Answer:

k = -21

Step-by-step explanation:

9/ (2k-3) = 4/(k+1)

Using cross products

9 * (k+1) = 4(2k-3)

Distribute

9k+9 = 8k -12

Subtract 8k from each side

9k-8k +9 = 8k-8k-12

k+9 = -12

Subtract 9 from each side

k+9-9 = -12-9

k = -21

Answer:

\huge\boxed{k=21}

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{9}{2k-3}=\dfrac{4}{k+1}

First step:

Find domain.

We know: the denominator must be different than 0.

Therefore we have:

2k-3\neq0\ \wedge\ k+1

2k-3\neq0\qquad\text{add 3 to both sides}\\2k\neq3\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\boxed{k\neq1.5}\\\\k+1\neq0\qquad\text{subtract 1 from both sides}\\\boxed{k\neq-1}\\\\\text{Domain:}\ x\in\mathbb{R}\backslash\{-1;\ 1.5\}

Second step:

Solve for k.

\dfrac{9}{2k-3}=\dfrac{4}{k+1}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\9(k+1)=4(2k-3)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}:\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\(9)(k)+(9)(1)=(4)(2k)-(4)(3)\\\\9k+9=8k-12\qquad\text{subtract 9 from both sides}\\\\9k=8k-21\qquad\text{subtract}\ 8k\ \text{from both sides}\\\\\boxed{k=21}\in\text{Domain}

A jury pool consists of 50 potential jurors and how many ways can a jury of 12 be selected
bija089 [108]

Solution:

we are given that

A jury pool consists of 50 potential jurors.

Wee have been asked to find the number of ways can a jury of 12 be selected.

As we know from the concept of combination that r person can be selected out of n in ncr ways. where

n_C_r=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

Now substitute the values we get

{50}_C_{12}=\frac{50!}{12!(50-12)!}\\&#10;\\&#10;{50}_C_{12}=\frac{50!}{12!38!}\\&#10;\\&#10;{50}_C_{12}=121399651100\\

Hence the required number of ways is 121399651100
