<u><em></em></u>
- <u><em>Event A: 1/35</em></u>
- <u><em>Event B: 1/840</em></u>
<u><em></em></u>
Explanation:
<u>Event A</u>
For the event A, the order of the first 4 acts does not matter.
The number of different four acts taken from a set of seven acts, when the order does not matter, is calculated using the concept of combinations.
Thus, the number of ways that the first <em>four acts</em> can be scheduled is:


And<em> the number of ways that four acts is the singer, the juggler, the guitarist, and the violinist, in any order</em>, is 1: C(4,4).
Therefore the<em> probability of Event A</em> is:

Event B
Now the order matters. The difference between combinations and permutations is ordering. When the order matters you need to use permutations.
The number of ways in which <em>four acts </em>can be scheculed when the order matters is:


The number of ways <em>the comedian is first, the guitarist is second, the dancer is third, and the juggler is fourth</em> is 1: P(4,4)
Therefore, <em>the probability of Event B</em> is:

Answer:
32 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Let the total distance be x miles
Marks speed= 16miles per hour
Trisha's speed= 12 miles per hour
Trisha has covered 8 miles and has (x-8) miles to finish line
We know that
Speed= distance/time
time= distance/speed
Hence the time taken for Mark to finish is
time= x/16---------------1
The time taken for Trisha to finish is
time= (x-8)/12-----------2
equate 1 and 2 above
x/16= (x-8)/12
cross multiply
16(x-8)= 12*x
16x-128= 12x
collect like terms
16x-12x= 128
4x=128
x= 128/4
x= 32 miles
Hence they will meet at exactly 32 miles along the way
You can do substitution 2x-2=x^2 -x -6; isolate all terms on one side 0= x^2 -x-2x -6+2; combine like terms x^2 -3x -4=0; factor the quadratic (x-4)(x+1)=0; each term is zero x-4=0 so x=4 and x+1=0 so x=-1. Now, y=2•4-2=6 and y=2•(-1) -2= -4 ; solutions for the system are ( 4,6) and ( -1, -4)
