Answer:

1,404,000 serial numbers can be made

Step-by-step explanation:

For the five digit serial numbers, since all letters and all numbers could be used, then we can use 26 letters (A,B,C,...Z) and 10 numbers (0,1,2,...9).

Now, say the letters and numbers are to occupy the labeled spaces below

_  _  _  _  _

1   2  3  4  5

(NOTE: Spaces 1,2,3 are to be occupied by any of the 26 letter while spaces 4 and 5 are to be occupied by any of the 10 numbers)

For space 1, there are 26 possibilities

For space 2, there will be (26 -1 ) 25 possibilities (since repetition of characters is NOT allowed)

For space 3, there will be (26-2) 24 possibilities (since repetition of characters is NOT allowed)

For space 4, we have 10 possibilities

and for space 5, we (10-1) 9 possibilities (since repetition of characters is NOT allowed)

Therefore, the number of serial numbers that can be made is

26 × 25 × 24 × 10 × 9 = 1404000

Hence, 1,404,000 serial numbers can be made

OR

Using permutation, nPr = n!/(n-r)!

For the letters,

n is the total number; n = 26

and r is the number of available spaces, r = 3

For the numbers,

n = 10

r = 2

Then, we get

26P3 × 10P2

26!/(26-3)! × 10!/(10-2)!

26!/23! × 10!/8!

15600 × 90 = 1404000

The radius of a sphere is multiplied by 1/7. What effect does this have on the volume of the sphere?
Cloud [144]

Answer:

The new volume is 1/343 of the old volume or the ratio of the new volume to the old volume is 1 to 343

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to state the effect of multiplying the radius of a sphere by 1/7 on the volume.

Mathematically, the volume of a sphere V can be calculated using the formula

V = 4/3 * π * r^3

Now multiplying the radius by 1/7, the new radius will be r/7

Thus the new volume here will be

V2 = 4/3 * π * (r/7)^3

V2 = 4/3 * π * (r^3)/343

Thus we can conclude that the value of the volume will be decreased by a factor of 343

Meaning the ratio of the old volume to the new volume will be 1 to 343

How do you rewrite this problem in slope-intercept form
Sergio039 [100]

Solution

-6x - 3y = 9              Add 6x to both sides

-6x + 6x - 3y = 9 + 6x

-3y = 9 + 6x             Or more conventionally

-3y = 6x + 9             Divide by - 3

y = 6x/-3 + 9/-3

y = - 2x - 3
