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.

Answer:
<h2>4/3 Joules </h2>Step-by-step explanation:
Work is said to be done when force applied to an object causes the object to move through a distance.
Work done = Force * perpendicular distance.
Given Force F = xy i + (y-x) j and a straight line (-1, -2) to (1, 2)
First we need to get the equation of the straight line given.
Given the slope intercept form y = mx+c
m is the slope
c is the intercept
m = y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁
m = 2-(-2)/1-(-1)
m = 4/2
m = 2
To get the slope we will substtutte any f the point and the slope into the formula y = mx+c
Using the point (1,2)
2 = 2+c
c = 0
y = 2x
Substituting y = 2x into the value of the force F = xy i + (y-x) j we will have;
F = x(2x) i + (2x - x) j
Using the coordinate (1, 2) as the value of s
