Suppose that there are 15 antennas in a store, of which 3 are defective. Assume all the defectives and all the functional antenn

as are indistinguishable. If we lay all the antennas down in a row, how many linear orderings are there in which no two defectives are consecutive?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of antenna is 15

Defective antenna is 3

The functional antenna is 15-3=12.

Now, if no two defectives are to be consecutive, then the spaces between the functional antennas must each contain at most one defective antenna.

So,

We line up the 13 good ones, and see where the bad one will fits in

__G __ G __ G __ G __ G __G __ G __ G __ G __ G __ G __ G __G __

Each of the places where there's a line is an available spot for one (and no more than one!) bad antenna.

Then,

There are 14 spot available for the defective and there are 3 defective, so the arrange will be combinational arrangement

ⁿCr= n!/(n-r)!r!

The number of arrangement is

14C3=14!/(14-3)!3!

14C3=14×13×12×11!/11!×3×2

14C3=14×13×12/6

14C3=364ways

Answer:

 \frac{4x^2y-5xy^2-11}{y}  

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{8x^2y^2-10xy^3-22y}{2y^2}

=\frac{8x^2y-10xy^2-22y}{2y}

=\frac{4x^2y-5xy^2-11}{y}

3) The total cost is a function of how many pounds of candy that I buy.
Ray Of Light [21]

Total cost               independent variable

Pounds of candy    dependent variable

Step-by-step explanation:

A variable is a condition that is liable to change. Most experimental hypothesis use variables to draw up suitable statements to test.

  • An independent variable is that variable that does not rely on another variable. It induces the change or variation in another variable. In the statement above, the total cost is the independent variable.
  • The other variable which is the effect resulting from the  variation of the independent variable is the dependent variable. Here it is the number of pounds of the candy that changes when total cost varies.
