P(6,2) = 6!/(6-2)!
P(6,2) = 6!/4! 6! = 1*2*3*4*5*6 4! = 1*2*3*4
P(6,2) = (1*2*3*4*5*6)/(1*2*3*4)
P(6,2) = (5*6)/1
P(6,2) = 30
I hope this makes sense. Let me know if you don't understand any of this. ☺♥

12 spheres of the same size are made from melting a solid cylinder of 1 cm diameter and 2 cm height. Find the diameter of each s

mars1129 [50]

The answer is: The diameter is 4 centimeters.

The explanation is shown below:

1. The volume of the cylinder is:

$Vc=r^{2}h \pi$

Where $r$ is the radius ( $r=\frac{16cm}{2}=8cm$ ) and $h$ is the height ( $h=2cm$ ).

Then:

$Vc=(8cm)^{2}}(2cm)\pi\\Vc=128\pi$

2. The total volume of the 12 spheres is:

$Vs=12(\frac{4}{3}r^{3}\pi)\\Vs=16r^{3}\pi$

3. The volume of the cylinder and the total volume of all the 12 spheres, are equal, therefore:

$Vc=Vs\\128\pi=16r^{3}\pi$

4. Now, you must solve for the radius:

$r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{128\pi}{16\pi}}\\r=2cm$

5. The diameter is:

$d=2r\\d=2(2cm)\\d=4cm$

At what value of x do the graphs of the equations below intersect?

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The intersection is the point where two equations meet. It is calculated by substituting terms into the equations involved. For the given systems of equation, calculations are as follows:

2x - y = 6

y = 2x - 6

We substitute the equation above to the second equation.

5x + 10y = –10

5x + 10( 2x - 6 )= –10

Simplifying,

5x + 20x - 60 = -10

25x = 50

x = 2

Therefore, the intersection has the value of x equal to 2.
