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.

What can you say about the end behavior of the function f(x)=-4^6+6x^2-52 ????
frosja888 [35]
Letter C is correct.
When the function is even, (all powers are even) both ends will go in the same direction.
In this case since the leading coefficient is negative, both ends will go down.

What is an equation of the line that is parallel to y=4x−10 and passes through (1, 13) ?
klasskru [66]
If a line is parallel to another line,Then the gradients are the same.So m=4 .Using general formula for str8 line, y=mx+c
y = 4x + c
sub in coorfinates (1,13)
13  = 4 + c
So C=9.
y = 4x + 9

The Royal Fruit Company produces two types of fruit drinks. The first type is 55% pure fruit juice, and the second type is 80% p
seropon [69]

We need 56 pints of the 55 % <em>pure fruit</em> juice and 84 pints of the 80 % <em>pure fruit</em> juice to prepare 140 pints of 70 % <em>pure fruit</em> juice.

<h3>How to use weighted averages to find the correct juice concentration</h3>

In this problem we have to use two kinds of juice with different concentrations. To get a certain concentration, we must adjust quantities of each kind and <em>weighted</em> averages offers a method that is easy to apply:

70 · 140 = 55 · x + 80 · (140 - x)

70 · 140 = 80 · 140 - 25 · x

25 · x = 10 · 140

x = 56

We need 56 pints of the 55 % <em>pure fruit</em> juice and 84 pints of the 80 % <em>pure fruit</em> juice to prepare 140 pints of 70 % <em>pure fruit</em> juice.
