Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution 1:

There are 5 even digits: 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8, and 5\cdot 4\cdot 3=60 ways to arrange any three of them in order: 5 ways to pick the first digit, 4 ways to pick the second digit, and 3 ways to pick the third.

Another way to think about this is there are 5\choose 3 ways to pick any three of the digits, and 3! ways to rearrange them, so there are {5\choose 3 }\cdot 3!=60 ways to pick and arrange 3 of the digits.

Then, we have to subtract cases where 0 is the first digit, because that would give us numbers such as 028 or 042 which are not three-digit natural numbers.

When 0 is the first digit, there are 4 possibilities for the second digit and 3 possibilities for the third digit, so there are 4\cdot3=12 ways for 0 to be the first digit.

These are the cases we don't want, so we subtract them from the total cases we can arrange any three of the digits. This gives us

60-12=\boxed{48}

total ways.

Solution 2:

We split the possible arrangements into two different cases: when we use the digits without 0 and when we do use the digit 0.

Case 1: we use 0:

We first pick the three numbers we use: one of them has to be 0, so there are {4\choose 2}=6 ways to pick the other two numbers.

Then, since 0 cannot be the first digit, there are 2 ways to pick the first digit. We used a digit for the first number, so there are 2 more numbers we can choose from, including 0, for the second digit. There is only one possibility for the last digit, so we have 2\cdot2\cdot1=4 ways to pick the order.

So, multiplying this by the number of ways there are to pick the numbers, there are 6\cdot4=24 ways for this case.

Case 2: we don't use 0:

If we don't use 0, there are 4 digits we can choose from: 2, 4, 6, and 8. There are 4 ways to choose the first digit, 3 ways to chose the second digit, and 2 ways for the third.

So, we have 4\cdot3\cdot2=24 ways for this case.

Combining the cases, there are 24+24=\boxed{48} total possible ways to form a three-digit natural number using only the even digits.

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

x decreases w/o bound, so x becomes a very large -ve no.

f(x)=5^(x-1) becomes 5^(large -ve no.) which will be almost zero


x increases w/o bound, so x becomes a very large +ve no.

f(x)=5^(x-1) becomes 5^(large +ve no.) which will keep increasing w/o bound


if u provide wat the choices are from ur Q in comments, i will pick the right one 4 u

A. Let s be the smallest integer
B. We must add 2 to get the next greater integer
C. Second integer is s+2
D. s+(s+2)=118
2•s+2=118
2s+2-2=118-2
2s=116
2s/2=116/2
s=58
If the smallest even integer is 58 the consecutive integer is 58+2=60
Verify
58+60=118 ✔️
