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
Answer:
2√2.
Step-by-step explanation:
We use the Pythagoras Theorem:
x^2 = 2^2 + 2^2
x^2 = 8
x = √8
= 2√2.
The answer is 1,296, that's how many bacteria's there will be
The law of optics applicable in this scenario is the Snell's Law which states that the ratio of the index of refraction of two media is equal to the ratio of the sine of the angle of reflection and sine of the angle of refraction. In equation form:
n₁ / n₂ = sin b / sin a
