Answer:

They can make 10 different groups of three.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order in which the people are in the car is not important, 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)!}

How many different groups of three can the five of them make?

Combinations of 3 from a set of 5. So

C_{5,3} = \frac{5!}{3!(5-3)!} = 10

They can make 10 different groups of three.

(7m-35=5+2m) how do I solve for m???
Elena L [17]
Isolate m using inverse operations, get m by itself. (addition and subtraction, mult. and div.)

7m-35=5+2m\ (subtract\ 2m) \\ 5m-35=5\ (add\ 35) \\ 5m = 40\ (divide\ by\ 40) \\ \boxed{m=8}

A diver begins at 150 feet below sea level, descends at a steady rate of 5 feet per minute for 3.5 minutes, and then ascends 122
marusya05 [52]
Start at -150, then add 3(-5), then add 122.2. -150 + 3(-5) + 122.2 = -45.3

Find the centroid for an area defined by the equations y = x² + 3 and y = - (x – 2)² + 7
meriva
The points where the 2 graphs intersect is  where x = 0 and x = 2.

-                 2                                  2
x   =    INT               x dA     /    INT        dA
                  0                                  0

INT dA   = INT -x^2 + 4x + 3 - (x^2 + 3 ) dx  =      INT -2x^2  + 4x
               =   -2 x^3/3 + 2x^2
               =   2.667  between 0 and 2

xdA  =   -2x^3 + 4x^2  INT xdA  =   -x^4/2 + 4x^3/3 = 2.667

centroid = 2.667 / 2.667  = 1  (x = 1)

Directed line segment AB has endpoints A(2,3) and B(8,15). Point P has coordinated P(6,11). What ratio does P partition AB into?
Vladimir79 [104]
Refer to the graph shown below. It confirms that points A, B and P are
 collinear.

Calculate the length of AP (as a).
a = √[(6 - 2)² + (11 - 3)²]
   = 8.9443

Calculate the length of BP (as b).
b = √[(8 - 6)² + (15 - 11)²]
   = 4.4721

Calculate ratio a/b.
a/b = 8.9443/4.4721 = 2
Therefore P partitions AB in a 2:1 ratio so that AP = 2*BP.

Answer:  2:1 ratio.
