Answer:

<h3>720 different ways</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Permutation has to do with arrangement. If r objevt selected from n pool of objects are to be arranged in a straight line, this can be done in nPr number of ways.

nPr = n!/(n-r)!

If 5 people are to be chosen and arranged in a straight line, if there are 6 people to choose from, this can be done in 6P5 numbe of ways.

6P5 = 6!/(6-5)!

6P5 = 6!/1!

6P5 = 6*5*4*3*2*1

6P5 = 720 different ways

$2x-5= - 20$

$
2x=-20+5
 
$ $Add \ 5 \ to \ both \ sides
$

$2x=-15

 
$

$x=- \dfrac{15}{2}$ $Divide \ both \ sides \ by \ 2$

Find the values of the power in the following pattern: (10)1, (10)2, (10)3, (10)4....Describe the pattern, and use it to evaluat

Irina18 [472]

10^1 = 10
10^2 = 100 {10 x 10 = 100}
10^3 = 1000 {10 x 10 x 10 = 1,000}
10^4 = 10000 {10 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 10,000}

The exponent represents how many zeros will be used in the answer. For example, 10^6 would include 6 zeros in it’s answer; 1,000,000.
