Answer: The number of possibilities = 380

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, There are 20 players on a soccer team. From them, a captain and an alternate captain have to be chosen.

Since, captain and alternate captain comes in order.

Number of ways to choose r things out of n things (when order matters) :

[tex]^nP_r=\dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!}[/tex]

Number of ways to choose 2 players ( for  captain and alternate captain ) from 20 players :

Hence, the number of possibilities = 380

Answer:

(5, 11) and (2, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = (x-2)² + 2

y + 4 = 3x

(x-2)² + 2 + 4 = 3x

x² - 4x + 4 + 6 = 3x

x² - 7x + 10 = 0

(x - 5)(x - 2) = 0

x - 5 = 0, x = 5

x - 2 = 0, x = 2

y = (5-2)² + 2 = 11

(5, 11)

y = (2-2)² + 2 = 2

(2, 2)

Answer:

[tex]\large \boxed{\sf \bf \ \text{ The solutions are } x=2, y=2 \text{ and } x=5, y=11.} \ \ }[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, please consider the following.

We want to solve this system of equations.

[tex]\begin{cases}&y=(x-2)^2+2\\&y+4=3x\end{cases}[/tex]

This is equivalent to (subtract 4 from the second equation).

[tex]\begin{cases}&y=(x-2)^2+2\\&y=3x-4\end{cases}[/tex]

Then, we can write y = y, meaning:

[tex](x-2)^2+2=3x-4\\\\\text{*** We develop the left side. ***}\\\\x^2-4x+4+2=3x-4 \\\\\text{*** We simplify. *** }\\\\x^2-4x+6=3x-4\\\\\text{*** We subtract 3x-4 from both sides. ***}\\\\x^2-4x+6-3x+4=0\\\\\text{*** We simplify. *** }\\\\x^2-7x+10=0[/tex]

[tex]\text{*** The sum of the zeroes is 7 and the product 10 = 5 x 2 ***}\\\\\text{*** We can factorise. ***}\\\\x^2-5x-2x+10=x(x-5)-2(x-5)=(x-2)(x-5)=0\\\\x-2 = 0 \ \ or \ \ x-5 = 0\\\\x= 2 \ \ or \ \ x=5[/tex]

For x = 2, y =0+2=2 (from the first equation) and for x = 5 y=3*5-4=15-4=11 (from the second equation)

So the solutions are (2,2) and (5,11)

Answer: 40 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The woman weight and the seat will be: 145lb + 5lb = 150lb,

her son weight and the seat will be: 95lb + 5lb = 100lb

her daughter weight and the seat will be: 70lb + 5lb = 75lb

Given that the woman is on the left side of the seesaw, 60 inches from the fulcrum. The moment of the woman will be 150 × 60 = 9000

The daughter and son both get on the right side.

If the son sits 60 inches from the fulcrum, his moment will be:

100 × 60 = 6000

The sum of the moment of the son and daughter must be equal to the moment of their mother.

Let the position of the daughter = X

The moment of the daughter will be:

75 × X = 75X

Equate the moment of the mother to the sum of the moment of her children

9000 = 6000 + 75X

Collect the like terms

75X = 9000 - 6000

75X = 3000

X = 3000/75

X = 40

The position the daughter should sit to balance the seesaw is 40 inches away from seasaw to the right.

Answer:

-24

Step-by-step explanation:

g(-2) = 2(-2)

g(-2) = -4

h(4) = 4² + 4

h(4) = 16 + 4

h(4) = 20

g(-2) - h(4)

-4 - 20

= -24

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) = 2x

To find g( -2) substitute - 2 into g(x)

That's

g( -2) = 2(-2) = - 4

h(x) = x² + 4

To find h(4) substitute 4 into h(x)

That's

h(4) = (4)² + 4 = 16 + 4 = 20

So

g(-2) - h(4) is

- 4 - 20

= - 24

THIS IS THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW;

Which set of steps will translate f(x) = 6x to g(x) = 6x – 5 – 7?

Shift f(x) = 6x five units to the left and seven units up.

Shift f(x) = 6x five units to the right and seven units down.

