Answer:

Total number of ways in which first, second and third prizes will be awarded = 560

Step-by-step explanation:

As given,

There are 16 players participated in a tennis tournament.

and 3 players will be awarded for first, second, and third prize.

As we know,

ⁿCₓ = \frac{n!}{x! (n-x)!}

n = the number of items.

x = how many items are taken at a time.

As given, n = 16 , x = 3

⇒¹⁶C₃ = \frac{16!}{3! (16-3)!} = \frac{16!}{3! (13)!}  = \frac{16.15.14.13!}{3! (13)!} = \frac{16.15.14}{3!} = \frac{16.15.14}{3.2.1} = \frac{3360}{6} = 560

∴ we get

Total number of ways in which first, second and third prizes will be awarded = 560

Determine whether the equation x^3 - 3x + 8 = 0 has any real root in the interval [0, 1]. Justify your answer.
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

The equation does not have a real root in the interval \rm [0,1]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can make use of the intermediate value theorem.

The theorem states that if f is a continuous function whose domain is the interval [a, b], then it takes on any value between f(a) and f(b) at some point within the interval. There are two corollaries:

  1. If a continuous function has values of opposite sign inside an interval, then it has a root in that interval. This is also known as Bolzano's theorem.
  2. The image of a continuous function over an interval is itself an interval.

Of course, in our case, we will make use of the first one.

First, we need to proof that our function is continues in \rm [0,1], which it is since every polynomial is a continuous function on the entire line of real numbers. Then, we can apply the first corollary to the interval \rm [0,1], which means to evaluate the equation in 0 and 1:

f(x)=x^3-3x+8\\f(0)=8\\f(1)=6

Since both values have the same sign, positive in this case, we can say that by virtue of the first corollary of the intermediate value theorem the equation does not have a real root in the interval \rm [0,1]. I attached a plot of the equation in the interval \rm [-2,2] where you can clearly observe how the graph does not cross the x-axis in the interval.

What is the volume of the composite figure? (Round to the nearest hundredth. Use 3.14 for x.)
marshall27 [118]

The volume of the composite figure is the third option 385.17 cubic centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The composite figure consists of a cone and a half-sphere on top.

We will have to calculate the volumes of the cone and the half-sphere separately and then add them to obtain the total volume.

Step 2:

The volume of a cone is determined by multiplying \frac{1}{3} with π, the square of the radius (r²) and height (h). Here we substitute π as 3.1415.

The radius is 4 cm and the height is 15 cm.

The volume of the cone :

V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h = \frac{1}{3} (3.1415)(4^{2} )(15) = 251.32 cubic cm.

Step 3:

The area of a half-sphere is half of a full sphere.

The volume of a sphere is given by multiplying \frac{4}{3} with π and the cube of the radius (r³).

Here the radius is 4 cm. We take π as 3.1415.

The volume of a full sphere \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} = \frac{4}{3} (3.1415) (4^{3}) = 268.07 cubic cm.

The volume of the half-sphere =\frac{1}{2} (268.07) = 134.037 cubic cm.

Step 4:

The total volume = The volume of the cone + The volume of the half sphere,

The total volume 251.32+134.037 = 385.357 cub cm. This is closest to the third option 385.17 cubic centimeters.

If you guys can answer this then please help
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

64°

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to find the angle situated in R, the addition of all angles in a triangle is 180° so that means:

x + 68 + 48 = 180

x = 180-116 = 64°

Now, remember that this angle (64°) is the same as this one = ?, thanks to one property.

So basically, that angle has the same value as that one.

? = 64°

Hope it was helpful ;)
