Find the principal needed now to get the given amount; that is, find the present value.

HELP PLEASE!!! I need help with 94 if you could show the steps that would be very helpful!

A combination is an unordered arrangement of r distinct objects in a set of n objects. To find the number of permutations, we use the following equation:

n!/((n-r)!r!)

In this case, there could be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or all 5 cards discarded. There is only one possible combination each for 0 or 5 cards being discarded (either none of them or all of them). We will be the above equation to find the number of combination s for 1, 2, 3, and 4 discarded cards.

5!/((5-1)!1!) = 5!/(4!*1!) = (5*4*3*2*1)/(4*3*2*1*1) = 5

5!/((5-2)!2!) = 5!/(3!2!) = (5*4*3*2*1)/(3*2*1*2*1) = 10

5!/((5-3)!3!) = 5!/(2!3!) = (5*4*3*2*1)/(2*1*3*2*1) = 10

5!/((5-4)!4!) = 5!/(1!4!) = (5*4*3*2*1)/(1*4*3*2*1) = 5

Notice that discarding 1 or discarding 4 have the same number of combinations, as do discarding 2 or 3. This is being they are inverses of each other. That is, if we discard 2 cards there will be 3 left, or if we discard 3 there will be 2 left.

Now we add together the combinations

1 + 5 + 10 + 10 + 5 + 1 = 32 choices combinations to discard.

The answer is 32.

-------------------------------

Note: There is also an equation for permutations which is:

n!/(n-r)!

Notice it is very similar to combinations. The only difference is that a permutation is an ORDERED arrangement while a combination is UNORDERED.

We used combinations rather than permutations because the order of the cards does not matter in this case. For example, we could discard the ace of spades followed by the jack of diamonds, or we could discard the jack or diamonds followed by the ace of spades. These two instances are the same combination of cards but a different permutation. We do not care about the order.

I hope this helps! If you have any questions, let me know :)

A boat is traveling at an average speed of 15 meters per second. How many kilometers per second is the boat traveling

damaskus [11]

$15 \frac{m}{s} \to 15\frac{10^{-3} km}{s} \to\boxed{0.015 \frac{km}{s}}$

Jason can travel 24 3/4 miles in one half hour what is his average speed in miles per hour

NikAS [45]

Average speed = 24 3/4 / 1 1/2 = 99/4 / 3/2 = 99/4 x 2/3 = 16 1/2 miles per hour.

Perform the following computations.You may use13≈0.333333,34= 0.75 and100301= 0.332226.(i). Compute13+34by using five significan

White raven [17]

Answer:

a. 1.0833

Absolute Error = 0.416667

Relative Error = 1.250002

b. 0.0011070

Absolute Error = 0.0011070

Relative Error = 0.003321

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

1/3 = 0.333333

3/4 = 0.75

100/301 = 0.332226

a.

1/3 + 3/4

= 0.333333 + 0.75

= 1.083333

= 1.0833 ------ Approximated to 5 significant digits

Absolute Error = |Real Value - Estimated Value|

Relative Error = Absolute Error/Real Value

Assume 1/3 to be the real value and 3/4 to be the estimated value

Absolute Error = |0.333333 - 0.75|

Absolute Error = |-0.416667|

Absolute Error = 0.416667

Relative Error = 0.416667/0.333333

Relative Error = 1.250002

b.

1/3 - 100/301

= 0.333333 - 0.332226

= 0.001107

= 0.0011070 ----- Approximated to 5 significant digits

Assume 1/3 to be real value and 100/301 to be estimated value

Absolute Error = 0.333333 - 0.332226

Absolute Error = 0.0011070

Relative Error = 0.0011070/0.333333

Relative Error = 0.003321

Absolute and relative errors are approximation errors and they are due to the discrepancy between an exact value and some approximation to them.

The absolute error is the magnitude of the difference between the exact value and the approximation. The relative error is the absolute error divided by the magnitude of the exact value

9 ten thousands / 10 in unit form

Phoenix [80]

First write nine ten thousands in standard form which is 90,000. Next divide 90,000 by 10 and you should get 9,000 by crossing out one zero in both numbers. To get 9,000 in unit form all you have to write is 9 thousands. And your answer is 9 thousands
