Answer:

The number of complete award announcements possible are 19,554,575,040.

Step-by-step explanation:

Combination is the number of ways to select <em>k</em> items from <em>n</em> distinct items when the order of selection does not matters.

Whereas permutation is the number of ways to select <em>k</em> item from <em>n</em> items when order of selection matters.

The number of people entering this year is 22.

The number of ways to select 5 people for Grand Prize is, {22\choose 5}=\frac{22!}{5!(22-5)!} =26334.

The remaining number of people is, 22 - 5 = 17.

It is provided that the other 5 are selected according to an order.

The number of ways to select other 5 winners is,

^{17}P_{5}=\frac{17!}{(17-5)!} =742560

The total number of ways to select 10 winners of 22 is:

Total number of ways = 26334 × 742560 = 19,554,575,040.

What is the distance between points A(-3,4) and B(1,-2)?
SashulF [63]

Answer:

7.211103

Step-by-step explanation:

For:

(X1, Y1) = (-3, 4)

(X2, Y2) = (1, -2)

Distance Equation Solution:

d=(1−(−3))2+(−2−4)2−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√

d=(4)2+(−6)2−−−−−−−−−−√

d=16+36−−−−−−√

d=5–√2

d=7.211103
