In how many different ways can a president vice-president and secretary be elected from a class of 15 students

1 answer:

4 0

Answer: 2730

---------------------------------------------------------

Explanation:

A shortcut way is to start at 15 and count down til you reach three values. So that means you'll have 15, 14, 13 which multiplies out to...

15*14*13 = 2730

Or you can use the nPr formula, with n = 15 and r = 2, to get the same answer

nPr = (n!)/((n-r)!)
15P3 = (15!)/((15-3)!)
15P3 = (15!)/(12!)
15P3 = (15*14*13*12!)/(12!)
15P3 = 15*14*13
15P3 = 2730

What is y=-10x's constant of proportionality and how would describe a graph's constant rate of change.

Fantom [35]

Okay, so here, we know that -10 is the slope, therefore, it is also the constant of proportionality.

'x' is the unknown value, that tells us to multiply by -10.

So, on a graph, we would consider that per unit, it would decrease by -10, since its a negative slope.

Hope I helped, if you have further questions or concerns, feel free to PM me. Thanks! :D
