How many ways can a dance instructor send 4 of her 11 students to a summer dance program?

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

d) 330

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of ways can a dance instructor send 4 of her 11 students to summer dance program is C(11 , 4)

That is $11_{C_{4} }$ ways

by using formula $n_{C_{r} } = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}$

now simplification

$11_{C_{4} } = \frac{11!}{(11-4)!4!}$

= $\frac{11X10X9X8X7!}{(7!)4X3X2X1}$

after cancelling 7! and on simplification

= $\frac{11X10X9X8}{4X3X2X1}$

after cancellation we get 330 ways

The number of ways can a dance instructor send 4 of her 11 students to summer dance program is 330

Solve the following equation by completing the square. 3x^2-3x-5=13

mr Goodwill [35]

we'll start off by grouping some

$\bf 3x^2-3x-5=13\implies (3x^2-3x)-5=13\implies 3(x^2-x)-5=13 \\\\\\ 3(x^2-x)=18\implies (x^2-x)=\cfrac{18}{3}\implies (x^2-x)=6\implies (x^2-x+~?^2)=6$

so we have a missing guy at the end in order to get the a perfect square trinomial from that group, hmmm, what is it anyway?

well, let's recall that a perfect square trinomial is

$\bf \qquad \textit{perfect square trinomial} \\\\ (a\pm b)^2\implies a^2\pm \stackrel{\stackrel{\text{\small 2}\cdot \sqrt{\textit{\small a}^2}\cdot \sqrt{\textit{\small b}^2}}{\downarrow }}{2ab} + b^2$

so we know that the middle term in the trinomial, is really 2 times the other two without the exponent, well, in our case, the middle term is just "x", well is really -x, but we'll add the minus later, we only use the positive coefficient and variable, so we'll use "x" to find the last term.

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{middle term}}{2(x)(?)}=\stackrel{\textit{middle term}}{x}\implies ?=\cfrac{x}{2x}\implies ?=\cfrac{1}{2}$

so, there's our fellow, however, let's recall that all we're doing is borrowing from our very good friend Mr Zero, 0, so if we add (1/2)², we also have to subtract (1/2)²

$\bf \left( x^2 -x +\left[ \cfrac{1}{2} \right]^2-\left[ \cfrac{1}{2} \right]^2 \right)=6\implies \left( x^2 -x +\left[ \cfrac{1}{2} \right]^2 \right)-\left[ \cfrac{1}{2} \right]^2=6 \\\\\\ \left(x-\cfrac{1}{2} \right)^2=6+\cfrac{1}{4}\implies \left(x-\cfrac{1}{2} \right)^2=\cfrac{25}{4}\implies x-\cfrac{1}{2}=\sqrt{\cfrac{25}{4}} \\\\\\ x-\cfrac{1}{2}=\cfrac{\sqrt{25}}{\sqrt{4}}\implies x-\cfrac{1}{2}=\cfrac{5}{2}\implies x=\cfrac{5}{2}+\cfrac{1}{2}\implies x=\cfrac{6}{2}\implies \boxed{x=3}$
