A signal can be sent from one location to another by running different colored flags up a flagpole, one above the other. There a

re 15 different colored flags to choose from but only 8 flags will be flown. Find the number of different signals consisting of 8, if the first flag must be blue.
If the first flag is blue then the number of different signals consisting of 8 flags is ??

Using the permutation formula, it is found that there are 17,297,280 different signals consisting of 8 flags.

In this problem, the order in which the flags are visited is important, hence the <em>permutation formula</em> is used to solve this question.

<h3>What is the permutation formula?</h3>

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by:

P_{(n,x)} = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!}

The first flag is blue, then the remaining 7 are taken from a set of 14, hence:

P_{(14,7)} = \frac{14!}{7!} = 17,297,280

There are 17,297,280 different signals consisting of 8 flags.

Which is true about the slope of a line?
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of all lines in quadrant 1 is positive. FALSE

The slope of a line does not depend on the quadrant.

The slope of <u>all lines</u> that pass through the origin is undefined.FALSE

The slope of some lines that pass trough the origin are undefined ( lines that are vertical have undefined slope)

The larger the slope, the longer the line.FALSE

The lines do not get longer or shorter because they go to infinity in both directions.

The larger the magnitude of the slope value, the steeper the line. TRUE

The larger the absolute value of the slope the steeper the slope.

Find an ordered pair that is solution for linear equation 4x-5y=20​
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

(5,0) is the solution of the given equation.

(0,-4) is the solution of the given equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given equation is: 4 x- 5y  = 20

Now, we need to find a value for (x,y) such that the above equation is satisfied.

The ONLY POSSIBLE way to do this is Hit and Trial.

Let us substitute x  = 0

Then the equation becomes : 4 (0) - 5y = 20

or, -5 y =  20 ⇒  y = -20/5 = - 4

So, for x = 0, y = - 4

So, (0,-4) will be the solution of the given equation.

Let us substitute y  = 0

Then the equation becomes : 4 (x) - 5(0) = 20

or, 4 x =  20 ⇒  x = 20/4 = 5

So, for x = 5, y = 0

So, (5,0) will be the solution of the given equation.

We can try another substitution as well.

For any value of x, we will get a corresponding value of y. So, (x,y) will be the solution of the given equation.

I need help with this question asap
guajiro [1.7K]
((2t+10) / 2) + ((3t-15) / 2) + (3s) = 180 
((2t+10) / 2) + ((3t-15) / 2) + (4r) = 180
((2t+10) / 2) + ((3t-15) / 2) + (3s) = ((2t+10) / 2) + ((3t-15) / 2) + (4r) 
(2t+10) = (3t-15)   t=25
2*25+10= 60  ,   3*25-15=60
60+60= 120 ,   This rectangle has a total of 360 degrees 
360 - 120 = 240
240/2 =120
120/ 4 = 30  ,  120/3 = 40
r=30    s=40
