The number of permutations of 8 people taken 6 at a time is given by:
$8P6=\frac{8!}{(8-6)!}=20,160

Answer: 28ways

Step-by-step explanation:

This has to do with selection i.e selecting 6people from pool of 8 people

Since combination have to do with selection, the selection can be done I'm 8C6 ways

Generally, nCr = n!/(n-r)!r!

8C6 = 8!/(8-6)!6!

= 8!/2!6!

= 8×7 × 6!/2!6!

= 8×7/2!

= 56/2

= 28ways

Ben and Josh went to the roof of their 40-foot tall high school to throw their math books off the edge.

krok68 [10]

Answer:

Josh's book lands first
Ben's lands about 0.648 seconds later

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the given equation for v=60 and s=40, the height of Ben's book is ...

h(t) = -16t² +60t +40

We want to find t when h(t) = 0, so we're looking for the solution to ....

0 = -16t² +60t +40

Using the quadratic formula, we find the positive value of t to be ...

t = (-60 -√(60² -4(-16)(40)))/(2(-16)) = (15 +√385)/8 ≈ 4.3277

Similarly, the height of Josh's book is ...

0 = -16t² +48t +40

t = (-48 -√(48² -4(-16)(40)))/(2(-16)) = (12 +√304)/8 ≈ 3.6794

The time before Josh's book lands is shorter by ...

4.3277 -3.6794 ≈ 0.6482 . . . . . seconds

Josh's book reaches the ground first, by about 0.648 seconds.

#1.) A rational number is a number that can be written as a ratio. That means it can be written as a fraction, in which both the numerator (the number on top) and the denominator (the number on the bottom) are whole numbers. The number 8 is a rational number because it can be written as the fraction 8/1.

I don't want to give you the answer cause that will not help you I'm the future If I just give it to you. It might help you but that's what I learned in school is that it doesn't help. Because like if you cheat on a test you won't get to learn. But if you did it yourself and got it wrong you can see why
