Permutations!!

Mathematics
1 answer:
Advocard [28]3 years ago
3 0

<span>Since the problem specifically stated that the people gather around the table, therefore we assume a circular table hence a circular formation of gathering.  Since the arrangement is important therefore we use the permutation.  </span>

nPr = n! / (n – r)!

<span>However before we proceed with our calculation we MUST first affix a reference point since the formation is circle. Imagine that the reference point is the 1st point made when you draw a circle, so it is the both the 0 degrees and the 360 degrees.</span>

Let us say that one of the actors is the reference point. So there are now only 8 actors which places can be interchanged. Since all actors have to sit together, hence the arrangements are:

8P8 = 8! / (8 – 8)! = 40,320

Now since there are 13 total people, therefore the arrangements of the other 4 people are:

4P4 = 4! / (4 – 4)! = 24

 

We multiply all to get the total number of arrangements:

<span>Total arrangements = 40320 * 24 * 1                        (1 is the reference point)</span>

<span>Total arrangements = 967,680</span>

(1/27)^x-6=27<br><br>Could I please have a step by step as well? Much appreciated! ​
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Use Division Distributive Property: (x/y)^a = x^a/y^a.

\frac{1}{ {27}^{x - 8} }  = 27

2) Multiply both sides by 27^x - 8.

1 =  {27} \times 27^{1 + x  - 8}

3) Use the product rule: x^a x^b = x^a+b.

1 =  {27}^{1 + x - 8}

4) Simplify 1 + x - 8 to x - 7.

1  =  {27}^{x - 7}

5) Use Definition of Common Logarithm: b^a = x if and only if log<u>b</u><u> </u>(x) = a.

log_{27}1 = x - 7

6) Use Change of Base Rule.

\frac{ log_1  }{  log{27} }  = x - 7

7) Use rule of 1: log 1 = 0.

\frac{0}{ log_{27}}  = x - 7

8) Simplify 0/log_27 to 0.

0 = x - 7

9) Add 7 to both sides.

7 = x

10) Switch sides.

x = 7

<u>Therefor</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>answer</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>x</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>7</u><u>.</u>

Write the equation of the line described in point-slope form. Then, change to Standard Form. Contains points (3/2,-1/2) and (-1/
larisa [96]
Slope point form :
To put in slope point form, label any of the points as either X1,y1 and X and y, then plug in those values into the following equation form.
Y - y1 = m(X-X1)

But before, we must solve for the m value or slope.
M = y2-y1/x2-X1
M = 5/2 - -1/2 / -1/2 - 3/2.
M = 5/2 + 1/2 / -(1/2+3/2)
M = 6/2 / -(4/2)
M = 3/-2

Now we can place it in slope point and also in standard form of a line.

Y-y1 = m(X -X1)

Y - -1/2 = -3/2(X - 3/2)

Y + 1/2 = -3/2(X - 3/2)

This is in slope point form.

Y + 1/2 = -3/2x + 9/4
Y + 1/2 - 1/2 = -3/2x + 9/4 - 1/2
1/2 = 2/4
Y = -3/2x + 7/4
-3/2x = -6/4x
Y = -6/4x + 7/4
Y • 4 = 4( -6/4 X + 7/4)
4y = -6x + 7
4y + 6x = -6x + 6x +7

6x + 4y = 7

This is in standard form. If you have any questions of the steps just ask.
