Answer:

455ways

Step-by-step explanation:

This is expressed as 15 C 3 ( C- combination)

The concept of combination is used when we talk about selection.

Now we are selecting 3 from a sample of 15

15 C 3 = 15! / (15-3)! 3! = 15 ×14×13×12!/12!×3×2

= 5 × 7 × 13 = 455ways

Find domain of y=rad20-6x

Evgesh-ka [11]

Domain, on an "even root" context, means, an even root cannot have a negative radicand, since say for example $\bf \sqrt{-25}\ne -5\qquad why?\implies (-5)(-5)=25$

so... you end up with an "imaginary value"

so... for the case of 20-6x
"x", the domain, or INPUT
can afford to have any value, so long it doesn't make the radicand negative

to check for that, let us make the expression to 0, and see what is "x" then

$\bf 20-6x=0\implies 20=6x\implies \cfrac{20}{6}=x\implies \cfrac{10}{3}=x$

now, if "x" is 10/3, let's see $\bf \sqrt{20-6\left( \frac{10}{3} \right)}\implies \sqrt{20-20}\implies \sqrt{0}\implies 0$

now, 0 is not negative, so the radicand is golden

BUT, if "x" has a value higher than 10/3, the radicand turns negative
for example $\bf x=\frac{11}{3}
\\\\\\

\sqrt{20-6\left( \frac{11}{3} \right)}\implies \sqrt{20-22}\implies \sqrt{-2}$

so.. that's not a good value for "x"

thus, the domain, or values "x" can safely take on, are all real numbers from 10/3 onwards, or to infinity if you wish

Harry owes the bank money. To repay his debt, he paid $150 back to the bank each month. After 10 months, his remaining debt was

If you have paid back 150 a month you multiply by 10 then you subtract $6900, your remaining balance is $5,400. Good luck with your equation.
