A gardener has three flowering shrubs and four nonflowering shrubs, where all shrubs are distinguishable from one another. He mu

st plant these shrubs in a row using an alternating pattern, that is, a shrub must be of a different type from that on either side. How many ways can he plant these shrubs? If he has to plant these shrubs in a circle using the same pattern, how many ways can he plant this circle? Note that one nonflowering shrub will be left out at the end.

Answer:

Either way you can in 144 ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the statement we have 3 flowering shrubs and 3 flowerless shrubs.

We name them as follows:

S = flowering shrub

N = non flowering shrub

Now the only pattern in which these bushes can be arranged alternately  as follows:

N-S-N-S-N-S-N

Therefore, to calculate the number of forms it would be:

Number of shapes: 4 * 3 * 3 * 2 * 2 * 1 * 1 = 144

Which means there are 144 ways.

Now if we organize them in a circle in the same way

again it would be the same number of ways to organize them: 144 ways.

This is because the nun's last blooming shrub is left outside.

Write a linear equation that contains the ordered pair shown in the table below:
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

y=2x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of line is y=mx+b, where m is the slope of the line.

It passes through (-5,-14),(-2,-8)\ and\ (1,-2).

(<em>Slope of the line</em> joining (x_1,y_1)\ and\ (x_2,y_2)=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1})

Hence slope of the given line

m=\frac{-8(-14)}{-2-(-5)}=\frac{-8+14}{-2+5}=\frac{6}{3}=2

Equation of line is: y=2x+b

The line passes through (1,-2)

-2=2\times 1+b\\b=-2-2\\b=-4

Check if (-5,-14) is on the line y=2x-4

L.H.S.=-14\\R.H.S.=2\times (-5)-4=-10-4=-14\\L.H.S.=R.H.S.

Hence line passes through (5,-14).

Check if (-2,-8) is on the line y=2x-4

L.H.S.=-8\\R.H.S.=2\times (-2)-4=-4-4=-8\\L.H.S.=R.H.S.

Hence line passes through (-2,-8).

Reduce 720/1080 little cunfused
Veronika [31]
To reduce a fraction, divide the numerator and the denominator equally until they reach the simplest whole number possible. 

In this case, the numerator (720) and the denominator (1080) can both be divided by 360 to get 2/3, our reduced fraction.
