A. The number of possible ways can this be done, if the order of the choices is not taken into consideration is 1, 287 ways

B. The number of possible ways can this be done, if the order of the choices is taken into consideration is 154,440 ways

<h3>What is meant by permutation and combination?</h3>

Combination and permutation are two alternative strategies in mathematics to divide up a collection of components into subsets. The subset's components can be listed in any order when combined. The components of the subset are listed in a permutation in a certain order.

A. We want to select 5 objects from a total 13, without considering the order in which they are chosen.

The correct way to do this exists by utilizing the combination formula since order exists not considered;

Therefore, we have ; 13 C 5 read as 13 combination 5;

Let the equation of combination be n C r = n!/(n-r)!r!

substituting the values in the above equation, we get

13!/(13-8)!8! = 13!/5!8! = 1,287 ways

B. By considering order, we shall be using the permutation formula;

Let the equation of permutation be n P r = n!/(n-r)!

substituting the values in the above equation, we get

13 P 5 = 13!/(13-5)!

= 13!/(13-5)! = 13!/8! = 154,440 ways

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Eight

590 = 1800 e^(-0.4t)     Divide by 1800

0.32778 = e^(-0.4t)       Put the value for e in the denominator.

0.32778 = 1 / e^(0.4t)   Notice the sign's gone. Multiply both sides by e^(0.4t)

0.32778 *e^(0.4t) = 1    Divide by 0.32778

e^(0.4t) = 3.0508          Take the natural log of both sides.

0.4t = 1.11542                 Divide both sides by 0.4

t = 2.78855

You should put this in the original equation to see if it checks. It does.

=============================

Nine

3^(3 - 3x) + 6 = 42         Subtract 6 from both sides

3^(3 - 3x) = 36               Take the log of both sides.

(3 - 3x) ln(3) = ln 36

(3 - 3x) *1.098612 = 3.58352   Divide by 1.098612

3 - 3x = 3.26186             Subtract 3 from both sides

- 3x = 0.26186                 Divide by - 3

x = - 0.087287

If JK answered / of the Math questions correctly, how many points did she get in a 50- item test?
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

JK got 30 answers correct on a 50 item test.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

Total items on test = T = 50

Fraction of total items that were answered correctly = 3/5

We simply have to multiply the total number of questions by the fraction of correct answers.

So,

The correct answered number of items are:

= \frac{3}{5} * 50\\=30

Hence,

JK got 30 answers correct on a 50 item test.
