We have been given in a cohort of 35 graduating students, there are three different prizes to be awarded. We are asked that in how many different ways could the prizes be awarded, if no student can receive more than one prize.

To solve this problem we will use permutations.

_{r}^{n}\textrm{P}={_{3}^{35}\textrm{P}}

We know that formula for permutations is given as

_{r}^{n}\textrm{P}=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}

On substituting the given values in the formula we get,

{_{3}^{35}\textrm{P}}=\frac{35!}{(35-3)!}=\frac{35!}{32!}

=\frac{35\cdot 34\cdot 33\cdot 32!}{32!}\\
\\
=35\cdot 34\cdot 33=39270

Therefore, there are 39270 ways in which prizes can be awarded.

If f(x)=x^3−x, what is the average rate of change of f(x) over the interval [1, 5]? a)29.5 b)30 c)43 d)120
avanturin [10]
\bf slope = m = \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{ f(x_2) - f(x_1)}{ x_2 - x_1}\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
average~rate\\
of~change
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
f(x)= x^3-x  \qquad 
\begin{cases}
x_1=1\\
x_2=5
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{f(5)-f(1)}{5-1}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{[5^3-5]~-~[1^3-1]}{4}\implies \cfrac{125-5~~-~~0}{4}\implies \cfrac{120}{4}\implies 30

nata0808 [166]
For a vertical projectile, the equation of motion is expressed h(t)=g+bt+c, where g is gravity, b is the initial upward velocity, and c is the starting height. The maxima of this equation is given by -b/2g, which in this case would be -56/-32, or 1.75 seconds after launch
