How many ways can 5 people be arranged in a line?

Answer: 120 ways

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we're asked how many ways can 5 people be arranged in a line.

Let's start by drawing 5 blanks to represent the 5 different positions in the line.

Now, we know that 5 different people can fill the spot in the first position. However, once the first position is filled, only 4 people can fill the second spot and once the second spot is filled, only 3 people can fill the third spot and so on. So we have <u>5</u> <u>4</u> <u>3</u> <u>2</u> <u>1</u>.

Now, based on the counting principle, there are 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 ways for all 5 spots to be filled.

5 x 4 is 20, 20 x 3 is 60, 60 x 2 is 120, and 120 x 1 is 120.

So there are 120 ways for all 5 spots to be filled which means that there are 120 ways that 5 people can be arranged in a line.

I have also shown my work on the whiteboard in the image attached.

You are making several purchases from the b-better electronics store. You can buy from this store online or in a physical store.
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Online Ordering is better.

Step-by-step explanation:

So you now that you save 20% if you to physical store and you save $20 if you go to the online store.

Say you are spending 100 dollars at the store to make it easy. 20% of one hundred is $20 so that is the same amount of money.

Now let’s look at the taxes and shipping so at the physical store you have to pay taxes no matter what but online you only do it if you purchase is less than $75 and we have $80 ($100–$20=$80) so at the physical store you have some amount of Mandy that is more than $80 because of taxes but if you buy online it will be exactly $80.

Write an equation of the translation of y=3/x with asymptotes of x=7 and y= -5
Afina-wow [57]
The curve given has asymptotes at x=0 and y=0. We wish to move it right 7 units so the asymptote becomes x=7 and down 5 so the asymptote is y=-5

To move a function down 5 units subtract 5 from it. To move it right we subtract 7 from the independent variable (from the x). The new function is y=(3/(x-7))-5

y= (3 over (x-7)) then minus 5

Can somebody PLEASE help !!!

Answer:

Elissa needs 4 quarts of paint, or 1 gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Elissa's room is in the shape of a rectangular prism.  Assuming that she will only be painting the walls and not the floor or ceiling, you just need to calculate the area of the four walls - front and back and side to side.  Based on the dimensions given, the area of Elissa's front and back walls are 8 ft x 9 ft or 72 ft² for each wall.  Since there are two, we take that area times two: 72 x 2 = 144 ft².

Elissa's side walls are 8 ft x 13 ft or 104 ft² for each wall.  Since there are two, we take this area times two:  104 x 2 = 208 ft².

To find the total area needed to paint, we add all four walls:  144 + 208 = 352 ft².  Since a quart of paint covers 100 ft² and a gallon covers 400 ft², Elissa can either purchase 4 quarts of paint or 1 gallon to paint her bedroom.
