Answer:

<u><em></em></u>

  • <u><em>Event A: 1/35</em></u>
  • <u><em>Event B: 1/840</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

Explanation:

<u>Event A</u>

For the event A, the order of the first 4 acts does not matter.

The number of different four acts taken from a set of seven acts, when the order does not matter, is calculated using the concept of combinations.

Thus, the number of ways that the first <em>four acts</em> can be scheduled is:

          C(m,n)=\dfrac{m!}{n!(m-n)!}

         C(7,4)=\dfrac{7!}{4!(7-4)!}=\dfrac{7!}{4!(3)!}=35

And<em> the number of ways that four acts is the singer, the juggler, the guitarist, and the violinist, in any order</em>, is 1: C(4,4).

Therefore the<em> probability of Event A</em> is:

           P(A)=1/35

Event B

Now the order matters. The difference between combinations and permutations is ordering. When the order matters you need to use permutations.

The number of ways in which <em>four acts </em>can be scheculed when the order matters is:

           P(m,n)=\dfrac{m!}{(m-n)!}

         P(m,n)=\dfrac{7!}{(7-4)!}=P(m,n)=\dfrac{7!}{4!}=840

The number of ways <em>the comedian is first, the guitarist is second, the dancer is third, and the juggler is fourth</em> is 1: P(4,4)

Therefore, <em>the probability of Event B</em> is:

            P(B)=1/840

How do you simplify expressions with rational exponents
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify expression with rational exponents can look like a huge thing when you first see them with those fractions sitting up there in the exponent but let's remember our properties for dealing with exponents. We can apply those with fractions as well.

Examples

(a)   (p^4)^{\dfrac{3}{2}}

From above, we have a power to a power, so, we can think of multiplying the exponents.

i.e.

(p^{^ {\dfrac{4}{1}}})^{\dfrac{3}{2}}

(p^{^ {\dfrac{12}{2}}})

Let's recall that when we are dealing with exponents that are fractions, we can simplify them just like normal fractions.

SO;

(p^{^ {\dfrac{12}{2}}})

= (p^{ 6})

Let's take a look at another example

\Bigg (27x^{^\Big{6}} \Bigg) ^{{\dfrac{5}{3}}}

Here, we apply the \dfrac{5}{3} to both 27 and x^6

= \Bigg (27^{{\dfrac{5}{3}}} \times x^\Big{\dfrac{6}{1}\times {{\dfrac{5}{3}}} }\Bigg)

= \Bigg (27^{{\dfrac{5}{3}}} \times x^\Big{\dfrac{2}{1}\times {{\dfrac{5}{1}}} }\Bigg)

Let us recall that in the rational exponent, the denominator is the root and the numerator is the exponent of such a particular number.

∴

= \Bigg (\sqrt[3]{27}^{5} \times x^{10} }\Bigg)

= \Bigg (3^{5} \times x^{10} }\Bigg)

= 249x^{10}

The perimeter of a rectangle is 36m. If its length is increased by 1m and the width is increased by 2m, its area will increase b
maw [93]

Answer:

  80 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information lets you write two equations involving length (x) and width (y).

  • 2(x +y) = 36 . . . . the perimeter is 36 m
  • (x+1)(y+2) -xy = 30 . . . . increasing the length and width increases area

The second of these equations simplifies to another linear equation, giving a system of linear equations easily solved.

  xy +y +2x + 2 -xy = 30

  2x +y = 28 . . . . . . . subtract 2

Dividing the first equation by 2 gives

  x +y = 18

and subtracting this from the above equation gives ...

  (2x +y) -(x +y) = 28 -18

  x = 10

Then

  y = 18 -10 = 8

The area of the original rectangle is xy = 10·8 = 80 m^2.
