There are a total of 8 letters in student, with 6 different letters ( there are 2 s's and 2 t's).

First find the number of arrangements that can be made using 8 letters.

This is 8! which is:

8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 3 x 2 x 1 = 40,320

Now there are 2 s's and 2 t's find the number of arrangements of those:

S = 2! = 2 x 1 = 2

T = 2! = 2 x 1 = 2

Now divide the total combinations by the product of the s and t's:

40,320 / (2*2)

= 40320 / 4

= 10,080

The answer is A. 10,080

Given: Circle C is constructed so that CD = DE = AD; CA is a radius of circle C.

LenKa [72]

Answer:

because AE touches the circumference of circle c.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that CA is a radius of circle C. so we know that A touches the circumference.

so if the line kept going, it still woulnt go through the circle, only touch the circumference. which is what a tangent is

Let the universal set, s, have 66 elements. a and b are subsets of s. set a contains 19 elements and set b contains 34 elements.

Otrada [13]

The cardinality of the union between two sets is given by

$N(A\cup B) = N(A) + N(B) - N(A \cap B)$

In fact, if an element is in both A and B, it is counted in both N(A) and N(B), so we're counting it twice. By subtracting the cardinality of the interserction, we're taking back one of these "extra-counted" element, and the count is correct. In your case, the numbers are

$N(A \cup B) = 19+34-10 = 43$
