The 3rd book can be any one of the remaining 3.
For each of those . . .
The 4th book can be either of the remaining 2.
For each of those . . .
The 5th book is the last one remaining.
Total number of ways to arrange the 5 books is
(5 · 4 · 3 · 2 · 1) = 120 .
Cross off alphabetically ascending (1 way), and alphabetically
descending (1 way), and you're left with (120 - 2) = 118 ways.

Here, we want to solve an expansion
To get this, we simply multiply the terms in the first bracket with the terms in the second, before we proceed to collect like terms
We have this as follows;
Answer:
y = 3x + 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope = 6/2 = 3
y-intercept = 7.
Answer: sqrt(650)
Step-by-step explanation:
sin 45 = 5sqrt(13)/y
y = 5sqrt(13)*2/sqrt(2) = 10sqrt(13)/sqrt(2) = sqrt(650)
