Answer:

The change in the car's distance is 8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- A car is driving away from a crosswalk

- The distance d (in feet) of the car from the crosswalk t seconds

since the car started moving is given by the formula d = t² + 3.5

- The time increasing from 1 second to 3 seconds

- We need to now the change of the car's distance from the crosswalk

∵ The equation of the distance is d = t² + 3.5

∵ The time is 1 second

∴ d = (1)² + 3.5

∴ d = 1 + 3.5 = 4.5 feet

∵ The time is 3 seconds

∴ d = (3)² + 3.5

∴ d = 9 + 3.5 = 12.5 feet

∵ The change of the distance = d of 3 sec - d of 1 sec

∵ d of 3 sec = 12.5 feet

∵ d of 1 sec = 4.5 feet

∴ The change of the distance = 12.5 - 4.5 = 8 feet

∴ The change in the car's distance is 8 feet

How many fifths are the in 60/100

tankabanditka [31]

In order to calculate that, we need to divide it by 1/5 as follows:
60/100 / 1/5

We can re-write it as: 60/100 * 5 = 6/10 * 5 = 30/10 = 3

So, there are "3" 1/5ths in 60/100

Hope this helps!

7) PG & E have 12 linemen working Tuesdays in Placer County. They work in groups of 8. How many

BabaBlast [244]

Part A

Since order matters, we use the nPr permutation formula

We use n = 12 and r = 8

$_{n}P_{r} = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}\\\\_{12}P_{8} = \frac{12!}{(12-8)!}\\\\_{12}P_{8} = \frac{12!}{4!}\\\\_{12}P_{8} = \frac{12*11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1}{4*3*2*1}\\\\_{12}P_{8} = \frac{479,001,600}{24}\\\\_{12}P_{8} = 19,958,400\\\\$

There are a little under 20 million different permutations.

<h3>Answer: 19,958,400</h3>

Side note: your teacher may not want you to type in the commas

============================================================

Part B

In this case, order doesn't matter. We could use the nCr combination formula like so.

$_{n}C_{r} = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}\\\\_{12}C_{8} = \frac{12!}{8!(12-8)!}\\\\_{12}C_{8} = \frac{12!}{4!}\\\\_{12}C_{8} = \frac{12*11*10*9*8!}{8!*4!}\\\\_{12}C_{8} = \frac{12*11*10*9}{4!} \ \text{ ... pair of 8! terms cancel}\\\\_{12}C_{8} = \frac{12*11*10*9}{4*3*2*1}\\\\_{12}C_{8} = \frac{11880}{24}\\\\_{12}C_{8} = 495\\\\$

We have a much smaller number compared to last time because order isn't important. Consider a group of 3 people {A,B,C} and this group is identical to {C,B,A}. This idea applies to groups of any number.

-----------------

Another way we can compute the answer is to use the result from part A.

Recall that:

nCr = (nPr)/(r!)

If we know the permutation value, we simply divide by r! to get the combination value. In this case, we divide by r! = 8! = 8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 40,320

So,

$_{n}C_{r} = \frac{_{n}P_{r}}{r!}\\\\_{12}C_{8} = \frac{_{12}P_{8}}{8!}\\\\_{12}C_{8} = \frac{19,958,400}{40,320}\\\\_{12}C_{8} = 495\\\\$

Not only is this shortcut fairly handy, but it's also interesting to see how the concepts of combinations and permutations connect to one another.
