CONTEXT: Coach Bennet’s high school basketball team has 14 players, consisting of six juniors and eight seniors. Coach Bennet must select three players from the team to participate in a summer basketball clinic.

Answers

Answer 1

Using the combination formula, it is found that:

There are 364 different orders of top-three finishers that include all seniors.

The probability that the top-three finishers will all be seniors is 15.38%.

The order in which the players are taken is not important, hence the combination formula is used to solve this question.

What is the combination formula?

[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by:

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

In total, three students are taken from a set of 14, hence:

[tex]C_{14,3} = \frac{14!}{3!11!} = 364[/tex]

Including only seniors, it would be three students from a set of 8, hence:

[tex]C_{8,3} = \frac{8!}{3!5!} = 56[/tex]

Hence the probability is given by:

p = 56/364 = 0.1538 = 15.38%.

Parallel to y=−3/4x, through (4, -1)

Answers

Answer:

y = -3/4x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The line is parallel to y = -3/4x and passes through the point (4, -1)

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

Solving :

⇒ As they are parallel, the slope remains the same (-3/4)

Now apply into the point slope formula :

⇒ y + 1 = -3/4 (x - 4)

⇒ y + 1 = -3/4x + 3

y = -3/4x + 2 [in slope-intercept form]

Which equation represents a line that is parallel to the line that passes through the points (−6,9) and (7,−17)?

Answers

Answer: y - 17 = -2(x-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)

m = y2-y1/x2-x1

   = 9+17/-6-7

   = 26/-13

   = -2

y1 = -17

x1 = 7

y - 17 = -2(x-7)

The equation represents a line that is parallel to the line that passes through the points (−6,9) and (7,−17) is y =  -2x - 3

What is the general equation of a straight line?

The general equation of a straight line is-

y = mx + c

where, m is the gradient and is given by y₂ - y₁/x₂ - x₁

and, c is the value where the line cuts y-axis.

Now it is given that the line passes through points (−6,9) and (7,−17)

Therefore we have,

x₁ = -6, y₁ = 9, x₂ = 7, y₂ = -17

So, the slope m of the line is given as,

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Put the values,

m = (-17 - 9)/(7 - (-6))

m = -26/7+6

m = -26/13

m = -2

Thus, the equation parallel to the line will be given as:

y - y₁ =  m(x - x₁)

y - 9 =  -2{x - (-6)}

y - 9 =  -2(x + 6)

y =  -2x - 12 + 9

y =  -2x - 3

Thus, the equation represents a line that is parallel to the line that passes through the points (−6,9) and (7,−17) is y =  -2x - 3

You need to invest $1000 in a bank account and are give two options. The first option is to earn $50 every month you leave the money in the account. The second one is to earn 3% interest each month. Describe each of these two functions and make a table of values for each for several months. Which account would you choose?

Answers

Answer:

Option 1

Earn $50 every month.

Let x = number of months the money is left in the accountLet y = the amount in the accountInitial amount = $1,000

[tex]\implies y = 50x + 1000[/tex]

This is a linear function.

Option 2

Earn 3% interest each month.

(Assuming the interest earned each month is compounding interest.)

Let x = number of months the money is left in the accountLet y = the amount in the accountInitial amount = $1,000

[tex]\implies y = 1000(1.03)^x[/tex]

This is an exponential function.

Table of values

[tex]\large \begin{array}{| c | l | l |}\cline{1-3} & \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{\sf Account\:Balance} \\ \cline{1-3} & \sf Option\:1 & \sf Option\:2 \\\sf Month & \sf \$50\:per\:mth & \sf 3\%\:per\:mth \\\cline{1-3} 0 & \$1000 & \$1000 \\\cline{1-3} 1 & \$1050 & \$1030 \\\cline{1-3} 2 & \$1100 & \$1060.90 \\\cline{1-3} 3 & \$1150 & \$1092.73 \\\cline{1-3} 4 & \$1200 & \$1125.51 \\\cline{1-3} 5 & \$1250 & \$1159.27 \\\cline{1-3} 6 & \$1300 & \$1194.05 \\\cline{1-3} 7 & \$1350 & \$1229.87 \\\cline{1-3}\end{array}[/tex]

From the table of values, it appears that Account Option 1 is the best choice, as the accumulative growth of this account is higher than the other account option.

