A choir has 3 spots open for altos, and 8 altos are interested in them. In how many ways can the open spots be filled?

Answers

Answer 1
Since order is not important for unique combinations, we need to apply the "n choose k" formula....

n!/(k!(n-k)!), n=number of elements to choose from, k=number of choices made

In this case:

8!/(3!(8-3)!)

56

So there are 56 unique threesomes possible with 8 members.
Answer 2

There are total 56 ways to fill the open spot .

What is combination?

A combination is a way for determining the number of possible arrangements in a collection of items where the order of selection does not matter.

Formula for combination

[tex]C(n, r) =\frac{n!}{(n - r)!r!}[/tex]

where,

n is the number of items in set.

r is the number of items selected from the set.

According to the question we have,

Number of altos, n = 8

Number of  open spots, r = 3

Therefore, the number of ways to fill open spots = C(8, r)

Number of ways = [tex]\frac{8!}{3!(8-3)!}[/tex]

Number of ways = [tex]\frac{8!}{5!3!}[/tex][tex]= \frac{(8)(7)(6)(5!)}{5!3!}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{(8)(7)(6)}{(3)(2)} =8(7) = 56[/tex]

Hence, there are total 56 ways to fill the open spot .

The length of a rectangle is 2 cm less than 6 times the width. find the possibilities for the width of the rectangle such that the area is not more than 840 cm2

Answers

To solve this problem, let us first assign the variables. Let us say that:

l = length of rectangle

w= width of rectangle

The given problem gives us the relation that:

l = 6 w – 2                            ---> 1

We know that the formula for area of rectangle is given as:

A = l w                                   ---> 2

Substituting equation 1 into 2:

A = (6 w – 2) w

A = 6 w^2 – 2 w

The area must not be greater 840 cm^2, therefore:

840 cm^2 = 6 w^2 – 2 w

w^2 – (1/3) w = 140

By completing the square:

w^2 – (1/3) w + (1/36) = 140 + (1/36)

(w – 1/6)^2 = 5041/36

w – 1/6 = ± 11.83

w = -11.66, 12

 

Therefore the maximum value that the width can take is 12 cm. Therefore the possibilities of width such that the area does not exceed 840 cm^2 is from 1 to 12 cm.

 

Answer:

1 cm to 12 cm

15-3 7/8
What is 15 minus 3 and 7 8ths

Answers

Solution of equqation 15 - 3 7/8 is 11 1/8.

To solve 15 - 3 7/8, you need to follow these steps:

Convert the mixed number 3 7/8 to an improper fraction.Subtract this fraction from 15.

First, convert 3 7/8 to an improper fraction:

3 7/8 = (3 * 8 + 7) / 8 = 31/8

Next, convert 15 to a fraction with a common denominator of 8:

15 = 120/8

Now you subtract the improper fraction from the whole number fraction:

120/8 - 31/8 = (120 - 31) / 8 = 89/8

Convert the result back to a mixed number:

89/8 = 11 1/8

So, 15 minus 3 and 7/8 is 11 1/8.

We have been given that " 7 times a number is decreased by 8, the answer is the same as when 3 times the number is increased by 4".

Let the unknown number be x.

7x - 8 = 3x + 4

To solve the equation;

if directix is above focus, then it opens down and a is negaitve

vertex is in between directix and focus


so

so directix is above
a is negative

directly in between
distance from -1 to 1 is 2

what is the length of a circle that has a central angle of 98 degrees and 6 cm?

Answers

I think the length referred to here is the arc length. For convenience, let us just proceed to the derived formulas for circular geometry. The formula for arc length, S, is

S = (n/360)(Perimeter)

The variable n is the measure of the central angle that intercepts the arc. In this case, n = 98°. The perimeter of the circle is equal to 2πr. Substituting the values,

S = (98°/360°)(2×π× 6 cm)
S = 10.26 cm

There is also a formula that is easier to remember, but you have to convert degrees to radians. The conversion is 180° = π radians. The formula is

S = rθ
S = (6 cm)(98°)(π/180°)
S = 10.26 cm

Thus, the arc length is 10.26 cm.

The area of a square garden is 200 m². How long is the diagonal?

100 m

10 sqrt of 2

200 m

20 m

Answers

Answer: 20 m 
Since we know that a square has four equal sides, we can find out the sides by taking the square root of the given area, which is 200 m^2.
Now we know that the sides of the square are 10 radical 2. However, the question is asking for the length of the diagonal. We can find out the diagonal of the square by slicing up the square into two triangles by drawing a diagonal from one corner to the other. We know that a square has 4 right angles. And we also know that the triangles are going to be a 45-45-90 degree triangle. Since we already know the side which is 10 radical 2, all we have to do is multiply radical 2 to it which is equal to 10 x 2= 20m 
Final answer:

To find the length of the diagonal of a square garden, you can use the Pythagorean theorem. In this case, the length of the diagonal is approximately 14.14 meters.

Explanation:

To find the length of the diagonal of a square garden, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

In this case, the two shorter sides of the right triangle are the sides of the square garden. Let's call each side x. The hypotenuse (the diagonal) will be the side we are trying to find.

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have: x^2 + x^2 = diagonal^2. Since the area of the square garden is 200 m², we can set up the equation: x^2 + x^2 = 200. Combining like terms, we get: 2x^2 = 200. Dividing both sides by 2, we have x^2 = 100. Taking the square root of both sides, we find that x = 10.

Therefore, each side of the square garden is 10 meters. And using the Pythagorean theorem one more time, we can find the length of the diagonal: diagonal^2 = 10^2 + 10^2. Simplifying, we get diagonal^2 = 200. Taking the square root of both sides, we find that the length of the diagonal is approximately 14.14 meters.

How do you use the additive inverse to evaluate an expression that uses subtraction

Answers

Answer:

Additive inverse is the negative of the number, i.e. what you add to the number to get zero.

So the additive inverse of number b is - b

Additive inverse of 4 is - 4.

Then, you can verify the subtraction is the same that add the additive inverse.

For example subtracting 4 from 10 (10 - 4) is the same that adding -4:

10 - 4 = 10 + (-4).

Then given any expression if you have to subtract other expressión you just add the addive inverse of the second expression.

For example: given A(x) = x^2 + 3x + 5 and B(x) = 2x + 4

Find A(x) - B(x) = A(x) + [-B(x)]

=> x^2 + 3x + 5 + (-2x -4) = x^2 + 3x - 2x + 5 - 4 = x^2 + x + 1

There are 16 boys in an English class of 28 students. The ratio of boys to the total number of students in this class is typical of the whole school. There are 476 students in the school. About how many are boys?

Answers

In order to solve this problem, it is best to set up a proportion.  The proportion you would use is 16/28=x/476.  Cross multiply and then divide both sides of the equation by 28 to get x.  So, there are about 272 boys in the total of 476 students in the school.

The number of the boys in the school is 272.

What is multiplication?

Multiplication is mathematical arithmetic operation. It is also a process of adding same types of expression to some number of times.

Example - 2 × 3 means 2 is added three times or 3 is added 2 times.

Given, the ratio of boys to the total number of students in this class is typical of the whole school.

That means,

16 : 28 = x : 476

where x is the number of boys in the school.

Simplifying,

16/28 = x/476

Using cross multiplication,

x = 16 x 476/ 28

x = 272

Therefore, the number of the boys in the school is 272.
