Answer: There are 863,040 possible ways

Step-by-step explanation: There are 32 members altogether in the club. So in order to elect a president from among all of them, if every one of them has a chance if being elected, there would be 32 possible chances for every single club member.

However, as long as one member has been elected as president, that leaves others with a 31 chance per person arrangement.

Therefore, all possible permutations of electing four officers from a club of 32 members can be expressed as

32! (Thirty two factorial) which can be simplified as

32 x 31 x 30 x 29 and that equals 863,040.

863,040 possible ways of electing four officers from a club of 32 members.

There is a language with 12 distinct letters. How many words that are less than four letters long can possibly be formed? (Assum

Answer:

1884

Step-by-step explanation:

1)If you hear the condition "less than four letters" it means that each word can consist of 3,2 or 1 letter. Firstly, consider the easiest situation with the word from one letter. There are 12 letters, so there are 12 words from one letter.

Then the words from two letters. The first letter of such a word can be chosen in 12 means(because 12 letters are available), then the second letter can be chosen in 12 means too. 12*12=144 words with 2 letters. (Multiplying, not adding, because each two words form one combination).

Then for the words from three letters, use the same rule, 12 means for the first letter, 12 means for the second letter, 12 means for the third letter. 12*12*12=1728 words.

Having particular words from 1,2,3 letters add them to get total quantity of words: 12+144+1728=1884words,that is the answer.

A) (6,0)

Since the points of R are found after x = 0 and x = 2, and found before x = 8, the value for x cannot start with those numbers so it would have to be either 4 or 6.

The rhombus is a square but more like a diamond shape with all equal sides. So if the difference between Q & T is (2,4), then you would have to go backwards by the same amount from (8,4)

So mathematically speaking...

(8,4) - (2,4) = (6,0)
