1. State if each scenario involves a permutation or a combination. Then find the number of possibilities:(a) Castel and Joe are

planning trips to three countries this year. There are 7 countries they would like to visit. One trip will be one week long, another two days, and the other two weeks.(b) You are setting the combination on a three-digit lock. You want to use the numbers 123 but don't care what order they are in.(c) A group of 25 people are going to run a race. The top 8 finishers advance to the finals.

Answer:

a) This is a permutation, there are 210 ways to do it

b) This is a permutation with 6 possibilities

c) This is a combination with a total of 1081575 possibilities

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Here the order does matter bacause it is not the same that they go to France in the weak trip than they go there for 2 days, as a result, this scenario is a permutation.

You need to pick 3 countries from a total of 7, but the order matters, so the total amount of ways to do this is

{7 \choose 3} * 3! = \frac{7!}{(7-3)!} = 210

b) Here each permutation of 123 will give you a possible (and a different one from the others) lock-combination, so this is again a permutation.

The total amount of ways we have to do the selectio of the lock-combination is the total amount of permutations of a set of 3 elements, in other words, it is 3! = 6.

c) If you only cares about who advances to the finals, then the order doesnt matter here, you just want 8 people out of the 25 available. This is therefore a combination, and the total amount of possible cases are

{25 \choos 8} = 1081575 .

One number is five less than a second number. Five times the first is 15 more than 6 times the second. Find the numbers
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

x = -45, y = -40

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the first clue, we find out that

x + 5 = y

5x = 6y + 15

We can re-write the first equation to x = y - 5.

Therefore, the second equation can also be written as 5(y - 5) = 6y + 15

This can be simplified to 5y - 25 = 6y + 15

We can subtract 6y from each side, and add 25 to each side;

5y - 6y = 15 + 25

Therefore, -y = 40

Therefore y = -40.

Now let's plug this back into the original equation, to get : x  + 5 = -40

x=-45

What is the value of the expression 5x2 + 2x when x = 5?
masha68 [24]

Answer:

135

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

x = 5

To determine a numerical value for the expression, simply substitute the value of "x" into the expression and simplify the expression, if necessary, to determine a specific number for the expression provided.

  • \implies 5x^{2}  + 2x
  • \implies 5(5)^{2}  + 2(5) \longrightarrow \longrightarrow \longrightarrow (x = 5)
  • \implies 5(5)(5)  + 2(5)
  • \implies 125  + 10
  • \implies 135

Therefore, the value of the expression 5x^{2}  + 2x when x = 5 is 135.
