Answer:
525
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a question involving combinatorics
The number of ways of choosing a subset k from a set of n elements is given by which evaluates to
n! is the product n × (n-1) × (n-2) x....x 3 x 2 x 1
For example,
4! = 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 24
3! = 3 x 2 x 1 = 6
Since we have to choose 4 boys from a class of 6 boys, the total number of ways this can be done is
Note that 6! = 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 and 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 is nothing but 4!
So the numerator can be re-written as 6 x 5 x (4!)
We can rewrite the expression
Cancelling 4! from both numerator and denominator gives us the result
as (6 × 5)/2! = 20/2 = 15 different ways of choosing 4 boys from a class of 6 boys
For the girls, the number of ways of choosing 3 girls from a class of 7 girls is given by
This works out to (7 x 6 x 5 )/(3 x 2 x 1) (using the same logic as for the boys computation)
= 210/6 = 35
So total number of committees of 4 boys and 3 girls that can be formed from a class of 6 boys and 7 girls = 15 x 35 = 525
The domain is
and the range is
Domain is x values (horizontal axis), while range is y values (vertical axis). On a line like this one, domain is calculated from the left most point to the right most, while range is calculated from the down most to the upmost.
Because this line is a solid line rather than a dotted line, less than or equal to
signs are used rather than just
less than signs.
