Of the 8 students in the chess club, three will represent the club at an upcoming competition. How many different 3-person teams

xz_007 [3.2K]

I think that this is a combination problem. From the given, the 8 students are taken 3 at a time. This can be solved through using the formula of combination which is C(n,r) = n!/(n-r)!r!. In this case, n is 8 while r is 3. Hence, upon substitution of the values, we have

C(8,3) = 8!/(8-3)!3!
C(8,3) = 56

There are 56 3-person teams that can be formed from the 8 students.

A plane flying horizontally at an altitude of 1 mile and a speed of 510 mi/h passes directly over a radar station. Find the rate

sdas [7]

Answer:

442 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

To properly solve this question, I illustrate some given parameters using attached image

From the image, apply Pythagoras theorem

$x^2 + 1^2 = y^2$

Differentiate w.r.t time (t)

$2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 0 = 2y\frac{dy}{dt}$

$2x\frac{dx}{dt} = 2y\frac{dy}{dt}$

Divide both sides by 2

$x\frac{dx}{dt} = y\frac{dy}{dt}$

From the question, we have that the plan travels are 510mi/h.

This implies that:

$\frac{dx}{dt} = 510mi/h$

So, we then calculate the value of x when the distance (y) is 2mi i.e.:

$y = 2mi$

Apply Pythagoras theorem

$x^2 + 1^2 = y^2$

$x^2 + 1^2 = 2^2$

$x^2 + 1 = 4$

$x^2 = 4-1$

$x^2 = 3$

$x = \sqrt 3$

So, the expression becomes:

$x\frac{dx}{dt} = y\frac{dy}{dt}$

$\sqrt 3 * 510 = 2* \frac{dy}{dt}$

$\frac{\sqrt 3 * 510}{2} = \frac{dy}{dt}$

$\sqrt 3 * 255 = \frac{dy}{dt}$

$\frac{dy}{dt} = 255\sqrt 3$

$\frac{dy}{dt} = 255 * 1.7321$

$\frac{dy}{dt} = 441.655$

$\frac{dy}{dt} = 442$

<em>Hence, the distance is 442 miles</em>

Enter the coefficients of the fifth Taylor polynomial T5(x) for the function f(x) = x5−3x4+2x2+5x−2 based at b=1. T5(x)= + (x−1)

DENIUS [597]

Compute the necessary values/derivatives of $f(x)$ at $x=1$ :

$f(1)=3$

$f'(1)=2$

$f''(1)=-12$

$f'''(1)=-12$

$f^{(4)}(1)=48$

$f^{(5)}(1)=120$

Taylor's theorem then says we can "approximate" (in quotes because the Taylor polynomial for a polynomial is another, exact polynomial) $f(x)$ at $x=1$ by

$T_5(x)=\dfrac3{0!}+\dfrac2{1!}(x-1)-\dfrac{12}{2!}(x-1)^2-\dfrac{12}{3!}(x-1)^3+\dfrac{48}{4!}(x-1)^4+\dfrac{120}{5!}(x-1)^5$

$T_5(x)=3+2(x-1)-6(x-1)^2-2(x-1)^3+2(x-1)^4+(x-1)^5$

###

Another way of doing this would be to solve for the coefficients $a,b,c,d,e,g$ in

$f(x)=a+b(x-1)+c(x-1)^2+d(x-1)^3+e(x-1)^4+g(x-1)^5$

by expanding the right hand side and matching up terms with the same power of $x$ .
