How many ways can six friends be arranged around a circular dinner table?

1 answer:

6 0

A question such as this one is a little tricky since the people seated are not in a straight line.

For a circular table seating question, (n-1)! formula is used. Without restrictions 5! people can be seated.

You might be wondering why it is not 6!, this is because the first person will the the 6 person so you are accounting for the same person twice.

Hope I helped :)

An airliner maintaining a constant elevation of 2 miles passes over an airport at noon traveling 500 mi/hr due west. At 1:00 PM,

Answer:

$\frac{ds}{dt}\approx 743.303\,\frac{mi}{h}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let suppose that airliners travel at constant speed. The equations for travelled distance of each airplane with respect to origin are respectively:

First airplane

$r_{A} = 500\,\frac{mi}{h}\cdot t\\r_{B} = 550\,\frac{mi}{h}\cdot t$

Where t is the time measured in hours.

Since north and west are perpendicular to each other, the staight distance between airliners can modelled by means of the Pythagorean Theorem:

$s=\sqrt{r_{A}^{2}+r_{B}^{2}}$

Rate of change of such distance can be found by the deriving the expression in terms of time:

$\frac{ds}{dt}=\frac{r_{A}\cdot \frac{dr_{A}}{dt}+r_{B}\cdot \frac{dr_{B}}{dt}}{\sqrt{r_{A}^{2}+r_{B}^{2}} }$

Where $\frac{dr_{A}}{dt} = 500\,\frac{mi}{h}$ and $\frac{dr_{B}}{dt} = 550\,\frac{mi}{h}$ , respectively. Distances of each airliner at 2:30 PM are:

$r_{A}= (500\,\frac{mi}{h})\cdot (1.5\,h)\\r_{A} = 750\,mi$

$r_{B}=(550\,\frac{mi}{h} )\cdot (1.5\,h)\\r_{B} = 825\,mi$

The rate of change is:

$\frac{ds}{dt}=\frac{(750\,mi)\cdot (500\,\frac{mi}{h} )+(825\,mi)\cdot(550\,\frac{mi}{h})}{\sqrt{(750\,mi)^{2}+(825\,mi)^{2}} }$

$\frac{ds}{dt}\approx 743.303\,\frac{mi}{h}$

What is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to this line and goes through the

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

x + 3y + 9 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

y=3x + 2

Coefficient of x = 3

Gradient (m) of line y= 3x + 2 is 3

Since the line passing through point

(3,-4) is perpendicular to line y=3x + 2

hence gradient (m) of the line is -1/3;

And hence it equation is given as;

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-4) = -1/3(x - 3)

multiplying through by 3;

3 × y + 3 × 4 = 3 × -1/3(x - 3)

3y + 12 = -1(x - 3)

3y + 12 = -x + 3

x + 3y + 12 - 3 = 0

x + 3y + 9 = 0

Ahat [919]

So 6+3 is 9 right? So let's just say it's 9:37 with a 45 min ride. 60 minutes are in a hour. 60 - 37 = 23. We have 23 minutes left until 10:00. 45- 23 = 22. Therefore it'd be 10:22 p.m.
