Step-by-step explanation:
the area is

will max if
a. x = 2
and the max area is
b 32
The number that is a perfect square is 16
The answers are:
P(9, 2) = 72
P(5, 5) = 120
P(7, 7) = 5040
These are examples of permutations. The problems are asking us to find the total number of ways an event can happen.
In the first case, P(9, 2), we are asked to find the ways that 2 things can be chosen out of a group of 9.
9 x 8 = 72
P(5, 5) = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
P(7, 7) = 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
Answer: (8x) + (y/7)
The word 'product' means multiplication and the word 'quotient' means division. Only (8x) + (y/7) multiplies 8 and x while diving y and 7.
