Your class is in groups, working on a combinatorics worksheet. One of the questions asks how many possible ways 5 books out of a

box of 12 can be placed on a shelf. Your classmate suggests you calculate 12C5, which is 792. What would you say to explain how this suggestion is flawed, and how would you help correct them

Answer: 95040

Step-by-step explanation:

It is important to note that selection and arrangement are two different things in permutation and combination study. In the scenario above, we have 12 books, out of which 5 is to be arranged on a shelf. The answer prescribed by 12C5 which gives 792, only solves the selection process of choosing 5 books from a total of 12. Every 5 books picked will also have to be arranged on the shelf which is solved as n!(number of ways of arranging n different objects)

Hence, to arrange 5 books from a total of 12 books on a book shelf is

nCr * r!

12C5 * 5!

792 * 120

= 95040

The equation of line k is y=
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Neither parallel nor perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming you meant line k is y = 3x -2. If not, this is wrong.

For this, you need to put both lines in point-slope form, or the form that line k is already in. This means you only need to convert line m.

-2r + 6v = 18

6v = 2r + 18

v = 2/6r + 18/6

v = 1/3r + 3

Now you can answer the question.

To be parallel, lines must have the same slope (but a different y-intercept). 3 and 1/3 are not the same, so the lines are not parallel.

To be perpendicular, one line must have the opposite reciprocal (fraction flipped and + goes to - or - to +) of the other. While 3 is the reciprocal of 1/3, they are both positive, so they are not perpendicular.

To be the same line, the equations must be absolutely identical, which they aren't.

This leaves the last option: neither.

Let me know if you need a more in-depth explanation of anything here! I'm happy to help!
