A) A club is considering changing its bylaws. In an initial straw vote on the issue, 24 of the 40 members of the club favored the change and 16 did not. A committee of six is to be chosen from the 40 club members to devote further study to the issue. a) How many committees of six can be formed from the club membership

38,38,380

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: A club is considering changing its laws. In an initial straw vote on the issue, of the members of the club favored the change and did not. A committee of six is to be chosen from the club members to devote further study to the issue.

TO FIND: How many committees of six can be formed from the club membership.

SOLUTION:

Total number of members

Total members to be chosen

To select committee of members from

Hence 38,38,380 different committee can be formed.

let's add {f(x)=x+1}f(x)=x+1 and {g(x)=2x}g(x)=2x together to make a new function.

f(x)+g(x) =(x+1)+(2x)=x+1+2x=3x+1

let's call this new function hh. so we have:

{h(x)}={f(x)}+{g(x)}{=3x+1}h(x)=f(x)+g(x)=3x+1

we can also evaluate combined functions for particular inputs. let's evaluate function hh above for x=2x=2. below are two ways of doing this.

method 1: substitute x=2x=2 into the combined function hh.

h(x)

h(2)

​    

=3x+1

=3(2)+1

=7

​ since h(x)=f(x)+g(x)h(x)=f(x)+g(x), we can also find h(2)h(2) by finding f(2) +g(2)f(2)+g(2).

first, let's find f(2)f(2):

f(x)

f(2)

​    

=x+1

=2+1

=3

​  

now, let's find g(2)g(2):

g(x)

g(2)

​    

=2x

=2⋅2

=4

​  

so f(2)+g(2)=3+4=\greend7f(2)+g(2)=3+4=7.

notice that substituting x =2x=2 directly into function hh and finding f(2) + g(2)f(2)+g(2) gave us the same answer!
