  first number      and       second number       and     third number   =     Total

78 possibilities      x         78 possibilities           x     78 possibilities   =     234

Since "order" matters, this is a permutation.

So, this can be calculated using: ₇₈P₃

"Permutation lock" would be a more appropriate name.

Answer:

<h2>There are 456,533 ways to use the lock.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the problem, the lock uses three numbers between 1 and 78, that is, 77 elements in total, with repetition. To find the answer we have to use the definition that allow elements to repeat, which is:

P_{n}^{r}=n^{r}; where n is the total number of elements, and n is the subgroup.

Replacing values, we have:

P_{77}^{3}=77^{3}=456,533

Therefore, there are 456,533 ways to use the lock.

Which sequences of transformations will map circle<br><br> M onto circle N?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

1: Reflect M across the x-axis

2: Dilate about the center by 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for M and N

Required

Which maps M to N

The coordinates of the radius of the circles are:

M = (5,5)

N = (5,-5)

And the radius of circles are:

r_M=2

r_N=3

The first transformation from M to M' is:

- Reflect across the x-axis

The rule is:

(x,y) \to (x,-y)

M(5,5) \to M'(5,-5)

<em>At this point, M' and N now have the same center but different radius.</em>

The second transformation from M' to N is:

- Dilate about the center by dividing the radius of N by the radius of M

i.e.

k =\frac{r_N}{r_M}

k =\frac{3}{2}

<em>At this point, M has been completely mapped to N.</em>
