Solution:

The permutation formula is expressed as

\begin{gathered} P^n_r=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!} \\  \end{gathered}

The combination formula is expressed as

\begin{gathered} C^n_r=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!} \\  \\  \end{gathered}

where

\begin{gathered} n\Rightarrow total\text{ number of objects} \\ r\Rightarrow number\text{ of object selected} \end{gathered}

Given that 6 objects are taken at a time from 8, this implies that

\begin{gathered} n=8 \\ r=6 \end{gathered}

Thus,

Number of permuations:

\begin{gathered} P^8_6=\frac{8!}{(8-6)!} \\ =\frac{8!}{2!}=\frac{8\times7\times6\times5\times4\times3\times2!}{2!} \\ 2!\text{ cancel out, thus we have} \\ \begin{equation*} 8\times7\times6\times5\times4\times3 \end{equation*} \\ \Rightarrow P_6^8=20160 \end{gathered}

Number of combinations:

\begin{gathered} C^8_6=\frac{8!}{(8-6)!6!} \\ =\frac{8!}{2!\times6!}=\frac{8\times7\times6!}{6!\times2\times1} \\ 6!\text{ cancel out, thus we have} \\ \frac{8\times7}{2} \\ \Rightarrow C_6^8=28 \end{gathered}

Hence, there are 28 combinations and 20160 permutations.

Solve. Write the solution in interval notation. -2x>-8 and -5x<20.
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

The interval notation of the solution is (-4 , 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Let us explain a very important point in solving inequality

- When you multiply or divide an inequality by negative number we

   must reverse the symbol of the inequality

- Ex:

∵ 2 < 3

- If we multiply the both sides of the inequality by -1, then the

  inequality will be -2 < -3 and this is completely wrong, so we must

  reverse the symbol of the inequality

∴ -2 > -3

* Now let us solve the problem

∵ -2x > -8

- Divide both sides by -2 and remember to reverse the symbol of the

  inequality

∴ x < 4

∵ -5x < 20

- Divide both sides by -5 and remember to reverse the symbol of the

  inequality

∴ x > -4

- From both solutions

∴ -4 < x < 4

∴ The solution is {x : -4 < x < 4}

- Interval notation is a way of writing the solutions of inequalities

 ( , ) if x does not equal the end numbers

 [ , ] if x equals the end numbers

 [ , ) , ( , ] if x equals one of the two end numbers

* The interval notation of the solution is (-4 , 4)

Spencer would be the correct one because it's easier to keep your variables positive when trying to solve. Therefore, in order to keep the variable positive, one would have to add 4x to both sides.
