Answer:

There are 75 ways to form the committee.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order in which the people are chosen is not important, which means that the combinations formula is used to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

In this question:

Considering the eldest has to be there, 2 men from a set of 6 and 4 boys from a set of 5(excluding the youngest), so:

T = C_{6,2}C_{5,4} = \frac{6!}{2!4!} \times \frac{5!}{1!4!} = 3*5*5 = 75

There are 75 ways to form the committee.

What is Z^6y^3/z^6y^4
Maslowich

Answer:

The correct answer is

Z⁶Y³/Z⁶Y⁴ = 1/Y

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Points to remember</u>

1).  xᵃ * xᵇ = xᵃ⁺ᵇ

2).  xᵃ/xᵇ = xᵃ⁻ᵇ

3).  x° = 1

4). x⁻ᵃ = 1/xᵃ

The given expression is Z⁶Y³/Z⁶Y⁴

<u>To find the simplification of expression</u>

Z⁶Y³/Z⁶Y⁴ =  Z⁶⁻⁶ * Y³⁻⁴

 =  Z° * Y⁻¹ = 1 * 1/Y = 1/Y

Therefore the value of given expression  Z⁶Y³/Z⁶Y⁴ is 1/Y
