Find the number of ways of arranging the numbers

First of all, note that all integers are either 0,1, or 2 modulo 3 (if you're not familiar with this terminology, it means that every integer is either a multiple of 3, or it is 1 or 2 away from a multiple of 3).

So, we can think of our numbers as

\begin{array}{c|c}x&x\mod 3\\0&0\\1&1\\2&2\\3&0\\4&1\\5&2\\6&0\\7&1\\8&2\\9&0\end{array}

In order to make sure that the sum of any three adjacent numbers is divisible by 3, we have to make sure that any group of 3 three adjacent numbers contains a 0, a 1 and a 2. This is possible only if we arrange our 9 numbers in 3 groups of 3 numbers containing 0,1 and 2 exactly once, repeating always the same pattern.

For example, we could arrange our numbers following the pattern

0,1,2,0,1,2,0,1,2

or

2,0,1,2,0,1,2,0,1

We have 3!=6 possible patterns. Suppose for example that we choose the pattern

0,1,2,0,1,2,0,1,2

One possible way of following this pattern would be the arrangement

3,1,2,6,4,5,9,7,8

In fact, we substituted every '0' with a multiple of 3 (3, 6 or 9), every '1' with a number 1 away from a multiple of 3 (1, 4 or 7) and every '2' with a number 2 away from a multiple of 3 (2, 5 or 8).

This means that, once we fix a patter, we have 3 choices for the first 3 slots, 2 choices for the next 3 slots, and the final slot will be fixed. So, we have

3\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 = 216

possible ways of following a fixed pattern. Since the number of patterns was 6, we have

216\cdot 6 = 1296

possible arrangements.

Answer: 432

Step-by-step explanation:

Each number is a multiple of 3, or 1 more than a multiple of 3, or one less than a multiple of 3.  These number we will call x's, y's, and z's.

If we add x + y + z, then we get x, because y and z will even each other out, since y is 1 more than multiple of 3 and z is one less.

Because of this, we can conclude that we have to arrange the numbers in a repeating pattern, like x, y, z, x, y, z, ... or z, y, x, z, y, x, ...

In this set 1, 2, 3, ..., 9, there are 3 x's, 3 y's, and 3 z's.

To fill up a pattern, there are 3 choices for the first x, y, z, 2 choices for second, then 1 choice.

3^3 * 2^3 * 1^3 = 27*8*1 = 216

This is equal for both patterns, so there are 216 * 2 = 432 ways to arrange the numbers.

Aaron deposits $8,000 into an account that earns 3% interest, compounded Annually. How much money will he have after 4 years
Lapatulllka [165]
The equation used for this problem is

F = P(1+i)ⁿ
where
F is the future worth
P is the present worth
i is the effective interest rate
n is the number of years

Substituting the values,

F = <span>$8,000(1 + 0.03)</span>⁴
F = $9,004.07

Thus, after 4 years, Aaron will have $9,004.07.

Need help ASAP!!!! Been thinking for a long time.
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

81%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's set up 3 equations:

w*0.6 = x

x*1.5=y

y*0.9=z

Now, we can substitute x in the second equation for w*0.6:

w*0.6*1.5 = y

Lastly, we can substitute y in the last equation for w*0.6*1.5:

w*0.6*1.5*0.9=z

w*0.81=z

Therefore, z is 81 percent of w.

Fill in the table using this function rule. <br><br> y=-2x+3<br><br> × -2, -1, 0, 1
ycow [4]

Answer:

If x = -2, -1, 0, 1, then (In this order) y = 7, 5, 3, 1

Step-by-step explanation:

If you put in each value of "x" into the equation, you'll get the appropriate "y".

y= -2(-2)+3

y= 4+3

y= 7

y= -2(-1)+3

y= 2+3

y= 5

y= -2(0)+3

y= 0+3

y= 3

y= -2(1)+3

y= -2+3

y= 1
