10 ways
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of ways in which five basketball players could be placed in three positions is:
5
= 
= 
= 
= 5 × 2
= 10
The basketball players can be arranged in 10 ways.
Answer:
the answer is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Is that 123 or 12 times 3
Answer:
16>2.3b
Step-by-step explanation:
1.5+0.8=2.3
Substitute b as 1. Which would still keep it as 2.3.
an = a1r^(n-1)
a5 = a1 r^(5-1)
-6 =a1 r^4
a2 = a1 r^(2-1)
-48 = a1 r
divide
-6 =a1 r^4
---------------- yields 1/8 = r^3 take the cube root or each side
-48 = a1 r 1/2 = r
an = a1r^(n-1)
an = a1 (1/2)^ (n-1)
-48 = a1 (1/2) ^1
divide by 1/2
-96 = a1
an = -96 (1/2)^ (n-1)
the sum
Sn = a1[(r^n - 1/(r - 1)]
S18 = -96 [( (1/2) ^17 -1/ (1/2 -1)]
=-96 [ (1/2) ^ 17 -1 /-1/2]
= 192 * [-131071/131072]
approximately -192
