Answer:

$\frac{5}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal.

To determine the scale factor calculate the ratio of corresponding sides, that is

$\frac{NO}{GH}$ = $\frac{15}{9}$ = $\frac{5}{3}$

The senior class at a very small high school has 25 students. Officers need to be elected for four positions: President, Vice-Pr

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

(a) The total number of ways to select 4 officers from from 25 students is 12,650.

(b) The total number of ways the four officers are selected such that the President and Treasurer are girls and the Vice-President and Secretary are boys is 5,148.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

It is provided that there are a total of n = 25 students.

Officers need to be elected for four positions:

President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer.

k = 4

In mathematics, the procedure to select k items from n distinct items, without replacement, is known as combinations.

The formula to compute the combinations of k items from n is given by the formula:

${n\choose k}=\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}$

Compute the number of ways to select 4 students from from 25 as follows:

${25\choose 4}=\frac{25!}{4!(25-4)!}$

$=\frac{25!}{4!\times 21!}\\\\=\frac{25\times 24\times 23\times 22\times 21!}{4!\times 21!}\\\\=\frac{25\times 24\times 23\times 22}{4\times 3\times 2\times 1}\\\\=12650$

Thus, the total number of ways to select 4 officers from from 25 students is 12,650.

(b)

It is provided that of the 25 students, there are 13 girls and 12 boys in the class.

For the post of President and Treasurer only girls are selected.

For the post of Vice-President and Secretary only boys are selected.

Compute the number of ways to select 2 girls for the post of President and Treasurer as follows:

${13\choose 2}=\frac{13!}{2!(13-2)!}$

$=\frac{13!}{2!\times 11!}\\\\=\frac{13\times 12\times 11!}{2!\times 11!}\\\\=\frac{13\times 12}{ 2\times 1}\\\\=78$

Compute the number of ways to select 2 boys for the post of Vice-President and Secretary as follows:

${12\choose 2}=\frac{12!}{2!(12-2)!}$

$=\frac{12!}{2!\times 10!}\\\\=\frac{12\times 11\times 10!}{2!\times 10!}\\\\=\frac{12\times 11}{ 2\times 1}\\\\=66$

The number of ways the four officers are selected such that the President and Treasurer are girls and the Vice-President and Secretary are boys is:

${13\choose 2}\times {12\choose 2}=78\times 66=5148$

Thus, the total number of ways the four officers are selected such that the President and Treasurer are girls and the Vice-President and Secretary are boys is 5,148.

Identify the use of charts, graphs, and data in everyday applications.

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

For this you need to see where you can find graphs, data, and charts in your life. You can create a chart for things you notice in recent weather, bird behaviors, etc. If I gave you an entire answer, it might not line up with where you are. Example: If I took notes and created a chart for how often it rained and said that it rained every other day throughout the week, it may not line up from where you are.

Step-by-step explanation:

I wish you the best of luck on your assignment!

Serial numbers for a product are to be made using 3 letters followed by 3 digits. The letters are to be taken from the first 5 l

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

43,200 serial numbers can be generated

Step-by-step explanation:

The ordering for the letters and the digits are important. For example, 012 constitutes a different serial number than 210. So we use the permutations formula to solve this question.

Permutations formula:

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

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

How many serial numbers can be generated

3 letters, from the first five of the alphabet

3 digits, from a set of 10

$T = P_{5,3}*P_{10,3} = \frac{5!}{(5-3)!}*\frac{10!}{(10-3)!} = 43200$

43,200 serial numbers can be generated

Solve the compound inequality |3x-9|≤15 and |2x-3|≥5. Give answer in interval notation.

laila [671]

Answer:

The solution of |3x-9|≤15 is [-2;8] and the solution |2x-3|≥5 of is (-∞,2] ∪ [8,∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

When solving absolute value inequalities, there are two cases to consider.

Case 1: The expression within the absolute value symbols is positive.

Case 2: The expression within the absolute value symbols is negative.

The solution is the intersection of the solutions of these two cases.

In other words, for any real numbers a and b,

if |a|> b then a>b or a<-b
if |a|-b

So, being |3x-9|≤15

Solving: 3x-9 ≤ 15

3x ≤15 + 9

3x ≤24

x ≤24÷3

x≤8

or 3x-9 ≥ -15

3x ≥-15 +9

3x ≥-6

x ≥ (-6)÷3

x ≥ -2

The solution is made up of all the intervals that make the inequality true. Expressing the solution as an interval: [-2;8]

So, being |2x-3|≥5

Solving: 2x-3 ≥ 5

2x ≥ 5 + 3

2x ≥8

x ≥8÷2

x≥8

or 2x-3 ≤ -5

2x ≤-5 +3

2x ≤-2

x ≤ (-2)÷2

x ≤ -2

Expressing the solution as an interval: (-∞,2] ∪ [8,∞)
