Answer: 165 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

The process of selection is done by using the combination formula for selection. If given "n" items and we are to choose "r" items from this given "n", the formula to use is denoted by:

nCr. = n! /(n-r)! × r!

Where

n! = n * (n-1) * (n-2)... *3*2*1.

In this case the number of items given = 11

And the number of items to be chosen = 3,

Hence the number of ways to do this = 11C3= 11!/(11-3)! × 3!

=165 ways.

When salt and water are combined, they form a salt or saline solution. How much ml of water must be added to 150 mL of an 80% sa
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

We must add 400 ml of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the following equation:

C_{i}V_{i}=C_{f}V_{f}

Where:

  • C(i) is the initial concentration of the solution (80%)
  • C(f) is the final concentration of the solution (30%)
  • V(i) is the initial volume (150 ml)
  • V(f) is the final volume

Now, we just need to solve the equation for V(f).

V_{f}=\frac{C_{i}V_{i}}{C_{f}}

V_{f}=\frac{80*150}{30}

V_{f}=400\: ml

Therefore, we must add 400 ml of water.

I hope it helps you!

If f(x)=sinx−1/cos2x, then limx→π2f(x) is equivalent to which of the following?
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given g(x) = sin(x)-1/cos2(x), we are to find the limit if the function g(x) as g(x) tends to π/2

Substituting π/2 into the function

lim x-->π/2 sin(x)-1/cos 2(x)

= sin(π/2) - 1/cos(2)(π/2)

= 1 - 1/cosπ

= 1- 1/-1

= 1 -(-1)

= 1+1

= 2

Hence the limit of the function h(x) = sin(x)-1/cos2(x) as x--> π/2 is 2

Philip is conducting a survey to determine the weight of 100 cows on a farm. Which of the following questions is an appropriate
liubo4ka [24]
Because Philip is conducting a survey that pertains to the weight of the cows, he needs statistics that directly relate to weight.

The cows being overweight doesn't give Philip concrete information on the weight of the cows, as it doesn't give the amount of pounds a cow weighs. Average age has nothing to do with weight, and normal body weight doesn't give concrete information on weight.

The answer is "<span>What is the weight of each cow on the farm?".</span>
