{\mathcal R}(\nabla\cdot f)\,\mathrm dV
=\displaystyle6\int_{z=0}^{z=c}\int_{y=0}^{y=b}\int_{x=0}^{x=a}(5-x)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dz
=\displaystyle6bc\int_0^a(5-x)\,\mathrm dx
=6bc\left(5a-\dfrac{a^2}2\right)=3abc(10-a)

The next part of the question asks to maximize this result - our target function which we'll call g(a,b,c)=3abc(10-a) - subject to 0\le a,b,c\le12.

We can see that g is quadratic in a, so let's complete the square.

g(a,b,c)=-3bc(a^2-10a+25-25)=3bc(25-(a-5)^2)

Since b,c are non-negative, it stands to reason that the total product will be maximized if a-5 vanishes because 25-(a-5)^2 is a parabola with its vertex (a maximum) at (5, 25). Setting a=5, it's clear that the maximum of g will then be attained when b,c are largest, so the largest flux will be attained at (a,b,c)=(5,12,12), which gives a flux of 10,800.

I believe the formula to find the height would be h= 2a/b and if you use that formula and plug in the area (21.7) of each triangle as well as the base (6) then you would get a height of 7.2 cm. I hope this is correct! :)
