<h3>Answers:</h3>
  • Problem 10) There are 220 combinations
  • Problem 11) There are 126 combinations
  • Problem 12) There are 154,440 permutations
  • Problem 13) There are 300 different ways

============================================================

Explanations:

Problem 10

The order of the toppings doesn't matter. All that matter is the group itself. We'll use the combination formula nCr = (n!)/(r!*(n-r)!) where n = 12 and r = 3 in this case.

So,

nCr = (n!)/(r!*(n-r)!)

12C3 = (12!)/(3!*(12-3)!)

12C3 = (12!)/(3!*9!)

12C3 = (12*11*10*9!)/(3!*9!)

12C3 = (12*11*10)/(3*2*1)

12C3 = 1320/6

12C3 = 220

-------------------------

Problem 11

Like with problem 10, the order doesn't matter. This is assuming that each member on any given team has the same rank as any other member.

If you used the nCr combination formula, with n = 9 and r = 5, you should get the answer 126

Here's another way to get that answer.

There are 9*8*7*6*5 = 15120 different permutations. If order mattered, then we'd go for this value instead of 126

Within any group of five people, there are 5! = 120 different ways to arrange them. So we must divide that 15120 figure by 120 to get the correct value of 126 combinations

15120/120 = 126

Note the connection between nCr and nPr, namely,

nCr = (nPr)/(r!)

-------------------------

Problem 12

Now this is where order matters, because the positions in basketball are different (eg: a point guard differs from a center).

We have 13 choices for the first position, 12 for the second, and so on until we reach 13-r+1 = 13-5+1 = 9 as the number of choices for that last slot.

So we'll have 13*12*11*10*9 = 154,440 different permutations

Now if the condition that "each player can play any position" isn't the case, then the answer would very likely be different. This is because for the center position, for instance, we wouldn't have 13 choices but rather however many choices we have at center. To make the problem simpler however, your teacher is stating that any player can play at any slot. Realistically, the answer would be far less than 154,440

-------------------------

Problem 13

We have 6 applications for the 2 math positions. Order doesn't matter. That means we'll have 6C2 = 15 different ways to pick the math people. Use the nCr formula mentioned in problem 10. Since we'll use this value later, let's make x = 15.

There are 2 people applying for the chemistry teaching position, meaning there are 2 ways to fill this slot. We could compute 2C1 = 2, but that's a bit overkill in my opinion. Let y = 2 so we can use it later.

Similarly, there are 10 applicants for the Spanish teacher position, leading to 10 ways to get this position filled. You could compute 10C1 = 10 if you wanted to. Let z = 10 so we can use it later.

Once we figured out those x,y,z values, we multiply them together to get our final answer: x*y*z = 15*2*10 = 30*10 = 300

There are 300 different ways to select 2 math teachers, a chemistry teacher, and a Spanish teacher from a pool of 6 math applicants, 2 chemistry applicants, and 10 Spanish teacher applicants.

Please help me I’m super confused on this problem!
Lorico [155]

Answer:

m < amc = 54°

Step-by-step explanation:

< amb and < bmc are complementary angles whose sum equals 90°.

Therefore, to find the value of 2x°, we must first solve for x.

We can establish the following equality statement:

< amb + < bmc = < amc

< 2x° + (x + 9)° = 90°

Combine like terms:

2x° + x° + 9° = 90°

3x° + 9° = 90°

Subtract 9 from both sides:

3x° + 9° - 9° = 90° - 9°

3x = 81°

Divide both sides by 3 to solve for x:

3x/3 = 81°/3

x = 27°.

Since x = 27°, substitute its value into 2x° to find m < amc:

2x° = 2(27°) = 54°

Therefore, m < amc = 54°

Express 34% as a fraction in simplest form.<br> A.3/4<br> B.34/100<br> C.8/25<br> D.17/50
Verizon [17]
Hey there!

if i am doing this correct it should be

17/50, let me explain!

.34 is 34/100 and both of these numbers are even, thus you can divide it by 2 which will give you 17/50

Hope This Helps!!!

Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line 4x+2y=1 and passes through the point (-4,3)
serious [3.7K]

First find the slope of the given line:

4x +2y = 1

Subtract 4x from each side:

2y = -4x + 1

Divide both sides by 2:

y = -2x +1/2

The slope is -2.

Now use the slope to find the y-intercept. Because  the line is perpendicular, you need to use the negative inverse of the slope.

The negative inverse of -2 is 1/2

Now using the point-slope form y - y1 = m(x-x1)

Use the inverse slope for m, and the given point(-4,3) to get:

y - 3 = 1/2(x+4)

Simplify:

y - 3 = x/2 +2

Add 3 to each side:

y = x/2 + 5

Reorder the terms to get y = 1/2x +5

The answer is D.

A line goes through the point (6,-2) and has a slope of -3. What is the value of a if the point (a,7) lies on the line?​
Vikki [24]

Answer:

<h2>a = 3</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{ y_2 - y _ 1}{x_ 2 - x_ 1}  \\

From the question the slope is - 3

To find the value of a we have

- 3 =  \frac{7 -  - 2}{a - 6}  \\  - 3 =  \frac{7 + 2}{a - 6}  \\  - 3(a - 6) = 9 \\  - 3a + 18 = 9 \\  - 3a = 9 - 18 \\  - 3a =  - 9

Divide both sides by - 3

\frac{ - 3a}{ - 3}  =  \frac{ - 9}{ - 3}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>a = 3</h3>

Hope this helps you
