Suppose that you can only use the set of small letters characters (a-z) and odd numbers (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) to set a password. What

is the total number of 8-character passwords that can be constructed from such a character set?

Answer:

31^8

Step-by-step explanation:

To create a password, you need to select 8 characters (not necessarily different) from the set {1,3,5,7,9,a,b,c,...,z}. Now, this set has 31 elements: the 26 lowercase letters from the alphabet and the 5 odd numbers (1,3,5,7,9).

Now, there are 31 ways to choose the first character, it can be any element from our set. The second character can also be chosen in 31 ways, because there are not restrictions (repetitions, specific characters, etc). Similarly, the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth characters have 31 possibilities each one.

The number of passwords is the number of ways of selecting the 8 characters, then by the multiplication principle the number of passwords is 31×31×31×31×31×31×31×31=31^8.

The weight of a nickel is 80% of a quarter. If a nickel weighs 5 grams how much does a quarter weigh?
muminat

Answer:

Weight of a quarter  = 6.25 grams

Weight of a dime  = 2.5 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of a nickel is  80%

The weight of a quarter  or the weight of a nickel is 5 grams or weight of a quarter =50.8 = 6.25 grams

Weight of a dime = 50% = 12 (weight of nickel) = 52 = 2.5 grams

A cruise ship is traveling at a speed of 20 knots . A knot is approximately equal to 1.151 miles per hour. What is the approxima
Mrrafil [7]
1 mile = 1760 yards
20 * 1.151 = 23.02
23.02 * 1760 = 40,515.2
40,515.2 / 60 = 675.243~
675.243~ / 60 = 11.2542~
They are traveling 11.25 yards per second
I took the number of knots multiplied by the approximate miles per hour equal
Then multiplied that by the number of yards in a mile, and then divided that by the number of minutes in an hour, and divided that by the number of seconds in a minute. That is how I got the answer, I hope it helps!

Find the obtuse angle between the following pair of straight lines.
ioda

Given:

y=-2

y=\sqrt{3}x-1

To find:

The obtuse angle between the given pair of straight lines.

Solution:

The slope intercept form of a line is

y=mx+b     ...(i)

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

The given equations are

y=0x-2

y=\sqrt{3}x-1

On comparing these equations with (i), we get

m_1=0

m_2=\sqrt{3}

Angle between two lines whose slopes are m_1\text{ and }m_2 is

\tan \theta=\left|\dfrac{m_2-m_1}{1+m_1m_2}\right|

Putting m_1=0 and m_2=\sqrt{3}, we get

\tan \theta=\left|\dfrac{\sqrt{3}-0}{1+(0)(\sqrt{3})}\right|

\tan \theta=\left|\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{1+0}\right|

\tan \theta=\pm \sqrt{3}

Now,

\tan \theta= \sqrt{3} and \tan \theta=-\sqrt{3}

\tan \theta= \tan 60^\circ and \tan \theta=\tan (180^\circ-60^\circ)

\theta= 60^\circ and \theta=120^\circ

120>90, so it is an obtuse angle and 60, so it is an acute angle.

Therefore, the obtuse angle between the given pair of straight lines is 120°.
