Answer: The required number of ways is 14.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Darlene is adopting a pet and she can choose from 8 kittens and 6 puppies.

We are to find the number of ways in which she can choose a pet to adopt.

We have

the total number of pets that are available to choose from is given by

$n=8+6\\\\\Rightarrow n=14.$

Since Darlene is going to adopt only one pet, so we have

$r=1.$

Therefore, the number of ways in which she can choose a pet to adopt is given by

$^nC_r\\\\=^{14}C_1\\\\\\=\dfrac{14!}{1!(14-1)!}\\\\\\=\dfrac{14!}{1!13!}\\\\\\=\dfrac{14\times13!}{1\times13!}\\\\=14.$

Thus, the required number of ways is 14.

What is the difference between an irrational number and an integer? (PLZ HELP ME ANSWER ASAP!!!! All help is appreciated! :D)

enot [183]

So, first off it would help if you could define the terms irrational number and integer. Well, an irrational number is basically any real number that can't be expressed as a ratio of integers. They also cannot be represented by terminating or continuing decimals. And an integer is pretty much any number that cannot be written as a fraction or decimal, such as -2, 13, 257. It is not 2 and 1/2, or 4.75. Those would not be integers. Do you think you can figure out the difference?

Which of the following is a correct equation for the line passing through the point (-2,1) and having slope m= 1/2?

Taya2010 [7]

Incomplete Question the complete Qs is

Which of the following is a correct equation for the line passing through the point (-2,1) and having slope m = 1/2?

a: y=1/2x+2

b: y=-2x+1/2

c: x-2y=-4

d: y-1=1/2(x+2)

Answer:

The Correct option is c. x-2y=-4

Therefore the correct equation for the line passing through the point (-2,1) and having slope m= 1/2 is

$x-2y=-4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$Slope = m =\dfrac{1}{2}$

point A(x₁, y₁)=(-2,1)

To Find:

Equation of Line =?

Solution:

Equation of a line passing through a points A( x₁ , y₁) and having slope m is given by the formula,

i.e equation in point - slope form

$(y-y_{1})=m(x-x_{1})$

Now on substituting the slope and point A( x₁ , y₁) ≡ ( -2 , 1) we get

$(y-1)=\dfrac{1}{2}(x-(-2))\\\\2y-2=x+2\\x-2y=-2-2=-4\\x-2y=-4$ As required

Therefore the correct equation for the line passing through the point (-2,1) and having slope m= 1/2 is

$x-2y=-4$
