Any one of the runners could be 1st.
Every runner except for the one that was 1st could be 2nd.
Every runner that wasn't 1st or 2nd could be 3rd.

100*99*98=970200 groups.
This involves permutations because order does matter.

Hope this helps!

A group of 8 people are picking up litter along a 4 over 5 km length of road. Each person is assigned an equal section of the ro
zepelin [54]

You know that 1 km=1000 m, then the length of the road \dfrac{4}{5} km is \dfrac{1000}{5} \cdot 4=200\cdot 4=800 metres.

A group of 8 people are picking up litter along the road and each person is assigned an equal section of the road. The whole road has length 800 m, then for each person will be assigned 800:8=100 m of the road.

If you want to know the length of each part in km, then 1 m=0.001 km and 100 m =1 m·100=0.001 km ·100=0.1 km.

Write the following as an algebraic expression. Then simplify.
Ratling [72]

The sum of three even consecutive integers if the first integer is y will be 3y + 6.

First integer = y

Second integer = y + 2

Third integer = y + 4

Therefore, based on the expressions given above, the sum of the three integers will be:

= y + y +2 + y + 4

= 3y + 6

Therefore, the sum will be 3y + 6.

Answer:

(x+1)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

(g ° f) (x) = g(f(x))

g ( f(x)) means that you are going to replace x in g(x) for f(x)

g(x) = x^2

f(x) = x+1

So you have to solve g(x) when x = x+1

g (x+1) = (x+1)^2

R is the first quadrant region enclosed by the x-axis and the curve y = 2x + b, and the line x = b, where b &gt; 0. Find the val
Elis [28]
The area of R is given by the integral

\displaystyle\int_0^b(2x+b)\,\mathrm dx=288

Integrating yields

(x^2+bx)\bigg|_{x=0}^{x=b}=(b^2+b^2)-(0+0)=2b^2

So you have

2b^2=288\implies b^2=144\impiles b=12