Shift f(x) = 6x seven units to the right and five units up.

Shift f(x) = 6x seven units to the left and five units down.

Answer:

Shift f(x)=6x five units to the left and seven units down.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told to translate the function below

f(x) = 6x to g(x) = 6x – 5 – 7

Which means the process to translate f(x) into g(x) is required.

According to the translation rule

f(x)-------->f(x)+a

If a<0 it shift to downward

If a>0 it shift to upward

Then we have

(X,y) ----->((x - 5, y)

There is a shift by x coordinates towards left by 5 units

then we would have the function as

f'(x) = 6(x-5)

Following the translation rule there is a shift by the function by 7 units downward direction then we have

(x,y) ----->(x,y -7)

Then we have g(x) = 6x – 5 – 7 as our translation product.

Therefore, shift f(x)=6x five units to the left and seven units down.

Answer:

[tex]$\arcsin\left(\frac{129\sqrt{2}}{250}\right)\approx 0.8179$[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\alpha \text{ and } \beta \text{ in Quadrant I}[/tex]

[tex]$\tan(\alpha)=\frac{1}{7} \text{ and } \sin(\beta)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{10}}=\frac{\sqrt{10} }{10} $[/tex]

Using Pythagorean Identities:

[tex]\boxed{\sin^2(\theta)+\cos^2(\theta)=1} \text{ and } \boxed{1+\tan^2(\theta)=\sec^2(\theta)}[/tex]

[tex]$\left(\frac{\sqrt{10} }{10} \right)^2+\cos^2(\beta)=1 \Longrightarrow \cos(\beta)=\sqrt{1-\frac{10}{100}} =\sqrt{\frac{90}{100}}=\frac{3\sqrt{10}}{10}$[/tex]

[tex]\text{Note: } \cos(\beta) \text{ is positive because the angle is in the first qudrant}[/tex]

[tex]$1+\left(\frac{1 }{7} \right)^2=\frac{1}{\cos^2(\alpha)} \Longrightarrow 1+\frac{1}{49}=\frac{1}{\cos^2(\alpha)} \Longrightarrow \frac{50}{49} =\frac{1}{\cos^2(\alpha)} $[/tex]

[tex]$\Longrightarrow \frac{49}{50}=\cos^2(\alpha) \Longrightarrow \cos(\alpha)=\sqrt{\frac{49}{50} } =\frac{7\sqrt{2}}{10}$[/tex]

[tex]\text{Now let's find }\sin(\alpha)[/tex]

[tex]$\sin^2(\alpha)+\left(\frac{7\sqrt{2} }{10}\right)^2=1 \Longrightarrow \sin^2(\alpha) +\frac{49}{50}=1 \Longrightarrow \sin(\alpha)=\sqrt{1-\frac{49}{50}} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{10}$[/tex]

The sum Identity is:

[tex]\sin(\alpha + \beta)=\sin(\alpha)\cos(\beta)+\sin(\beta)\cos(\alpha)[/tex]

I will just follow what the question asks.

[tex]\text{Find the value of }\alpha+2\beta[/tex]

[tex]\sin(\alpha + 2\beta)=\sin(\alpha)\cos(2\beta)+\sin(2\beta)\cos(\alpha)[/tex]

[tex]\text{I will first calculate }\cos(2\beta)[/tex]

[tex]$\cos(2\beta)=\frac{1-\tan^2(\beta)}{1+\tan^2(\beta)} =\frac{1-(\frac{1}{7})^2 }{1+(\frac{1}{7})^2}=\frac{24}{25}$[/tex]

[tex]\text{Now }\sin(2\beta)[/tex]

[tex]$\sin(2\beta)=2\sin(\beta)\cos(\beta)=2 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{10} }{10}\cdot \frac{3\sqrt{10} }{10} = \frac{3}{5} $[/tex]

Now we can perform the sum identity:

[tex]\sin(\alpha + 2\beta)=\sin(\alpha)\cos(2\beta)+\sin(2\beta)\cos(\alpha)[/tex]

