Answer:

390625

Step-by-step explanation:

The questions are all independent -- the answer on one question does not limit the number of possible answers on another question.

The quiz has 5 choices for each question, so there are

5\times5\times5\times5\times5\times5\times5\times5 ways to answer the quiz questions.

Notice that this could be written 5^8.  You could say that the number of ways to answer the questions is

number \, of \, choices^{number \, of \, questions}

Use a calculator to find 5^8

The sum of two numbers is 40 - 13. what are the integers.
Anni [7]
So. let's say the numbers are "a" and "b"

whatever they're, we know a + b = 56

let's say the larger one is "b", so 3 times the smaller is 3*a or 3a
now, 12 less than that, is 3a - 12

and the larger is that, so b = 3a - 12

so   \bf \begin{cases}
a+b=56\\
\boxed{b}=3a-12\\
----------\\
a+\boxed{3a-12}=56
\end{cases}

solve for "a", to see what the smaller one is

what's b? well, b = 56 - a

Can someone explain thoroughly how I am meant to solve this?
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

I got x<equal to -11 or x>equal to4

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+15x+44=0

(x+4)(x+11)=0(Factor left side of equation)

x+4=0 or x+11=0(Set factors equal to 0)

x=−4 or x=−11

Check intervals in between critical points. (Test values in the intervals to see if they work.)

x<−11(Works in original inequality)

−11<x<−4(Doesn't work in original inequality)

x>−4(Works in original inequality)

Answer:

x<−11 or x>−4

Suppose <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=m" id="TexFormula1" title="m" alt="m" align="absmiddle" class="latex-formula"> men and
ollegr [7]

Firstly, we'll fix the postions where the n women will be. We have n! forms to do that. So, we'll obtain a row like:

\underbrace{\underline{~~~}}_{x_2}W_2 \underbrace{\underline{~~~}}_{x_3}W_3 \underbrace{\underline{~~~}}_{x_4}... \underbrace{\underline{~~~}}_{x_n}W_n \underbrace{\underline{~~~}}_{x_{n+1}}

The n+1 spaces represented by the underline positions will receive the men of the row. Then,

x_1+x_2+x_3+...+x_{n-1}+x_n+x_{n+1}=m~~~(i)

Since there is no women sitting together, we must write that x_2,x_3,...,x_{n-1},x_n\ge1. It guarantees that there is at least one man between two consecutive women. We'll do some substitutions:

\begin{cases}x_2=x_2'+1\\x_3=x_3'+1\\...\\x_{n-1}=x_{n-1}'+1\\x_n=x_n'+1\end{cases}

The equation (i) can be rewritten as:

x_1+x_2+x_3+...+x_{n-1}+x_n+x_{n+1}=m\\\\&#10;x_1+(x_2'+1)+(x_3'+1)+...+(x_{n-1}'+1)+x_n+x_{n+1}=m\\\\&#10;x_1+x_2'+x_3'+...+x_{n-1}'+x_n+x_{n+1}=m-(n-1)\\\\&#10;x_1+x_2'+x_3'+...+x_{n-1}'+x_n+x_{n+1}=m-n+1~~~(ii)

We obtained a linear problem of non-negative integer solutions in (ii). The number of solutions to this type of problem are known: \dfrac{[(n)+(m-n+1)]!}{(n)!(m-n+1)!}=\dfrac{(m+1)!}{n!(m-n+1)!}

[I can write the proof if you want]

Now, we just have to calculate the number of forms to permute the men that are dispposed in the row: m!

Multiplying all results:

n!\times\dfrac{(m+1)!}{n!(m-n+1)!}\times m!\\\\&#10;\boxed{\boxed{\dfrac{m!(m+1)!}{(m-n+1)!}}}
