How many ways can we award a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place prize among eight contestants?

56 ways

none of these

40320 ways


336 ways

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Total number of ways are 336.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is required to find the number of ways in which we can award a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place prize among eight contestants. It means we need to find the number of permutations. We need to find [tex]^8P_3[/tex].

Here, r = 3

So,

[tex]^nP_r=\dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!}\\\\^8P_3=\dfrac{8!}{(8-3)!}\\\\^8P_3=\dfrac{8!}{5!}\\\\^8P_3=\dfrac{8\times 7\times 6\times 5!}{5!}\\\\^8P_3=336[/tex]

So, there are 336 ways.

The question says “write with prime number base” and the question is 8 square root 32 (7,d)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]2^{\frac{11}{2}}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write the given expression with prime number base.

In question 7, part d.

The given expression is

[tex]8\sqrt{32}[/tex]

It can be rewritten as

[tex]2^3\sqrt{2^5}[/tex]

Using properties of exponents , we get

[tex]2^3(2^5)^{\frac{1}{2}}[/tex]

[tex]2^3(2^{\frac{5}{2}})[/tex]    [tex][\because \sqrt[n]{x}=x^{\frac{1]{n}}][/tex]

[tex]2^{3+\frac{5}{2}}[/tex]    [tex][\because (a^m)^n=a^{mn}][/tex]

[tex]2^{\frac{6+5}{2}}[/tex]    [tex][\because a^ma^n=a^{m+n}][/tex]

[tex]2^{\frac{11}{2}}[/tex]

Here, base is 2 and it is prime number.

Therefore, the required expression is [tex]2^{\frac{11}{2}}[/tex].

The line perpendicular to the line y = –8 is .

The equation of the line perpendicular to the line y = –8 through the point (–4, –2) is .

Answers

Answer:

x = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

y = - 8 is the equation of a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis.

A perpendicular line must then be a vertical line parallel to the y- axis.

The equation of a vertical line is x = c

where c is the value of the x- coordinates it passes through.

The line passes through (- 4, - 2) with x- coordinate - 4, thus

x = - 4 ← equation of perpendicular line

B √ 9*5 is true but not simplified.

We need to find a square numbers that divide into 45

We find 9

And show a * b = c

c= 45

so a * b = 9 * 5  = 3√ 5 is how we arrange this to simplify.

What is the completely factored form of 3x^5-7x^4+6x^2-14x?

Answers

Answer:

x(x - 7)(x^3 + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that x is a common factor here:

3x^5-7x^4+6x^2-14x  =  x(3x^4 - 7x^3 + 6x - 14), or:

x(3x^4 - 7x^3 + 6x - 14)     Note that 6x - 14 can be rewritten as 2[x - 7]

                                          and that 3x^4 - 7x^3 can be rewritten as x^3[x - 7]

Therefore, x(3x^4 - 7x^3 + 6x - 14 becomes:

x(x - 7)(x^3 + 2)

Skis at a sports store near Snow Summit are on sale for $475. If the original price was $500,what discount rate(percent change) does this represent?

Answers

Answer: 5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi to answer this question, first we have to calculate the discount amount:

Original price - sale price

500-475 =25

Now, the original price (500) multiplied by the percent discount in decimal form (x) must be equal to the discount amount (25)

500x =25

Solving for x

x =25/500 =0.05

Multiply it by 100 to express in percentage form.

0.05 x 100 = 5%
