Answer:

She can visit the cities in 192 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

If Sally starts from city A and after going to 4 cities she returns to home,

then that can be in 4! = 24 ways. (permutation of 4 distinct objects)

If between the time she visits cities, she comes home once,

then cities can be visited in,

4! \times 3_{C_{1}} = 72 ways.  (permutation of 4      distinct objects  and choosing 1 gap among the 3 )

If between the time she visits cities, she comes home twice,

then cities can be visited in,

4! \times 3_{C_{2}} =72 ways. (permutation of 4 distinct objects and finding 2 gaps among the 3)

If between the time she visits cities, she comes home thrice,

then cities can be visited in,

4! \times 3_{C_{3}} = 24 ways. (permutation of 4 distinct objects and choosing 3 gaps among the 3)

Now, she can't come home more than thrice in between the time she visits cities (since there are 4 cities to visit only)

So, the number of ways she can visit cities = (24+ 72 + 72 + 24)

                                                                       = 192

The answer is 16.

First of all, you need to divide 4 by 1/4.

4/1 / 1/4 = 1.

15 - 1 + 2

Next, you go from left to right with addition and subtraction, so subtract 1 from 15 first.

15 - 1 = 14

14 + 2

Finally, add 14 and 2.

14 + 2 = 16.

Use the quadratic formula to solve for x.
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

x = 1/3 + sqrt(5/2)/3 or x = 1/3 - sqrt(5/2)/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

6 x^2 - 4 x = 1

Divide both sides by 6:

x^2 - (2 x)/3 = 1/6

Add 1/9 to both sides:

x^2 - (2 x)/3 + 1/9 = 5/18

Write the left hand side as a square:

(x - 1/3)^2 = 5/18

Take the square root of both sides:

x - 1/3 = sqrt(5/2)/3 or x - 1/3 = -sqrt(5/2)/3

Add 1/3 to both sides:

x = 1/3 + sqrt(5/2)/3 or x - 1/3 = -sqrt(5/2)/3

Add 1/3 to both sides:

Answer: x = 1/3 + sqrt(5/2)/3 or x = 1/3 - sqrt(5/2)/3
