a) How many different ways could the course unfold, given that it probably matters what order you read the books in?
b) How many different choices of books could the class make?
a) The number of different ways the course could unfold is

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 840 different ways

b) 35 different choices of books

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that our literature class will read a total of 4 novels this year.

All novels chosen by class vote from a list of 7 possible books offered by the teacher.

Wherever we have an experiment [tex]''N''[/tex] which is formed by sub - experiments that can occurred in [tex]m_{1},m_{2},...,m_{n}[/tex] ways, the total number of ways in which the whole experiment [tex]''N''[/tex] can be developed is :

[tex]m_{1}[/tex] x [tex]m_{2}[/tex] x ... x [tex]m_{n}[/tex]

Then, for a) if it matters what order we read the books in, the total number of different ways could the course unfold is :

[tex](7).(6).(5).(4)=840[/tex] (I)

Because for the first book there are 7 different choices. Now, given that we choose the first book, we only have 6 different choices for the second one.

Continuing with the idea, we deduce the equation (I).

For item b) :

Wherever we have [tex]''n''[/tex] different objects and we want to find the ways that we can choose [tex]''r''[/tex] objects from that group, we need to use the combinatorial number.

We define the combinatorial number as :

[tex]nCr=\left(\begin{array}{c}n&r\end{array}\right)=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}[/tex]

Then, if we apply this to the problem, the total different choices of books if we want 4 novels voting from a total of 7 possible books is :

[tex]7C4=\frac{7!}{4!(7-4)!}=35[/tex]

a) 840 different ways

b) 35 different choices of books

The points (-1, r) and (2, 1) lie on a line with slope 2. Find the missing coordinate r
Please help!!!

Answers

Answer:

r = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

(-1, r)

(2, 1)

r - 1/-1 - 2 = r - 1/-3

Slope = 2

-3 x 2 = -6

-6 -(-1) = -5

-5 - 1 = -6

-6/-3 = 2

So:

r = -5

Hope this helps!

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  r = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-coordinate of the partially-defined point is 3 units less than the x-coordinate of the given point. The slope of 2 tells you the y-coordinate of the partial point (r) will be 2·3 = 6 units less than the y-coordinate of the given point. That is ...

  r = 1 - 2·3

  r = -5

__

You are given the slope of the line and a point on it, so you can write the point-slope equation of the line:

  y -y1 = m(x -x1) . . . . . . . line with slope m through point (x1, y1).

For the given point and slope, this is ...

  y -1 = 2(x -2)

For an x-value of -1, the corresponding y-value will be ...

  r = 2(-1-2) +1 = -6 +1

  r = -5

Orville was out bicycling with his brother Wilbur. Orville stopped to fix a flat tire. Wilbur continued at 10 mph. After 30 minutes, Orville had fixed the flat, and he rode off at 12 mph in pursuit of Wilbur. In how many hours did Orville catch up to Wilbur?

Answers

Answer:

Orville caught up with Wilbur in 2.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the number of hours it took for Orville to catch up to Wilbur

Mathematically,

distance = speed * time

The distance traveled before Orville restarted his own journey is ;

distance = 10 mph * 0.5 = 5 miles

(30 minutes is 30/60= 0.5 hours)

So this means that Wilbur was now 5 miles ahead of Orville

Now, let the number of hours it took to

catch up Wilbur be h

In h hours,

Wilbur would have traveled 5 miles + 10h

In this same time, Orville would have traveled

12 * h = 12h

So the distance traveled by the two will be equal at this h hour

5 + 10h = 12h

12h-10h = 5

2h = 5

h = 5/2

h = 2.5 hours

Answers

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equations :

6.01 × □ = 601 No 0.305 × □ = 305 No 0.54 × □ = 540 No 0.097 × □ = 970 Yes

Will the number 103 will make each true?

601 / 6.01= 100 (No, not true)

305 / 0.305 = 1000 (No, not true)

540 / 0.54 = 100 (No, not true)

970 / 0.097 = 10000 (No, not true)

Hence, multiplying each of the equation above by 103 will not make any of the equations true.

Step-by-step explanation:

okay we are going to place 3 where the x variable is and -2 where the y variable is in the equation 2 x2 - y

2 (3*2) - (-2)

the equation now looks like this:

2(6) - (-2)

Since the subtraction sign is in front of the negative number the negative number will turn positive making the equation look like this:

2(6) + 2

we are now going to do the order of operations by multiplying 6 by 2 before adding 2:

6 * 2 = 12 + 2 = 14

So the equation 2 x2 - y = 14

For a segment of a radio show a disc jockey can play 8 records. If there are 10 records to select from, in how many ways can the program for thid segment be arragned

Answers

Answer:

45 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Combination method is appropriate for this question since it deals with arrangement.

i.e [tex]^{n}C_{r}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{n!}{(n - r)!r!}[/tex]

Since 8 records are to be selected from 10 available records. Then, the number of ways for the arrangement of the records can be determined as;

Let n = 10 and r = 8

[tex]^{10}C_{8} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{10!}{(10 - 8)!8!}[/tex]

       = [tex]\frac{10!}{2!8!}[/tex]

       = [tex]\frac{10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2!}{2!8*7*6*5*4*3*2!}[/tex]

       = [tex]\frac{10*9}{2}[/tex]

       = 45

Therefore, the number of ways by which the records can be arranged is 45.

Answers

Complete question :

From points A and B, the distance between which is 1020 mi, two trains left simultaneously towards each other. The speed of one train was 10 mph greater than the speed of the other one. In 5 hours the trains had not met yet and were 170 mi apart. Find the speed of the trains.

Answer:

Train A = 80 miles per hour

Train B = 90 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Distance between A and B = 1020

Let the speed of A = x

Speed of B = x + 10

Since they both left simultaneously;

Distance traveled after 5 hours will be :

Distance = speed * time

A = x * 5 = 5x

B = (x + 10) * 5 = 5x + 50

After the distance traveled by each of A and B, they are still 170 miles apart

Hence, distance covered after 5 hours ;

Total miles - miles left

1020 - 170 = 850 miles

Hence,

5x + 5x + 50 = 850

10x = 850 - 50

10x = 800

x = 80

Train A = 80 miles per hour

Train B = 80 + 10 = 90 miles per hour

Answers

Answer:

y=1/3x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that all of the '13' 's are suppost to be 1/3, it is y=1/3x+2

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is

[tex]y= \frac{1}{3} x+2[/tex]

Given :

A line passes through (0, 2) and has a slope of 1/3

The equation of a line in slope intercept form is y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

From the given information , we know that slope [tex]m=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

The line passes through (0,2) that is our y intercept b

b= 2

Replace slope [tex]m= \frac{1}{3}[/tex] and b=2 in slope intercept form y=mx+b

[tex]y= \frac{1}{3} x+2[/tex]

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is
