<em>2.7 / 3 = 0.9.</em>
Is <em>0.9</em> greater than, or less than <em>1? </em>=)
Answer: 62
Step-by-step explanation:
You do 112-19-31 and then it equal = 62
Please: Use "^" to denote exponentiation: <span>2x^2 + 8x - 12 = 0
Reduce this by div. every term by 2: </span><span>x^2 + 4x - 6 = 0
Here a=1, b=4 and c = -6. Square half of b, obtaining (4/2)^2 = 4, and add, and then subtract, this 4 to x^2 + 4x - 6:
</span> x^2 + 4x +4 - 4 - 6 = 0. Rewrite the square as (x+2)^2, obtaining new equation
(x+2)^2 = 10. Take the sqrt of both sides: x+2 = plus or minus sqrt(10).
Finally, solve for x: x = -2 plus or minus sqrt(10).
now, we could expand them, but there's no need, since it's just factoring.
If b is in the first position then c can be in any 1 of the remaining 6 positions.
If we start with ab then the letter c can be in any one of 5 positions and if we have aab there are 4 possible positions for c and so on.
So the total number of possible sequences where b comes first = 6+5+4+3+2+1 = 21.
The same argument applies when c comes before b so that gives us 21 ways also.
So the answer is 2 *21 = 42 different sequences.
A more direct way of doing this is to use factorials:-
answer = 7! / 5! = 7 * 6 = 42.
( We divide by 5! because of the 5 a's.)
