To get the total number of games possible, we will use the combination formula. 
Total number of games :  _{10}C_{2} = 45

Total of 45 games in the whole tournament.

Meanwhile, if there would be boy-versus-boy, we will have _{5}C_{2}
The answer is 10. 

The fraction for boy-versus-boy game will be 10/45 or 2/9 when simplified.

Find a power series representation for the function. (give your power series representation centered at x = 0. ) f(x) = ln(5 − x
klio [65]

Recall that for |x|, we have the convergent geometric series

\displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^\infty x^n = \frac1{1-x}

Now, for \left|\frac x5\right| < 1, we have

\dfrac1{5 - x} = \dfrac15 \cdot \dfrac1{1 - \frac x5} = \dfrac15 \displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^\infty \left(\frac x5\right)^n = \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{x^n}{5^{n+1}}

Integrating both sides gives

\displaystyle \int \frac{dx}{5-x} = C + \int \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{x^n}{5^{n+1}} \, dx

\displaystyle -\ln(5-x) = C + \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{x^{n+1}}{5^{n+1}(n+1)}

If we let x=0, the sum on the right side drops out and we're left with C=-\ln(5).

It follows that

\displaystyle \ln(5-x) = \ln(5) - \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{x^{n+1}}{5^{n+1}(n+1)}

or

\displaystyle \ln(5-x) = \boxed{\ln(5) - \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{x^n}{5^n n}}

What is the solution to the system of equations below?
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

A. (9, –36)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equations are given as:

i) y = -3x - 9

ii) y= 1/3 x - 39

Use equation i) in equation ii)

-3x - 9 = 1/3 x - 39 -------multiply each term by 3 to remove the fraction

-9 x - 27 = x - 117

collect like terms

-9 x- x = -117 + 27

-10 x = -90

10x = 90

x = 90 / 10

x = 9 ------------iii

Use equation iii  in i

y = -3x - 9  

y = -3 * 9 - 9

y= -27 - 9

y= -36

Hence,

x = 9  , y = -36

It is desired to estimate the average total compensation of CEOs in the service industry. Data were randomly collected from 18 C
Sati [7]

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Remaining part of the question

a. Yes, and I am sure of that.

b. Yes, and I am 95% confident of that.

c. No, and I am sure of that.

d. No, and I am 95% confident of that.

Solution

The compensation in the range of 95 %  is ($2,190,000, $4,720,000). This indicate that there are 95% chances that a given CEO compensation will fall with in the give range.

The given salary range is $5,000,000 which does not lie in the given range. Hence, it is in the region of the graph or bell curve where there are 5% chances that the given salary range will not fall into the given salary range i,e ($2,190,000, $4,720,000)

Hence, the actual average total compensation of CEOs in the service industry can or cannot be  $5,000,000

Hence, option C is correct

Use Cramer's Rule to solve the following system: –2x – 6y = –26 5x + 2y = 13
Tresset [83]

By Cramer's rule, the solution can be found as the ratio of determinants. The numerator is the matrix with the right-side constants replacing the coefficients of the variable of interest. The denominator is the matrix of coefficients.

x=\displaystyle\frac{det\left[\begin{array}{cc}-26&-6\\13&2\end{array}\right]}{det\left[\begin{array}{cc}-2&-6\\5&2\end{array}\right]}=\frac{(-26)(2)-(13)(-6)}{(-2)(2)-(5)(-6)}\\\\=\frac{26}{26}=1\\\\y=\frac{det\left[\begin{array}{cc}-2&-26\\5&13\end{array}\right]}{26}=\frac{(-2)(13)-(5)(-26)}{26}\\\\=\frac{104}{26}=4

The solution is ...

... B. (1, 4)
