Answer:

There are 220 ways by which the medals can be awarded to three of the 15 gymnast, if exactly one of the Americans wins a medal

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we have;

The number of gymnast in the Olympic women's competition = 15

The number of the gymnast who are Americans = 4

The number of medals awarded = 3 medals

The number of ways hat the medals can be awarded to the three of the gymnast if exactly one of the Americans wins a medal is given as follows;

The number of ways one of the medals can be won by one of the four Americans = ₄C₁ = 4 ways

The number of ways the other two medals can be won by the remaining 11 gymnast = ₁₁C₂ = 55 ways

Therefore, the total number of ways, 'N', the medals can be awarded to three of the 15 gymnast, if exactly one of the Americans wins a medal is given as follows;

N = ₄C₁ × ₁₁C₂

∴ N = 4 × 55 = 220

Their total income tax is $10,980.

<h3><u /></h3><h3><u>Percentages</u></h3>

Given that Jamie and Emily are married and make a total annual gross pay of $91,500, to determine their total income tax at 12% rate, the following calculation must be performed:

  • 91500 x 12/100 = X
  • 91500 x 0.12 = X
  • 10980 = X

Therefore, their total income tax is $10,980.

Use the drawing tool(s) to form the correct answer on the provided number line. Consider the given functions. Function 1 Functio
Anna007 [38]

Both functions decrease at (-1, 2)

<h3>How to determine the decreasing intervals of the function?</h3>

The complete question is added as an attachment

The polynomial function f(x) is represented by the graph.

From the graph, the polynomial function decreases at (-2, 2)

The absolute function is given as;

f(x) = =5|x + 1| + 10

The vertex of the above function is

Vertex = (-1, 10)

Because a is negative (a= -5), the vertex is a maximum.

This means that the function decreases at (-1, ∞)

So, we have

(-2, 2) and (-1, ∞)

Combine both intervals

(-1, 2)

This means that both functions decrease at (-1, 2)

See attachment 2 for the number line that represents the interval where both functions are decreasing
