Step-by-step explanation:

a) 7!

If there are no restrictions, answer is 7! as it is the permutation of all animals.

b) 4! x 3!

As cats are 6 and Dogs are 5, thus 1st and last must be cats in order to have alternate arrangements. Therefore the only choices are the order of the cats among  themselves and the order of the dogs among themselves. There are 4! permutations of the cats and 3! permutations of the dogs, so there are a total of 4! x 3! possible arrangements of the suites.

c) 3! x 5!

There are 3! possible arrangements of  the dogs among themselves. Now, if we consider the dogs as  one ”object” together, then we can think of arranging the 4 cats  together with this 1 additional object. There are 5! such arrangements possible, so there are a total of 3! · 5! possible arrangements of the suites.

d) 2 x 4! x 3!

As required that all the cats must be together and all the dogs must be together, either the cats are all  before the dogs or the dogs are all before the cats. There are two possible arrangements thus two times of both possibilities is the answer i.e.  2 x 4! x 3!

Burka [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of hours that that he spent washing cars.

Let y represent the number of hours that that he spent landscaping.

In a week, he can work no more than 19 total hours. This means that

x + y ≤ 19- - - - - - - - - - - -1

Jacob is working two summer jobs, making $10 per hour washing cars and making $8 per hour landscaping. He must earn at least $170. This means that

10x + 8y ≥ 170 - - - - - - - - - -2

If Jacob worked 4 hours landscaping, it means that

x + 4 ≤ 19

x ≤ 19 - 4

x ≤ 15

Also,

10x + 8 × 4 ≥ 170

10x + 32 ≥ 170

10x ≥ 170 - 32

10x ≥ 138

10x ≥ 138/10

x ≥ 13.8

The minimum number of hours is 14

Multiply.<br> (5x2-6x+2) x (4x2-3x)
stich3 [128]

Answer:

<em>18x² - 84x + 96</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

(5 × 2 - 6x + 2) × (4 × 2 - 3x)

5 × 2 (4 × 2 - 3x) - 6x(4 × 2 - 3x) + 2(4 × 2 - 3x)

80 - 30x - 6x(4 × 2 - 3x) + 2(4 × 2 - 3x)

80 - 30x - 48x + 18x² - 6x

96 - 84x + 18x²

18x² - 84x + 96

Hope this helps! :)
