Step-by-step explanation:

After solving, total 360 different executive boards can there be.

In the specified office have one member of the executive board is the president, another is the vice president, a third is the secretary, and the last one the treasurer.

So there are total 6 members.

The total number of members in executive board = 4

So, the ways of selecting different executive boards = [tex]^{6}P_{4}[/tex]

The ways of selecting different executive boards = [tex]\frac{6!}{(6-4)!}[/tex]

The ways of selecting different executive boards = [tex]\frac{6!}{2!}[/tex]

The ways of selecting different executive boards = [tex]\frac{6\times5\times4\times3\times2!}{2!}[/tex]

The ways of selecting different executive boards = 6 × 5 × 4 × 3

The ways of selecting different executive boards = 360

Answer:
16.01 gallons of fuel.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we already know that there were initially 1.9 gallons. We have to add 14.11 gallons of fuel to the starting amount.

14.11 + 1.9 = 16.01 gallons

I hope this was able to help you :D

To find out how much fuel is in Leila's car now, we need to add the amount of fuel she just put in to the amount that was already in the car.

Leila put 14.11 gallons of fuel in the car and there were 1.9 gallons in the car to begin with.

So, 14.11 gallons + 1.9 gallons = 16.01 gallons

This is the correct answer because 14.11 gallons is the fuel Leila put into her car and 1.9 gallons is the fuel that was already in the car. Adding these two values together gives the total amount of fuel in the car now, which is 16.01 gallons.

The line that is parallel to y = 1/5x + 4, is A. 5 y - x = 6.

Parallel lines are any two or more lines that all lie in the same plane and never cross one another. They are equally spaced apart and have the same incline. No matter how far we extend a parallel line, it will never meet another parallel line.

As mentioned parallel lines will have the same slope so the line that is parallel to y = 1/5x + 4 would have the same slope of 1 / 5.

Converting the first option to slope intercept form gives:

5 y - x = 6

5 y = 6 + x

y = 6 / 5 + x / 5

y = 1.2 + 1 / 5 x

This slope is the same as y = 1/5x + 4 so they are parallel.

The expression is equivalent to 2, and option C is correct.

To simplify simply means to make anything easier. In mathematics, simplifying an equation, fraction, or problem means taking it and making it simpler. Calculations and problem-solving techniques simplify the issue. By eliminating all common factors from the numerator and denominator and putting the fraction in its simplest/lowest form, we can simplify fractions.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution of the system of linear equations is :-

x = 6 hours .

y = 330 miles.

Now, According to the question:

Let x be the number of hours that have elapsed since Zac started traveling .

Let y be the number of miles traveled .

We know that,

Speed = Distance / Time.

so,

Speed of Zac = D / T = 123.75 / 2.25 = 55 miles / hour.

Speed of Lynn = D / T = 105 / 1.75 = 60 miles / hour.

then, Distance travelled by Zac in x hours = S * T

y = 55 × x

y = 55x miles

and, Distance travelled by Lynn in (x - 0.5) hours = S * T

y = 60 × (x - 0.5)

y = 60x - 30

Therefore, a system of linear equations that represents the distance each of them has traveled since Zac left on his trip are :-

y = 55x ----------- Eqn.(1)

y = 60x - 30 ------------- Eqn.(2)

Now, putting value of Eqn.(1) in Eqn.(2) , we get,

55x = 60x - 30

60x - 55x = 30

5x = 30

x = 6 hours.

Putting value of x in Eqn.(1),

y = 55 * 6

y = 330 miles.

Hence, the solution of the system of linear equations is :-

x = 6 hours .

y = 330 miles.

Answer: The length of a side of a regular pentagon can be found using the formula, side = 2r * sin(π/5), where r is the radius of the circle that the pentagon is inscribed in. Using this formula, the length of a side of the pentagon is approximately 4.08 cm or 40.8 mm (rounded to the nearest mm).

The length of the line segment is given by the distance equation

D = 7.2 units

The distance of a line between 2 points is always positive and given by the formula

Let the first point be A ( x₁ , y₁ ) and the second point be B ( x₂ , y₂ )

The distance between A and B is D , and the distance D is

Distance D = √ ( x₂ - x₁ )² + ( y₂ - y₁ )²

Given data ,

Let the distance of the line segment between two points be D

Now , the equation will be

Let the first point be represented as P ( 1 , 6 )

Let the second point be represented as Q ( 7 , 2 )

Now , distance between P and Q is D , and the distance D is

Distance D = √ ( x₂ - x₁ )² + ( y₂ - y₁ )²

D = √ ( 1 - 7 )² + ( 6 - 2 )²

On simplifying the equation , we get

D = √ ( -6 )² + ( 4 )²

The probability of the car encountering it's first red light on the third day, i.e., P(Y = 3) will be 0.1479

According to the question,

we have to calculate the probability of the car encountering it's first red light on the third day, i.e., P(Y = 3)

Here,

Probability of encountering a Red light = 0.35, since traffic light at the intersection is red 35% of the time.

And Y is the number of days that pass up to and including the first time the car encounters a red light, i.e.,

The distribution here is a geometric one, where

P(Y = 3)

= P(Not red light in initial 2 lights) x P(red light in third light)

= [(1 - 0.35)² X 0.35]

= 0.1479

so, the probability of the car encountering it's first red light on the third day, i.e., P(Y = 3) will be 0.1479.

The equation of the parabola with a vertex (2,3) and contains the point (0,0) is:  y = -3/4(x - 2)² + 3

Parabolic equitation or Quadratic equation with a vertex (2,3) and contains the point (0,0)  is written using the vertex form of the equation which is:

(x - h)² =  4P (y - k)

OR

standard vertex form, y = a(x - h)² + k     where a = 1/4p

The vertex

v (h, k) = (2, 3)

h = 2

k = 3

substitution of the values into the equation gives

y = a(x - 2)² + 3

A line that is perpendicular to the line y = -1/3x + 7 has a slope that is the negative reciprocal of -1/3 which is 3.

We know that the line intersects the point (4,2), so we can use this point and the slope to write the equation of the line in point-slope form:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where (x1, y1) is the point the line passes through, m is the slope, and y and x are the coordinates of any point on the line.

So the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y = −1/3x + 7 and intersects the point (4,2) is:

y - 2 = 3(x - 4)

Simplifying this, we get

y = 3x - 2

To convert this to the slope-intercept form we can rewrite it as

y = 3x + b

Therefore, the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y = −1/3x + 7 and intersects the point (4,2) is y = 3x - 2

In the given quadrilateral we can see that 2 of its sides are equal and the diagonal of the quadrilateral divides the quadrilateral into 2 triangles.

we can label the diagonal as "b" and the equal sides as "a".

(2x-4)² = a² + b² - 2abcos45°

=(2x-4)² = a² + b² - 2ab×1/√2

=(2x-4)² = a² + b² - √2ab

Similarly, applying the cosine law on the lower triangle,

10² = a² + b² - 2abcos60°

= 10² = a² + b² - 2ab×1/2

The area of the irregular figure is 65.12 cm².

We know that a shape is said to be irregular if the shape does not fit into any of the known patterns of shape that we have. In this case, we have a kind of shape that is made up of the rectangle and the semi circle.

We know that we can be able to obtain that area of the rectangle by the use of the formula;

A = l * w

A = area

l = length

w = width

We then have;

A = 8 cm * 5 cm

= 40 cm^2

For the semi circle;

A =  (π r²)/2

A = (3.14 (4²))/2 = (3.14*16)/2 = 50.24/2 = 25.12cm²
