Suppose ten students in a class are to be grouped into teams. (a) if each team has two students, how many ways are there to form teams? (the ordering of students within teams does not matter, and the ordering of the teams does not matter.) (b) if each team has either two or three students, how many ways are there to form teams?

(a) There are 113,400 ways

(b) There are 138,600 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of ways to from k groups of n1, n2, ... and nk elements from a group of n elements is calculated using the following equation:

Where n is equal to:

n=n1+n2+...+nk

If each team has two students, we can form 5 groups with 2 students each one. Then, k is equal to 5, n is equal to 10 and n1, n2, n3, n4 and n5 are equal to 2. So the number of ways to form teams are:

For part b, we can form 5 groups with 2 students or 2 groups with 2 students and 2 groups with 3 students. We already know that for the first case there are 113,400 ways to form group, so we need to calculate the number of ways for the second case as:

Replacing k by 4, n by 10, n1 and n2 by 2 and n3 and n4 by 3, we get:

So, If each team has either two or three students, The number of ways  form teams are:

113,400 + 25,200 = 138,600

there would be 365 different 4 digit numbers

step-by-step explanation:

i belive that it is 365 because i asked google

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
