Evaluate. Express your answer in exact simplest form.

kumpel [21]

Answer:

6720

Step-by-step explanation:

The writing 8P5 represents the number of permutations of 8 elements taken 5 at a time.

First Method :

8P5 = 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4

= 6720

Second Method :

$8P5=\frac{8!}{\left( 8-5\right)!}$

$=\frac{8!}{ 3!}$

$=\frac{8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3!}{ 3!}$

$= 8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4$

$= 6720$

Find the quotient and any excluded values. (x + 5/x^2 + 9x + 20)/(x^2-16/x-4)

Wittaler [7]

By (x + 5/x^2 + 9x + 20) you apparently meant the following:

x+5
----------------------
x^2 + 9x + 20

and by

(x^2-16/x-4)
x^2-16
you apparently meant ---------------
x - 4

Please use additional parentheses for clarity.

Dividing,

 x+5 (x-4)(x+4)
---------------------- * ---------------
x^2 + 9x + 20 x-4

Now, x^2 + 9x + 20 factors into (x+4)(x+5), so what we have now is

(x+5)(x+4)
------------------------- = 1 This is true for all x, so there are no exclusions.
(x+4)(x+5)

Emma has a board 5 feet long and cuts it into 6 equal pieces how long in feet is eacgpeace if the board in a fraction

il63 [147K]

Answer:

Imagine an easier version of this problem: You have a board 5 feet long that you must cut (divide, right?) into two equal parts. It is probably clear to you that you simply divide the length (5) by the number of parts you're dividing it into (2) to obtain the length of each piece (2.5 feet).

Use the same method for your problem 5 feet divided by 6 is 0.83 feet per piece.

We do not ordinarily divide feet into decimal portions, but instead into inches. Since an inch is 1/12 of a foot, you could simply say 5/6 = how many twelfths? or 5/6 = n/12 Solve this by inspection or by cross multiplying 5 times 12 equals n times 6. So n must equal 10, and your pieces of board are each 10 inches long.
