There are two openings at a programming company and 40 people apply. How many different ways can those two positions be filled?

Answers

Answer 1

Using the combination formula, it is found that these two positions can be filled in 780 ways.

The order in which the positions are filled is not important, for example, João and Elisa is the same outcome as Elisa and João, 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 this problem, two people are taken from a set of 40, hence the number of ways is given by:

[tex]C_{40,2} = \frac{40!}{2!38!} = 780[/tex]

express the sum of 2x and y is multiplied by 5 in an algebraic expressions​

Answers

Answer:

(2x + y)*5

Step-by-step explanation:

Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;

(2x + y) * 5

Simplifying an expression simply means to collect like terms that are having the same variables or constants and combining them, so as to reduce the expression to the lowest possible value.

Simplifying further by opening the bracket, we have;

(2x + y)*5 = 10x + 5y

Find the circumference of the circle. Use 22/7 for pi.

Answers

Answer:

44

Step-by-step explanation:

circumference = 2πr = 2*(22/7)*(14/2) = 44

Answer:

C = 44 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter is 14.  

The formula for circumference is

C = pi * d  where d is the diameter

C = 22/7  * 14

C = 22 * 2

C = 44 cm

Nolan wants to buy carpet to cover his whole living room, except for the tiled floor. The tiled floor is 4 5\6 ft by 2 1\3 ft. Find the area the carpet needs to cover.

Answers

Answer:

11 5/18 ft squared

Step-by-step explanation:

because the floor is probably a rectangle, we can use the area formula to find the area of the carpet. the formula is

A = Length × Width

so now we plug in the numbers.

A = (4 5/6) × (2 1/3)

I'm going to simplify the numbers into an improper fraction because the numbers are in a mixed fraction format and I simply dislike it.

A = (29/6) × (7/3)

A = 203/18 ft squared

In the answer section, the numbers look different because I converted my 203/18 into a mixed number.

A = 203/18 = 11 5/18 ft squared

The length of rectangular playground exceeds twice its width by 15 feet, and the

Answers

Answer:

Width=85. Length=185. Area=15,725

Step-by-step explanation:

540/2=270, which is the sum of length+width.

270-15=255, so what's left is width+width+width.

255/3=85.

85*2=170

170+15=185

85*185=15,725

A dog runs 100 yards from one corner of a rectangular park to the opposite corner. If the length of the park is 28 yards, what is the width?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  96 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal through the park cuts the rectangle into two right triangles. The Pythagorean theorem tells you the relationship between the sides of a right triangle and its hypotenuse: the sum of the squares of the sides is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

The diagonal is the hypotenuse, so we have ...

  100² = 28² + w²

  w = √(10000 -784) = 96

The width of the park is 96 yards.

Additional comment

The integer side lengths of a right triangle form what is called a "Pythagorean triple." One of the most often seen of these is (3, 4, 5). Other commonly seen Pythagorean triples are (5, 12, 13), (7, 24, 25), (8, 15, 17).

You may notice that the numbers here are those of the (7, 24, 25) Pythagorean triple, multiplied by 4. If you recognize the given lengths as having the ratio 28:100 = 7:25, you have the clue you need to determine the answer simply from your knowledge of Pythagorean triples.

Use the figure to find the measures of the numbered angles.

Parallel lines a and b are intersected by a transversal t. Angle 1 and angle 99 degrees are supplementary angles. Angle 1 and angle 3 are vertical angles. Angle 2 and angle 99 degrees are vertical angles. Angle 99 degrees and angle 4 degrees are corresponding angles on the same side of the transversal. Angle 1 and angle 5 are corresponding angles on the other side of the transversal. Angle 5 and angle 7 are vertical angles. Angle 6 and angle 4 are vertical angles.

Answers

Answer:

  ∠1 = ∠3 = ∠5 = ∠7 = 81°

  ∠2 = ∠4 = ∠6 = 99°

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical and corresponding angles are congruent. Angles 1 and 99° are supplementary, so ...

  ∠1 = 180° -99° = 81°

Then we have ...

  ∠1 = ∠3 = ∠5 = ∠7 = 81°

  ∠2 = ∠4 = ∠6 = 99°

Answer: 2200

Step-by-step explanation:

First we will find the area of the triangle, the formula for that is bh/2

(base multiplied by height divided by 2) then we input the numbers into our formula, 30 is the height of the triangle and 40 is the length of the base. So we have to solve 40*30/2 which is 600, then we solve for the square on the bottom which is b*h ( base multiplied by height) so it is 40*40, so we would get 1600, then we add 600 and 1600 together and get 2200.

Additional comment

You can also make the correct choice by evaluating the equation at a couple of different values of x. Convenient ones are x= -1, or 0, or +1. The value at x=0 is the y-intercept, (0, -2), which seems to be a point on all of the graphs. The value at x=1 is 3/2+4-2 = 3.5, which looks like it is only seen on graph A.
