Using the permutation formula, it is found that the people can be chosen for the roles in 6840 ways.

The order in which the people are chosen is important, as there are different roles, hence the <em>permutation formula</em> is used.

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

The number of possible permutations of <u>x elements from a set of n elements</u> is given by:

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

In this problem, 3 people will be chosen from a set of 20 people, hence the number of ways is given by:

$P_{20,3} = \frac{20!}{17!} = 6840$

It’s fifteen. I started with 15 bc it’s the smallest number they’re both a factor of. And I didn’t think they’d make it too hard.

Find the vertices and foci of the hyperbola. 9x2 − y2 − 36x − 4y + 23 = 0

Xelga [282]

Hey there, hope I can help!

NOTE: Look at the image/images for useful tips
$\left(h+c,\:k\right),\:\left(h-c,\:k\right)$

$\frac{\left(x-h\right)^2}{a^2}-\frac{\left(y-k\right)^2}{b^2}=1\:\mathrm{\:is\:the\:standard\:equation\:for\:a\:right-left\:facing:H}$
with the center of (h, k), semi-axis a and semi-conjugate - axis b.
NOTE: H = hyperbola

$9x^2-y^2-36x-4y+23=0 \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Subtract\:}23\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}$
$9x^2-36x-4y-y^2=-23$

$\mathrm{Factor\:out\:coefficient\:of\:square\:terms}$
$9\left(x^2-4x\right)-\left(y^2+4y\right)=-23$

$\mathrm{Divide\:by\:coefficient\:of\:square\:terms:\:}9$
$\left(x^2-4x\right)-\frac{1}{9}\left(y^2+4y\right)=-\frac{23}{9}$

$\mathrm{Divide\:by\:coefficient\:of\:square\:terms:\:}1$
$\frac{1}{1}\left(x^2-4x\right)-\frac{1}{9}\left(y^2+4y\right)=-\frac{23}{9}$

$\mathrm{Convert}\:x\:\mathrm{to\:square\:form}$
$\frac{1}{1}\left(x^2-4x+4\right)-\frac{1}{9}\left(y^2+4y\right)=-\frac{23}{9}+\frac{1}{1}\left(4\right)$

$\mathrm{Convert\:to\:square\:form}$
$\frac{1}{1}\left(x-2\right)^2-\frac{1}{9}\left(y^2+4y\right)=-\frac{23}{9}+\frac{1}{1}\left(4\right)$

$\mathrm{Convert}\:y\:\mathrm{to\:square\:form}$
$\frac{1}{1}\left(x-2\right)^2-\frac{1}{9}\left(y^2+4y+4\right)=-\frac{23}{9}+\frac{1}{1}\left(4\right)-\frac{1}{9}\left(4\right)$

$\mathrm{Convert\:to\:square\:form}$
$\frac{1}{1}\left(x-2\right)^2-\frac{1}{9}\left(y+2\right)^2=-\frac{23}{9}+\frac{1}{1}\left(4\right)-\frac{1}{9}\left(4\right)$

$\mathrm{Refine\:}-\frac{23}{9}+\frac{1}{1}\left(4\right)-\frac{1}{9}\left(4\right) \ \textgreater \ \frac{1}{1}\left(x-2\right)^2-\frac{1}{9}\left(y+2\right)^2=1 \ \textgreater \ Refine$
$\frac{\left(x-2\right)^2}{1}-\frac{\left(y+2\right)^2}{9}=1$

Now rewrite in hyperbola standardform
$\frac{\left(x-2\right)^2}{1^2}-\frac{\left(y-\left(-2\right)\right)^2}{3^2}=1$

$\mathrm{Therefore\:Hyperbola\:properties\:are:}\left(h,\:k\right)=\left(2,\:-2\right),\:a=1,\:b=3$
$\left(2+c,\:-2\right),\:\left(2-c,\:-2\right)$

Now we must compute c
$\sqrt{1^2+3^2} \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:1^a=1 \ \textgreater \ 1^2 = 1 \ \textgreater \ \sqrt{1+3^2}$

$3^2 = 9 \ \textgreater \ \sqrt{1+9} \ \textgreater \ \sqrt{10}$

Therefore the hyperbola foci is at $\left(2+\sqrt{10},\:-2\right),\:\left(2-\sqrt{10},\:-2\right)$

For the vertices we have $\left(2+1,\:-2\right),\:\left(2-1,\:-2\right)$

Simply refine it
$\left(3,\:-2\right),\:\left(1,\:-2\right)$
Therefore the listed coordinates above are our vertices

Hope this helps!

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

√80 = √(2⁴ × 5) = √2⁴ × √5 = 4√5
