Answer:

The team can be formed in 756 different ways

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a combination problem since we are to select a set of people from a group. Combination has to do with selection.

for example, if r number of object is to be selected from a pool of n objects, this can be done in nCr number of ways.

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

Now If A company has 7 male and 9 female employees, and needs to nominate 2 men and 2 women for the company bowling team, then this can be done in the following way;

7C2 * 9C2

7C2 = \frac{7!}{5!2!} \\= \frac{7*6*5!}{5!*2} \\= 7*3\\= 21ways\\\\similarly;\\\\9C2 = \frac{9!}{7!2!}\\9C2= \frac{9*8*7!}{7!*2} \\9C2 = 9*4\\9C2 = 36

7C2 * 9C2 = 21*36

= 756

The team can be formed in 756 different ways

Find the first five terms of the sequence given by a 1 = 2, a n = 3 a n -1 - 1.
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

2, 5, 14, 41, 122

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the recursive rule with a₁ = 2

a₂ = 3a₁ - 1 = 3(2) - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5

a₃ = 3a₂ - 1 = 3(5) - 1 = 15 - 1 = 14

a₄ = 3a₃ - 1 = 3(14) - 1 = 42 - 1 = 41

a₅ = 3a₄ - 1 = 3(41) - 1 = 123 - 1 = 122

The first 5 terms are 2, 5, 14, 41, 122

PRACTICE ANOTHER A piece of wire 18 m long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into a square and the other is bent into an
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equations

4x + 3y = 18   where x = the side of the square and y = the side of the triangle

For the areas:

A = x^2 + √3y/2* y/2

A = x^2  + √3y^2/4

From the first equation x = (18 - 3y)/4

So substituting in the area equation:

A = [ (18 - 3y)/4]^2 + √3y^2/4

A = (18 - 3y)^2 / 16 + √3y^2/4

Now for maximum / minimum area the derivative = 0 so we have

A' = 1/16 * 2(18 - 3y) * -3 + 1/4 * 2√3 y = 0

-3/8 (18 - 3y) + √3 y /2 = 0

-27/4 + 9y/8 + √3y /2 = 0

-54 + 9y + 4√3y = 0

y = 54 / 15.93

= 3.39 metres

So x = (18-3(3.39) / 4 = 1.96.

This is a minimum value for x.

So the total length of wire the square  for minimum  total area is 4 * 1.96

= 7.84 m

There is no maximum area as the equation for the total area is a quadratic with a positive leading coefficient.

Just answer number 7 and 8
melamori03 [73]
We are given the equation:
F = 2.25+0.2(m-1)
where:
F is the fare
m is the number of miles.

In question 7, we are given that the fare (F) is equal to $6.05 and we need to get the number of miles. To do so, we will simply substitute with the fare in the given equation and solve for the number of miles (m) as follows:
F = 2.25 + 0.2(m-1)
6.05 = 2.25 + 0.2(m-1)
6.05-2.25 = 0.2(m-1)
3.8 = 0.2(m-1)
3.8/0.2 = m-1
19 = m-1
m = 19+1
m = 20 miles

Number 8 is exactly the same, but we will substitute F=7.65 and again solve for m
