<span>When the order doesn't matter, we would be using the Combination. While, when the order does matter it is called permutation.</span>

 

In this case, permutation would be use since there is a ranking for the albums.

We need to choose and arrange 5 albums out of 20. Hence, the number of possible ways will be:

<span>5/20 P = 20! Divided by (20 – 5)! = 20 x 19 x 18 x 17 x 16 = 1860480</span>

It takes 212121 minutes for 555 people to paint 777 walls. How many minutes does it take 333 people to paint 555 walls?
Papessa [141]

Solution: We are given that:

5 people can paint 7 walls in 21 minutes

Therefore, 1 person can paint 7 walls in 21 \times 5=105 minutes

Which means 1 person can paint 1 wall in \frac{105}{7} =15 minutes

Now, 3 people can paint 1 wall in \frac{15}{3} =5 minutes

Therefore, 3 people can paint 5 walls in 5 \times 5=25 minutes

Which expression is equivalent to the expression (x^2-y^2)^2​
Pepsi [2]

Step-by-step explanation:

(x^2-y^2)^2\\\\\text{use}\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\\\\=(x^2)^2-2(x^2)(y^2)+(y^2)^2\\\\\text{use}\ (a^n)^m=a^{nm}\\\\=x^4-2x^2y^2+y^2\\-----------------------------

\text{Other solution}\\\\(x^2-y^2)^2\\\\\text{use}\ a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\\\\= [(x-y)(x+y)]^2\\\\\text{use}\ (ab)^n=a^nb^n\\\\=(x-y)^2(x+y)^2
