Eight swimmers participate in a race in how many ways can the swimmers finish in first second and third place an it be answered using combinations or permutations

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

336

Step-by-step explanation:

To define whether we use permutations or combinations we must define whether or not the order in which we arrange the results matters. If the order matters we use permutations and if the order doesn't matter we use combinations.

In this case, since we are talking about the first places in a competition, order definitely does matter, so we use permutations. Also in permutations it must be indicated if repetition is allowed, in this case not because the same person cannot be in more than one place.

We use the following formula:

[tex]P=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}[/tex]

where in this case n is the numer of swimmers and r is the number of places we are considering (1st 2nd and 3rd), which is 3 places.

n = 8

and

r = 3

thus the number of permutations is given bt:

[tex]P=\frac{8!}{(8-3)!}\\ \\P=\frac{8!}{5!} \\\\P=\frac{8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1}{5*4*3*2*1}\\ \\P=8*7*6\\P=336[/tex]

the answer is that there are 336 ways in which the swimmers can finish in first second and third place

Answer:

x = 2, x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 11x + 18 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 18) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 11)

The factors are - 9 and - 2 , since

- 9 × - 2 = + 18 and - 9 - 2 = - 11 , thus

(x - 9)(x - 2) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2 ← lesser value

x - 9 = 0 ⇒ x = 9 ← greater value

Krutika and Natasha are marking exam papers. Each set takes Krutika 72 minutes and Natasha 1 hour. Express the times Krutika and Natasha take as a ratio. Give your answer in its simplest form.

Answers

Answer:

6 : 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Each set takes Krutika 72 minutes.

Each set takes Natasha 1 hour.

Let us convert that to minutes:

1 hour = 60 minutes

Therefore, expressing the times it takes Krutika and Natasha as a ratio:

72 : 60

Divide by 6

12 : 10

Divide by 2

f = 6, g = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of Δ ADE = 60 - 48 = 12 cm²

Thus

[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] AD × 4 = 12, that is

2AD = 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )

AD = 6 = f

The area of ABCD = 48 cm² , thus

fg = 48 , that is

6g = 48 ( divide both sides by 6 )

g = 8

Thus f = 6 and  g = 8

Dr. Karuza would like to send some classes on a trip to Disneyland. She explains that in order for any classses to go, 25% of the passengers must be teachers. Aniyah explains that if 4 teachers chose 24 students from 1 class to go then the teachers will be 25% of the passengers.
Do you agree or disagree with her answer?

Answers

Answer:

No, if 4 teachers chose 24 students from 1 class to go then the teachers will not be 25% of the passengers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: If 4 teachers chose 24 students from 1 class to go then the teachers will be 25% of the passengers.

To find: if the given statement is correct or not

Solution:

Total number of teachers = 4

Total number of students = 24

Total number of passengers = Total number of teachers + Total number of students = 4 + 24 = 28

Here,

25% of Total number of passengers = [tex]\frac{25}{100}(28)=7\neq 4[/tex]

So, if 4 teachers chose 24 students from 1 class to go then the teachers will not be 25% of the passengers.

Rewrite x2 − 8x + 13 = 0 in the form (x − a)2 = b, where a and b are integers, to determine the a and b values. a = 4 and b = 3 a = 3 and b = 2 a = 2 and b = 1 a = 1 and b = 4

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The completing the square method is important when transforming a quadratic equation to [tex](x - a)^2 =b[/tex] form. The values of a and b are 4 and 3

Given:

[tex]x^2 - 8x + 13 = 0[/tex]

Subtract 13 from both sides

[tex]x^2 - 8x + 13 -13= 0-13[/tex]

[tex]x^2 - 8x= -13[/tex]

-------------------------------------------------------------

Next, we perform the following operations

Take the coefficient (k) of x

[tex]k = -8[/tex]

Divide k by 2

[tex]k/2 = -8/2[/tex]

[tex]k/2 = -4[/tex]

Square both sides

[tex](k/2)^2 = (-4)^2[/tex]

[tex](k/2)^2 = 16[/tex]

Back to the equation, we add 16 to both sides

-------------------------------------------------------------

[tex]x^2 - 8x= -13[/tex]

[tex]x^2 - 8x + 16 = -13 +16[/tex]

[tex]x^2 - 8x + 16 =3[/tex]

Expand the left-hand side

[tex]x^2 - 4x -4x+ 16 =3[/tex]

Factorize

[tex]x(x - 4) -4(x- 4) =3[/tex]

Factor out x -4

[tex](x - 4) (x- 4) =3[/tex]

Express as squares

[tex](x - 4)^2 =3[/tex]

Given that:

[tex](x - a)^2 =b[/tex]

By comparison:

[tex]a =4;\ b =3[/tex]

The values of a and b are 4 and 3, respectively.

h(t) = -20 + 11t; h(11)

Answers

Answer:

h(11) = -20 + 11 * 11 = 101

Answer:

h(11)=101

Step-by-step explanation:

This question asks us to find h(11).

Essentially, we need to find h(t) or y, when t, or x, is equal to 11.

h(t)=-20+11t

Therefore, we can substitute 11 in for every t.

h(11)= -20+11(11)

Solve according to PEMDAS( Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction)

Multiply 11 and 11 first.

h(11)= -20 +121

Add 121 and -20

h(11)=101

The first three towers in a sequence are shown. The nth tower is formed by stacking n blocks on top of an n times n square of blocks. How many blocks are in the 99th tower?

Answers

Answer:

The 99th tower contains 9900 blocks.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given, we were told that the nth tower is formed by stacking n blocks on top of an n times n square of blocks. This implies that the number of blocks in n tower will be:

n + n²

Now let us use the diagram to validate the idea.

Tower 1:

n = 1

Number of blocks = 1 + 1² = 2

Tower 2:

Number of blocks = 2 + 2² = 6

Tower 3:

Number of blocks = 3 + 3² = 12

Using same idea, we can obtain the number of blocks in the 99th tower as follow:

Tower 99:

n = 99

Number of blocks = 99 + 99² = 9900

Therefore, the 99th tower contains 9900 blocks.

Find the volume of the rectangular prism. Express your answer as a simplified mixed number.

Answers

Answer:

414 9/16 m³

[tex]414\frac{9}{16}m^{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a Rectangular prism is calculated as Length × Width × Height

From the attached diagram,we can see that

The length = 8 3/8 m

The width = 6 m

The height =8 1/4 m

Converting the mixed fraction to improper fraction in other to simplify it better

The length = 67/8 m

The height = 33/4 m

The volume of the rectangular prism =

67/8 m × 6m × 33/4m

= (13266/32)m³

= 6633/16 m³

= 414 9/16 m³

= [tex]414\frac{9}{16}m^{3}[/tex]

Answers

These are complementary angles.

If two angles are complementary, then

the sum of their measures is 90°.

Since we know that one of the angles measures 35°, we can find the measure of the other by taking 90 minus the measure of the original angle which in this case is 90 - 35.

So we have 90° - 35° which is 55°

So the measure of the other angle is 55°

Para hacerlo, el numerador es el número original sin el punto decimal y para definir el denominador debes determinar cuántos digitos decimales tienes. En este caso, el número tiene un dígito decimal, por lo cual el denominador es 10. De acuerdo a esto:

0.5 se escribiría como [tex]\frac{5}{10}[/tex] y esta fracción se puede simplificar porque los dos números son divisibles entre 5:
