Answer:

1320 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

In a race in which twelve automobiles are entered and there are no ties.

We have to find the ways in which first three finishers come in.

In these questions when order is fixed means when first, second and third positions are fixed (First comes, then second and then third) then we use the permutation to find the number of ways.

3 positions out of 12 automobiles = ^{12}P_{3}=\frac{12!}{(12-3)!}

= \frac{12!}{9!}

= \frac{(12)(11)(10)(9!)}{(9!)}

= 12×11×10

= 1320

In 1320 ways first three automobiles may come in.

That is 3 slots
12 in 1st slot
11 in 2nd
10 in 3rd

so that is 12*11*10 or 1320 ways

Here, we want to know the kind of reasoning the statement is.

In this question, the kind of reasoning is deductive

In the deductive reasoning type, we go from general cases to specific cases

It is just like saying the reason why there will be hurricanes in the tropics this fall is because there is an hurricane every fall

So we have gone from a general case to give a specific case

m∠WYX=(2x−1)° and m∠WYZ=(4x+1)°. If ∠WYX and ∠WYZ are complementary, what is the measure of each angle?
Neko [114]

We are given : m∠WYX=(2x−1)° and m∠WYZ=(4x+1)°.

∠WYX and ∠WYZ are complementary.

We know, sum of complementary angles is = 90°.

So, we need to add ∠WYX and ∠WYZ and set it equal to 90°.

m∠WYX + m∠WYZ = 90°.

Plugging values of ∠WYX and ∠WYZ in the above equation, we get

(2x−1)° + (4x+1)° = 90°.

Removing parentheses from both sides,

2x-1 + 4x+1 =90.

Combining like terms,

2x+4x= 6x and -1+1 =0

6x +0 =90.

6x=90.

Dividing both sides by 6.

6x/6 =90/6

x= 15.

Plugging value of x=15.

m∠WYX=(2x−1)° = 2*15 -1 = 30 -1 =29

m∠WYZ=(4x+1)° = 4*15 +1 = 60+1 = 61.

Therefore, ∠WYX=29° and ∠WYZ=61°.
