The number of permutations of picking 4 pens from the box is 30.
There are six different unique colored pens in a box.
We have to select four pens from the different unique colored pens.
We have to find in how many different orders the four pens can be selected.
<h3>What is a permutation?</h3>
A permutation is the number of different arrangements of a set of items in a particular definite order.
The formula used for permutation of n items for r selection is:
Where n! = n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)..........1 and r! = r(r-1)(r-2)(r-3)........1
We have,
Number of colored pens = 6
n = 6.
Number of pens to be selected = 4
r = 4
Applying the permutation formula.
We get,
=
= 6! / 4!
=(6x5x4x3x2x1 ) / ( 4x3x2x1)
= 6x5
=30
Thus the number of permutations of picking 4 pens from a total of 6 unique colored pens in the box is 30.

The answer would be 15/4 or 3 3/4
ANSWER
EXPLANATION
Since the directrix is
the axis of symmetry of the parabola is parallel to the y-axis.
Again, the focus being,
also means that the parabola will open upwards.
The equation of parabola with such properties is given by,
where
is the vertex of the parabola.
The directrix and the axis of symmetry of the parabola will intersect at
The vertex is the midpoint of the focus and the point of intersection of the axis of the parabola and the directrix.
This implies that,
and
The equation of the parabola now becomes,
Thus, the distance between the vertex and the directrix.
This means that,
Since the parabola opens up, we choose
Our equation now becomes,
This simplifies to
or
This is the same as,
The correct answer is D .
Answer:
23, 25
Step-by-step explanation:
let the first number be represented as A, since there are two odd numbers, the second number would be A + 2
A + A+2 = 48
2A + 2 = 48
2A = 48 - 2
2A = 46 ( divide both sides by 2)
A = 23
since we know the next number to be A + 2
= 23 + 2 = 25
the two numbers are 23 and 25
Answers:
hypotenuse = 20 feet
longer leg = 16 feet
======================================================
Explanation:
c = x = length of the hypotenuse
a = x-4 = length of one of the legs
b = 12 = length of the other leg
Use the pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
12^2 + (x-4)^2 = (x)^2
144 + x^2 - 8x + 16 = x^2
144 - 8x + 16 = 0 .... the x^2 terms cancel
160-8x = 0
160 = 8x
8x = 160
x = 160/8
x = 20 is the hypotenuse
x-4 = 20-4 = 16 is the longer leg
--------
Check:
12^2+16^2 = 144+256 = 400
20^2 = 400
Since 12^2+16^2 = 20^2 is true, this means we have a right triangle with legs of 12 and 16, while the hypotenuse is 20. The answer is confirmed.
