Since the the people are not auditioning for the same position, the order in which they are selected matters. This tells us that we have to calculate the permutation of 8 objects taking 3 at a time. The permutation of n objects taking r at a time is given by the formula P(n,r)=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!} \\P(8,3)=\frac{8!}{(8-3)!} =\frac{8\times7\times6\times5!}{5!} =8\times7\times6=336

The director can fill these positions in 366 ways.

A quicker way to solve this problem would have been to realize that there are 8 ways to fill the first position. Once the first position has been filled, there are  7 ways to fill the second position. Once the second position has been filled, there 6 ways to fill the third position. The total number of ways to fill the positions will then be p=8\times7\times6=336. Both ways of working this problem out are valid.

There are 72 different ways the director can fill the positions.

(1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8) x 2


You multiply it by 2 because there are going to be 4 other people who will not have a position, and 8/4 is 2.

Janie is analyzing a quadratic function f(x) and a linear function g(x). Will they intersect?
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Option (D) is correct.

No, They will not intersect.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Points for g(x), (1,2) , (2,4) and (3,6)

Since g is a linear function then it must be in form of  g(x) = mx +c where, c is constant and m is slope.

We first calculate the slope using,

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Here, consider x_1=1 , x_2=2 , y_1=2, y_2=4

Substitute above, we get slope as,

m=\frac{4-2}{2-1}=2

Thus, equation becomes g(x) = 2x + c  ...(1)

For c plug the values  in (1),

(1,2) ⇒ 2= 2 + c ⇒  c = 0

Thus, Equation of G(x) is 2x.

When we plot it it do not intersect f(x).

Thus, Option (D) is correct.

No, They will not intersect.
