Answer:

Case 1 - 50388 ways when the couple is there in the group of 8 people selected out of 20 employees.

Case 2 - 75582 ways when the couple is not there in the group of 8 people selected out of 20 employees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The couple within the group can not be separated and hence instead of taking total 20 employees , it must be taken as 19 employees.

Now if the couple is there in the selected group of 8 people, then total 7 needs to be selected out of 19 and hence the total number of ways of selecting 7 people out of 19 is

^7C_{19} = 50388

If the couple is not there in the selected group of 8 people, then the total number of ways of selecting 8 people out of 19 is

^8C_{19} = 75582

Harold wrote this equation to model the level of water in a pool over time. The variable x represents time in hours. f(x) = 3,50
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

The water level is falling.

The initial level of water in the pool was 3,500 units

The water was 2,600 units high after 4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function that models the water level is

f(x)=3,500-225x

where x represents time in hours.

The function represents a straight line that has slope m=-225

Since the slope is negative, it means the water level is falling.

The initial level of water in the pool can found when we put x=0 into the function.

f(0)=3,500-225(0)


f(0)=3,500, hence the initial level is 3,500.


To determine the level of water in the pool after 14 hours, we put x=14 into the equation to get;

f(14)=3,500-225(14)

f(14)=3,500-3150


f(14)=350


To determine the water level after 4 hours we put x=4

f(4)=3,500-225(4)

f(4)=3,500-900

f(14)=2,600