[tex]$\sin(\alpha + 2\beta)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{10}\cdot \frac{24}{25} +\frac{3}{5} \cdot \frac{7\sqrt{2} }{10} = \frac{129\sqrt{2}}{250}$[/tex]

But we are not done yet! You want

[tex]\alpha + 2\beta[/tex] and not [tex]\sin(\alpha + 2\beta)[/tex]

You actually want the

With an experiment, researchers would break the participants into two groups: control group and treatment group. Those in the control group get the placebo (fake treatment) while the treatment group gets the treatment applied to them. If we were dealing with an experiment for this context, then the treatment group would get exposed to mumps on purpose. Of course, this is unethical and dangerous so an experiment for this type of project is not a good idea. It's better to go with an observational study.

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

List out the total number of outcomes = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12}

We have 12 items in this list.

From this list, highlight the outcomes that are less than 9. So we will have this smaller list of {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8} which has 8 items in it.

There are 8 ways to get what we want (a number less than 9) out of 12 outcomes total

The probability is therefore 8/12 = 2/3

Answer:

0.73

Step-by-step explanation:

Data obtained from the question include the following:

Length (L) of square = x

Base (b) of triangle = (3x – 2)

Height (h) of triangle = (2x + 4)

Area of square = L²

Area of square = x²

Area of triangle = ½bh

Area of triangle = ½(3x – 2) (2x + 4)

Expand

½ [3x(2x + 4) –2(2x + 4)]

½[6x² + 12x – 4x – 8]

½[6x² + 8x – 8]

3x² + 4x – 4

Area of triangle = 3x² + 4x – 4

Now, to find the value of x which makes the area of the two figures the same, we simply equate both areas as shown below:

Area of triangle = area of square

Area of triangle = 3x² + 4x – 4

Area of square = x²

Area of triangle = area of square

3x² + 4x – 4 = x²

Rearrange

3x² – x² + 4x – 4 = 0

2x² + 4x – 4 = 0

Solving by formula method

a = 2, b = 4, c = –4

x = – b ± √(b² – 4ac) / 2a

x = – 4 ± √(4² – 4×2×–4) / 2×2

x = – 4 ± √(16 + 32) / 4

x = – 4 ± √(48) / 4

x = (– 4 ± 6.93)4

x = (– 4 + 6.93)4 or (– 4 – 6.93)4

x = 0.73 or –2.73

Since the measurement can not be negative, the value of x is 0.73.

A is the correct answer

Answer:

The salary of the governor of state A is $171,575 and the salary of the governor of state B is $117,830.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the governor of state A's salary is "x" and the governor of state B's salary is "y", then:

[tex]x = y + 53,745[/tex]

If the total of their salaries is $289,405, then the sum of x and y should be equal to that number.

[tex]x + y = 289,405\\[/tex]

Applying the first expression on the second allows us to solve for y as shown below.

[tex]y + 53745 + y = 289405\\2y = 289405 - 53745\\2y = 235660\\y = 117830[/tex]

Using this data on the first expression allows us to solve for the first governo's salary.

[tex]x = 117830 + 53745 = 171575[/tex]

The salary of the governor of state A is $171,575 and the salary of the governor of state B is $117,830.

To solve this system of equations by addition, our first goal is to cancel

out one of the variables by adding the two equations together.

However, if we add these two equations together right away, nothing

will cancel so we need to set things up so a variable will cancel.

Notice that we have an 2x in our second equation.

If we had a -2x in our first equation, then the x's would cancel out.

In order to create a -2x in the first equation, we simply

multiply both sides of the first equation by -2.

So we have (-2)(x - 2y) = (-4)(-2) which can be rewritten as -2x + 4y = 8.

Now rewrite both equations, as shown below.

Now when we add the equations together, the x terms

will cancel out and we're left with 5y = 15.

Dividing both sides by 5, y = 3.

To solve for x, plug a 3 in for y in either one of our 2 original equations.

So let's go with our second equation.

Plugging a 3 in for y, we get 2x + (3) = 7.

Now subtract 4 from both sides to get 2x = 4.

Dividing both sides by 2, we fid that x = 2.

Since x = 2 and y = 3, our answer is the ordered pair (2, 3).
