Answer:

d. 12√37 / 37

Step-by-step explanation:

standard formula for the distance between a point (x₀,y₀) and a line ax+by+c=0 is |a*x₀ + b*y₀ + c| / √a²+b²

(x₀,y₀) : (-2 , 3)

ax+by+c=0 : 6x - y +3 = 0

x₀ = -2 y₀ = 3 a = 6 b = -1 c = 3

d = | 6*(-2) + (-1)*3 + 3 | / √6²+(-1)²

d = 12 / √37 = 12√37 / 37

A town orchestra needs 3 new flute players and 4 new trumpet players. 8 flutists and 11 trumpeters try out, then the orchestra should select 3 flutists from 8 and 4 trumpeters form 11.

They can choose 3 flutists from 8 in

$C_8^3=\dfrac{8!}{3!(8-3)!}=\dfrac{8!}{3!\cdot 5!}=\dfrac{1\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 4\cdot 5\cdot 6\cdot 7\cdot 8}{1\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 1\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 4\cdot 5} =56$ ways.

They can choose 4 flutists from 11 in

$C_{11}^4=\dfrac{11!}{4!(11-4)!}=\dfrac{11!}{4!\cdot 7!}=\dfrac{1\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 4\cdot 5\cdot 6\cdot 7\cdot 8\cdot 9\cdot 10\cdot 11}{1\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 4\cdot 1\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 4\cdot 5\cdot 6\cdot 7} =330$ ways.
