Decide if the situation involves permutations, combinations, or neither. Explain your reasoning. The number of ways a four dash member committee can be chosen from 13 people. Does the situation involve permutations, combinations, or neither?

Choose the correct answer below.

a. Combination. The order of the committee members does not matter.

b. Permutation. The order of the committee members matters.

c. Neither A line of people is neither an ordered arrangement of objects, nor a selection of objects from a group of objects.

a. Combination. The order of the committee members does not matter.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we were only asked to look for a way to select four people from a 13 members committee the order for which it is selected wasn’t stated this makes it a perfect combination problem. Because permutations always have to do with order.

use the power rule  

( a b ) n = a n b n

to distribute the exponent.

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 y 3 . ( 3 x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 . 3 2 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

raise  

3

to the power of  

2 . 9 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2 multiply the exponents in   ( x 2 ) 2

.

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 2 ⋅ 2 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply  

2   by   2 . 9 x 4 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply the exponents in  

( y 3 ) 2 .

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 4 y 3

⋅

2

multiply  

3   by   2 . 9 x 4 y 6

lol.

it's ok we all do this sometimes.
