Answer:

68,600

Step-by-step explanation:

The order of the players is not important. For example, a defensive line of Shaq Lawson, Ed Oliver and Jerry Hughes is the same as a defensive line of Ed Oliver, Shaq Lawson and Jerry Hughes. So we use the combinations formula 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)!}

Defensive Lineman:

3 from a set of 8. So

C_{8,3} = \frac{8!}{3!5!} = 56

56 combinations of defensive lineman

Linebackers:

4 from a set of 7. So

C_{7,4} = \frac{7!}{4!3!} = 35

35 combinations of linebackers

Defensive backs:

4 from a set of 7. So

C_{7,4} = \frac{7!}{4!3!} = 35

35 combinations of defensive backs

How many different ways can the coach pick the 11 players to implement this particular defense?

56*35*35 = 68,600

68,600 different ways can the coach pick the 11 players to implement this particular defense

Answer:

The demabd function is:

q(p)= -4500p+18000

Step-by-step explanation:

The demand follow the linear equation q(p)=mp+b

1. When p=$2.00 and q=9000, the equation is:

9000=m(2.00)+b     (1)

2. Whe p=$4.00 and q=0, the equation is:

0=m(4.00)+b  (2)

3. Solve equation (1) for b:

9000=2m+b\\9000-2m=2m+2m+b\\9000-2m=b

4. Replace the value of b in equation (2)

0=4m+b\\0=4m+9000-2m\\0=2m+9000\\0-9000=2m+9000-9000\\-9000=2m\\\frac{-9000}{2m}=\frac{2m}{2m}\\ -4500=m

The value of m is 4500

5. Calculate b, replacing m:

0=4m+b\\\\0=4(-4500)+b\\0=-18000+b\\18000=b

The value of b is 18000

What does simplify mean in math?
Law Incorporation [45]
Simplify in Math, like in English, means to make as simple as possible - as "down to the roots as possible".

In the example = 36 + 10 . To simplify fully would be = 46 since that is as simple as it gets.

In algebra, to simplify fully might involve 14 = 2x, where to simplify fully would be to find x (x = 7)
