Answer:

126

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of apples = 9

Number of favourite Mathematics lecturers = 5

To find number of ways in which 9 (identical) apples can be given to your 5 favourite Mathematics lecturers, find $C(9,5)$

Combination refer to selection of items such that order does not matter.

Use $C(n,p)=\frac{n!}{p!(n-p)!}$

Put $n=9,p=5$

$C(9,5)=\frac{9!}{5!(9-5)!}\\=\frac{9!}{5!4!}\\=\frac{9(8)(7)(6)5!}{5!4!} \\=\frac{9(8)(7)(6)}{4(3)(2)(1)}\\=126$

The points A-1,-9) and K(5,1) are endpoints of a diameter of circle 5. Which equation represents circle S?

Lilit [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

if (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the extremities of diameter,then eq. of circle is

(x-x1)(x-x2)+(y-y1)(y-y2)=0

reqd. eq. is (x+1)(x-5)+(y+9)(y-1)=0

$x^{2} +x-5x-5+y^2+9y-y-9=0\\x^{2} -4x+y^2+8y-14=0\\compare with x^2+y^2+2gx+2fy+c=0\\center (-g,-f) \\radius r=\sqrt{g^2+f^2-c}$

center is (2,-4)

r=√(2²+(-4)²-(-14))

=√(4+16+14)

=√(34)

eq. of circle is (x-2)²+(y+4)²=34

(x²-4x)+(y²+8y)=14

(x²-4x+4)+(y²+8y+16)=14+4+16

(x-2)²+(y+4)²=34

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

m 1 = 45 degrees because 1 and the angle measuring 135 degrees are supplementary angles.

m 2 = 95 degrees because 2 and the angle measuring 95 degrees are vertical angles.

m 3 = 40 degrees because 1, 2, and 3 form a triangle

Find the exact values of sin2 θ for cos θ = 3/18 on the interval 0° ≤ θ ≤ 90°

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

$sin(2\theta)=\frac{\sqrt{35} }{18}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall the formula for the sine of the double angle:

$sin(2\theta)=2*sin(\theta)*cos(\theta)$

we know that $cos(\theta)=\frac{3}{18}$ , and that $\theta$ is in the interval between 0 and 90 degrees, where both the functions sine and cosine are non-negative numbers. Based on such, we can find using the Pythagorean trigonometric property that relates sine and cosine of the same angle, what $sin(\theta)$ is:

$cos^2(\theta)+sin^2(\theta)=1\\sin^2(\theta)=1-cos^2(\theta)\\sin(\theta)=\sqrt{1-cos^2(\theta)} \\sin(\theta)=\sqrt{1-(\frac{3}{18} )^2}\\sin(\theta)=\sqrt{1-\frac{9}{324} }\\sin(\theta)=\sqrt{\frac{324-9}{324} }\\sin(\theta)=\sqrt{\frac{315}{324} }\\\\sin(\theta)=\frac{3}{18}\sqrt{35 }$

With this information, we can now complete the value of the sine of the double angle requested:

$sin(2\theta)=2*sin(\theta)*cos(\theta)\\sin(2\theta)=2*\frac{3}{18} \,\sqrt{35} \,\frac{3}{18}\\sin(2\theta)=\frac{2*3*3}{18*18}\,\sqrt{35} \\sin(2\theta)=\frac{\sqrt{35} }{18}$
