The sum of angles of a triangle is 180°.
48 +(6x -28) +2x = 180
8x +20 = 180
8x = 160
x = 20
∠B = (6x -28)° = (6*20 -28)° = 92°
∠C = 2x° = 40°
___
x = 20
∠B = 92°
∠C = 40°
1,157 a month has approximate of 4 weeks so
289.25 x 4 = 1,157
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A
Since the lines goes through the point (0,0) the graph is proportional. We can find the rate of change by take the price of corn and dividing by the number of bushels
24/3 = 8 dollars/ bushel
Part B
Previous Year Number of Bushels Price of Corn (dollars)
3 21
6 42
9 63
12 84
We can find the rate of change for the previous year by using the slope formula
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (84-63)/(12-9)
=21 / 3
= 7
The previous year was 7 dollars per bushel
The increase was 8-7 = 1 dollar per bushel
In a geometric sequence each number after the first is found by multiplying the previous number by a fixed number called the common ratio.
In an arithmetic sequence, each term is equal to the previous term plus or minus a constant called the common difference.
In your problem we have a sequence of numbers that appears to be decreasing in value, but on the surface it doesn't appear to be by any constant number... but if you look closely, the denominator 34 is exactly twice the other denominator 17. This would lead me to look at a common denominator to see if anything takes shape...
9/17 = 18/34
15/34
6/17 = 12/34
9/34
Now we see that each number is the previous number minus 3/34, so we have a common difference of 3/34.
This would match the definition of an arithmetic sequence and NOT a geometric sequence.
Given that there are 12 persons, the first choice may be in 12 different ways, the second choice may be in 11 different ways, ther third in 10 different ways, the fourth in 9 different ways and the fith in 8 different ways, for a total of:
12x11x10x9x8 different combinations.
Now you have to take in account that 5x4x3x2 are repetitions. So you have to divide the previos counting by 5x4x3x2.
(12x11x10x9x8)/(5x4x3x2) = 792 different subcommittees.
Also, you can use the formula for combinations: C(m,n) = m! / (n! (m-n)!)
C (12, 5) = 12! / (5!) (12-5)! = [12x11x10x9x8x7!] / [5! 7!] = [12x11x10x9x8]/[5x4x3x2] = 792
