Answer:

5832 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the circle has 8 sectors and there is 4 colour,

Assuming the sectors are numbered 1 to 8,

Sector 1 : can be coloured with any of the 4 colour in 4 ways

Sector 2 can be coloured with any of the remaining 3 colours in 3 ways

Sector 3 in 3 ways without using the colour in sector 2

Sector 4 in 3 ways without using the colour in sector 3

Sector 5 in 3 ways without using the colour in sector 4

Sector 6 in 3 ways without using the colour in sector 5

Sector 7 in 3 ways without using the colour in sector 6

Sector 8 in 2 ways without using the colours in sector 1 and 7

Number of ways of colouring = 4*3*3*3*3*3*3*2 = 5832 ways

BRAINLYYYY PLUS 100 PointsThe difference between two numbers is 84 and their sum is 278. What are the numbers? Hint( answer is x
den301095 [7]

Answer:

x = 181 and y = 97

Step-by-step explanation:

let called the first number is x

the second number would be called y

We are given that:

x + y = 278 (1)

x = y + 84 (2)

Let change x in (2) into (1):

y + 84 + y = 278

2y + 84 = 278

Subtract 84 from both side, we got:

2y + 84 - 84 = 278 - 84

2y + 0 = 194

Divide both side by 2, we got:

2y / 2 = 194 / 2

y = 97

Because y = 97 and x + y = 278 so x would equal:

x + 97 = 278

Subtract 97 from both side, we got:

x + 97 - 97 = 278 - 97

x + 0 = 181

x = 181 and y = 97

Hope this helped :3

For which function does f decrease by 15% every time x increases by 1
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

f(x) = 0.85^{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential function that decrease by 15% every time x increases by 1 is given by:

f(x) =  {(1 - 0.15)}^{x}

We simplify the parenthesis to get:

f(x) = 0.85^{x}

Therefore the decrease by 15% every time x increases by 1 is

f(x) =  {0.85}^{x}

The second choice is correct.