However, there will be a point in time when Account Option 2 starts accruing more than Account Option 2 each month.  To find this, graph the two functions and find the point of intersection.

From the attached graph, Account Option 1 accrues more until month 32.  From month 33, Account Option 2 accrues more in the account.

Conclusion

If the money is going to be invested for less than 33 months then Account Option 1 is the better choice.  However, if the money is going to be invested for 33 months or more, then Account Option 2 is the better choice.

If f(x)=(4x-3) / 2 and g(x) =(2x+3) / 4, which of the following is true?

A f(g(x)) =1
B f(g (x)) = 0
C f(g(x))=-1
D f(g(x)) = x

Answers

Answer:

f(g(x))= x

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=(4x-3)/2

g(x) =(2x+3)/4

f(g(x)) means use the value obtained from g(x) in the equation defined by f(x).  Since g(x) =(2x+3)/4, we can substitute (2x+3)/4 in place of the x in f(x).

If f(x)=(4x-3)/2 then use the expression (2x+3)/4 in place of "x" in (4x-3)/2

f(x)  =    (4x-3)/2

g(x) =       (2x+3)/4

f(g(x))=(4((2x+3)/4)-3)/2

f(g(x))=(((8x+12)/4)-3)/2

f(g(x))= (2x+3-3)/2

f(g(x))= 2x/2

f(g(x))= x

Triangle ABC is an isosceles right triangle. What is the measure of one base angle?

Answers

Answer:

45°

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔABC is an isosceles right triangle. So, one angle is 90°

In an isosceles triangle, base angles are congruent.

Let the base angles be x ,x

x + x +90 = 180 {Angle sum property}

   2x + 90 = 180

          2x  = 180 - 90

          2x = 90

            x = 90/2

           x = 45

Base angle = 45°

Mary is planning a costume party. She spent $375.00 as shown on the graph. How much of the money was spent, to the nearest dollar, on the following items?

1) On decorations?

2) On food?

3) On party hall rental?

4) On prizes?

5) On invitations?

Answers

This one is extremely simple, and we can use the color coded pie chart to find the cost of each of the 5 things.

For the first, decorations, Mary spent $?? as shown by the blue triangle on the pie chart. Let’s get the other ones first to total the money left over.

For the second, she spent $65 on food, as shown by the green triangle on the pie chart.

For the third, she spent $80 on party hall rental, as shown by the blue triangle on the pie chart.

For the fourth, she spent $30 on prizes, as shown by the dark blue triangle.

And for the fifth one, she spent $45 on invitations. A bit too expensive if you ask me.

Then we add all the costs together, and get 220. After adding the extra costs such as candy, costumes, and music, we get a total of $345. We would subtract this from $375 to get a total of $30 left over, which was spent on decorations. The ??? value of the light blue triangle is $30.

What is Quadrilateral?

A quadrilateral is a closed shape and a type of polygon that has four sides, four vertices and four angles. It is formed by joining four non-collinear points

If opposite angles of a quadrilateral add to 180 then it is called a cyclic quadrilateral and a circle can be inscribed in it.

Here, the opposite sides are 115 and 65

115+65=180

The other opposite sides have 90 and 90

Answers

The two boundary curves y = √(6x + 4) and y = 2x meet at

√(6x + 4) = 2x

6x + 4 = 4x²

2x² - 3x - 2 = 0

(x - 2) (2x + 1) = 0

⇒   x = -1/2 and x = 2

R is bounded to the left by the y-axis (x = 0), so R is the set

R = {(x, y) : 0 ≤ x ≤ 2 and 2x ≤ y ≤ √(6x + 4)}

Using the shell method, the volume is made up of cylindrical shells of radius x and height √(6x + 4) - 2x. So each shell of thickness ∆x contributes a volume of

2π (radius) (height) ∆x = 2π x (√(6x + 4) - 2x) ∆x
