Answer:

<em>Choose the first alternative</em>

\displaystyle P=\frac{_{1}^{6}\textrm{C}\ _{1}^{5}\textrm{C}}{_{2}^{20}\textrm{C}}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Probabilities</u>

The requested probability can be computed as the ratio between the number of ways to choose two sophomores in alternate positions (N_s) and the total number of possible choices (N_t), i.e.

\displaystyle P=\frac{N_s}{N_t}

There are 6 sophomores and 14 freshmen to choose from each separate set. There are 20 students in total

We'll assume the positions of the selections are NOT significative, i.e. student A/student B is the same as student B/student A.

To choose 2 sophomores out of the 6 available, the first position has 6 elements to choose from, the second has now only 5

_{1}^{6}\textrm{C}\ _{1}^{5}\textrm{C} \text{ ways to do it}

The total number of possible choices is

_{2}^{20}\textrm{C} \text{ ways to do it}

The probability is then

\boxed{\displaystyle P=\frac{_{1}^{6}\textrm{C}\ _{1}^{5}\textrm{C}}{_{2}^{20}\textrm{C}}}

The solution to the system -2x+5y=-15 and 5x+2y=-6 is what
cupoosta [38]

Step-by-step explanation:

−2x+5y=−15 and 5x+2y=−6

Rewrite equations:

−2x+5y=−15;5x+2y=−6

Step: Solve−2x+5y=−15for x:

−2x+5y=−15

−2x+5y+−5y=−15+−5y(Add -5y to both sides)

−2x=−5y−15

−2x−2=−5y−15−2(Divide both sides by -2)

x=52y+152

Step: Substitute52y+152forxin5x+2y=−6:

5x+2y=−6

5(52y+152)+2y=−6

292y+752=−6(Simplify both sides of the equation)

292y+752+−752=−6+−752(Add (-75)/2 to both sides)

292y=−872

292y292=−872292(Divide both sides by 29/2)

y=−3

Step: Substitute−3foryinx=52y+152:

x=52y+152

x=52(−3)+152

x=0(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer:

x=0 and y=−3

What are the domain and range of the function x^2-2x^2-4?
jonny [76]

{x}^{2}  - 2 {x}^{2}  - 4 \\  -  {x}^{2}  - 4

The Quadratic Function has the domain as the set of all real numbers.

For the range, start from minimum value to maximum value.

But because the parabola is downward as a < 0. Thus, there are no minimum value but the maximum value instead.

Therefore the range is y <= -4
