Answer:

A. a) 24

A. b) 4

B. a) 40320

B. b) 576

Step-by-step explanation:

General formula for Permutations:

P(n,r) = \frac{n!}{(n - r)!}

A. Concert seats:  2 couple --- total of 4 persons.

a) without restrictions

Since there are no restrictions, but that the order is important (John, Mary, Paul, Michelle isn't the  same as Michelle, Mary, Paul, John), it's a permutation calculation.

Then we calculate the permutations of 4, out of 4, so...

P(4,4) = \frac{4!}{(4 - 4)!} = 4! = 24

24 different ways for them to sit.

b) couples together

Now, we can see the problem as having 2 levels of permutations, first the couples, then inside the couples.

There are 2 ways for the first level or order... couples AB or BA, so 2 possibilities.

Inside each couple, man then woman (MW) or woman then man (WM), so 2 possibilities there too on 2nd level.

Overall 2 * 2 = 4 ways to sit by couple.

B) Single file

a) without restrictions

Again, order is important, so another permutation, not a combination.  And since we have no restriction, it can be any sequence.

We then have to calculate the number of permutations of 8 out of 8...

P(8,8) = \frac{8!}{(8 - 8)!} = 8! = 40320

There are 40,320 ways these 8 kids can pass the door.

b) girls first.

So, the four girls have to enter first.... and these four girls can be in any order.. how many permutations? P(4,4)... so 24 as calculated above.

For the four boys, how many permutations?  Yes, again P(4,4)... so 24 again.

Overall, we need to multiply the two... 24 x 24 = 576 ways if the girls enter first, followed by the boys.

Which ordered pair is the solution to the system of linear equations y =5x +8 and y= -4 x-1
aleksley [76]

Answer:

(-1,3)

y=5x+8 , y=-4x-1y=5x+8,y=−4x−1

Both sides have y on the left hand side so make the right hand side equal and solve for x

5x+8= -4x-15x+8=−4x−1

To solve for x , add 4x on both sides

9x+8=-19x+8=−1

Subtract 8 on both sides

9x=-99x=−9

Divide by 9 on both sides

x=-1x=−1

Now plug in -1 for x in the first equation and find out y

y=5x+8y=5x+8

y=5(-1)+8y=5(−1)+8

y=-5+8y=−5+8

y=3y=3

Ordered pair is (x,y) that is (-1,3)

If the length of the legs of a right triangle are 5 m and 7 m, what is the length of the hypotenuse?
irakobra [83]

Answer:

c = 8.60232526704263

c \approx8.6

Step-by-step explanation:

{c}^{2}  =  {a}^{2}  +  {b}^{2}

c =  \sqrt{ {a}^{2}  +  {b}^{2} }

c =  \sqrt{ {5}^{2}  +  {7}^{2} }

c =  \sqrt{25 + 49}

c =  \sqrt{74}

c = 8.60232526704263

c \approx8.6
