Answer: so we have 5 positions, but we only care for the first two.

So, in the first position there are 5 options (because there are 5 swimmers).

In the second position whe will have 4 options (because there are already one swimmer in the first position).

So you have 5*4 = 20 ways for the prizes to be awarded.

It would be 20, because;
1 - 2 / 3 / 4 / 5
2 - 1 / 3 / 4 / 5
3 - 1 / 2 / 4 / 5
4 - 1 / 2 / 3 /5
5 - 1 / 2 / 3 / 4

= 4x5 = 20

A test asked students to find the ratio of circles to triangles.Greg got 5:2 as his answer and Paige got 2:5.Do there answers me
adoni [48]

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because 5:2 could mean there are 5 circles to 2 triangles and 2:5 could mean 2 circles to 5 triangles.

5 circles is not the same as 2 circles as 2 triangles is not the same as 5 triangles.

Answer:

A. y=3x-10

C. y+6=3(x-15)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The given line is 6x+18y=5

Express this in slope-intercept form y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

6x+18y=5\\18y=-6x+5\\y=-\frac{6}{18}x+\frac{5}{18}\\y=-\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{5}{18}

Therefore, the slope of the line is m=-\frac{1}{3}.

Now, for perpendicular lines, the product of their slopes is equal to -1.

Let us find the slopes of each lines.

Option A:

y=3x-10

On comparing with the slope-intercept form, we get slope as  m_{A}=3.

Now, m\times m_{A}=-\frac{1}{3}\times 3=-1. So, option A is perpendicular to the given line.

Option B:

For lines of the form x=a, where, a is a constant, the slope is undefined. So, option B is incorrect.

Option C:

On comparing with the slope-point form, we get slope as  m_{C}=3.

Now, m\times m_{C}=-\frac{1}{3}\times 3=-1. So, option C is perpendicular to the given line.

Option D:

3x+9y=8\\9y=-3x+8\\y=-\frac{3}{9}x+\frac{8}{9}\\y=-\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{8}{9}

On comparing with the slope-intercept form, we get slope as  m_{D}=-\frac{1}{3}.

Now, m\times m_{D}=-\frac{1}{3}\times -\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{9}. So, option D is not perpendicular to the given line.

Determine whether the sequence converges or diverges. If it converges, give the limit. 60, 10, five divided by three, five divid
vodomira [7]
A_n = 60, 10, \frac{5}{3}, \frac{5}{18}

Using geometric sequence form, we can rewrite it as:
A_n = a_1 \cdot r^{n-1}
A_n = 60 \cdot \frac{1}{6}^{n - 1}

Since r < 1, there exists a limit, and thus, it is said to converge.
\lim_{n \to \infty} 60 \cdot (\frac{1}{6})^{n - 1}
= 0

Since the ratio is still positive, as n tends towards infinity, the graph of the sequence will never go below the horizontal. Thus, we say that the limit of the function is zero, which means that as we increase the size of n, eventually after the infinite-th time, it will hit zero.
