There are an unknown number of possible outcomes. To figure this out all we need to do is multiply the amount of options per category to get the number of possible combinations.
In this case, there are 3 choices of food items and 3 choices of drinks.
Therefore, we need to multiply 3 by 3 to get the combinations.
3 times 3 equals 9
In conclusion, there are 9 possible combinations to be made from the choices presented.
The answer is 6 because anything times 1 is it self
Set p(x) = 0 and solve for x.
x^3 - 4x^2 + 3x - 12 = 0
x^3 - 4x^2 ... + 3x - 12 = 0, cut in half and factor
x^2 (x-4) ... +3 (x-4) = 0, regroup
(x^2 + 3) (x-4) = 0, set each part equal to zero and solve
x^2 + 3 = 0, subtract 3 from both sides
x^2 = -3, take square root of both sides
x = sqrt (-3) which is imaginary.
x-4 = 0, add 4 to both sides
x = 4
Since we do not want complex/imaginary numbers involved, our answer is 4. They will break even in 4 years.
Answer:
They can sit next to each other in 24 different ways.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve this problem, use the factorial function (!).
4! = 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 24
