Answer:

<h2>There are 3,921,225 ways to select the winners.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is about combinations with no repetitions, because the same person can't win four times. It's a combinaction because the order of winning doesn't really matter.

Combinations without repetitions are defined as

C_{n}^{r}  =\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

Where n=100 and r=4.

Replacing values, we have

C_{100}^{4}  =\frac{100!}{4!(100-4)!}=\frac{100!}{4! 96!}=\frac{100 \times 99 \times 98 \times 97 \times 96!}{4! \times 96!}=  \frac{94,109,400}{24}= 3,921,225

Therefore, there are 3,921,225 ways to select the winners.

Additionally, as you can imagine, the probability of winning is extremely low, it would be 3,921,225 to 1.

Determine if (-1,9) and (-2,6) are solutions to the system of equations: x + y = 8 x2 + y = 10 A) Both are solutions B) Neither
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

D) Only (-1,9) is a solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y =8

x^2 + y = 10

Lets check the first point (-1,9)

Put in x =-1 y =9

x+y =8

-1+9 = 8

8 =8

This works

x^2 + y = 10

(-1)^2 +9 =10

1+9 = 10

10 = 10

This works

Lets check the second point (-2,6)

Put in x =-2 y =6

x+y =8

-2+6 = 8

4=8

This  does not work

We can stop now.  (-2,6) cannot be a solution

What is the 60th term of the sequence 2, -3, -8, -13?
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

  -293

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term of the arithmetic sequence is a1 = 2. The common difference is d = -3-2 = -5. The general term is ...

  an = a1 +d(n -1)

  an = 2 -5(n -1)

The 60th term is ...

  a60 = 2 -5(60 -1) = -293
