(a)  there are 8C2  = 28 ways of picking 2 girls from 8
And there are  21C4  =  5985 ways of picking 4 boys

Required number of ways for 2g / 4b  = 28 * 5985 =  167,580 

(b) at least 2 girls means  combinations of 2g/4b , 3g,3b , 4g/2b , 5g 1b or 
6 girls.

2g/4b  = 167,580 ways
3g/3b =  8C3 * 21C3 =  56 * 1330 = 74,480
4g/2b =  8C4* 21C2  =   70 * 210 = 14,700 
5g 1b = 8C5* 21 =  56*21 = 1176
6 girls  = 8C6 = 28

adding these up we get the answer to (b) which is  257,964

Ivan

Answer:

The answer is C. As you move closer to the center of the whirlpool, the speed of the current approaches infinity.

This means the closer you get, the faster you go, and the further the distance is the slower the speed. Hope this helps!

(Btw I got this right on the test)

Question 14. A carousel makes one complete revolution every 75 seconds. Levi sits on the carousel 4 feet from its center. If the
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

The correct option is;

H. 32·π

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

The time duration for one complete revolution = 75 seconds

The distance from the center of the carousel where Levi sits = 4 feet

The time length of a carousel ride = 5 minutes

Therefore, the number of complete revolutions, n, in a carousel ride of 5 minutes is given by n = (The time length of a carousel ride)/(The time duration for one complete revolution)

n = (5 minutes)/(75 seconds) = (5×60 seconds/minute)/(75 seconds)

n = (300 s)/(75 s) = 4  

The number of complete revolutions - 4

The distance of 4 complete turns from where Levi seats = 4 ×circumference of circle of Levi's motion

∴ The distance of 4 complete turns from where Levi seats = 4 × 2 × π × 4 = 32·π.

Which of the following are exterior angles? Check all that apply.
Helen [10]

An exterior angle of a triangle is an angle formed by one side of the triangle and the extension of an adjacent side of the triangle.

FACTS:

  • Every triangle has 6 exterior angles, two at each vertex.
  • Notice that the "outside" angles that are "vertical" to the angles inside the triangle are NOT called exterior angles of a triangle.

1. Angles 1, 5 and 6 are inteior angles of the given triangle.

2. Angle 3 is vertical to the interior angle 5.

3. Angles 2 and 4 are exterior angles of the triangle.

Answer: correct options are A and B.

A professor uses a video camera to record the motion of an object falling from a height of 250 meters. The function f(x) = –5x2
Romashka [77]

Answer:

The answer is approximately 5.09 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:

f(x) = -5x^2 + 250

To find the elapsed time, x, set the equation equal to 120 and solve for x:

-5x^2 + 250 = 120

-5x^2 = -130

x^2 = -130/-5 = 26

x = Sqrt(26) = 5.09 seconds.
