How many different seven-letter sequences can be formed from the letters a, a, a, a, a, b, c?

Mathematics

Kaylis [27]3 years ago
4 0

If b is in the first position then c can be in any 1 of the remaining 6 positions.

If we start with ab then the letter c can be in any one of 5 positions and  if we have aab there are 4 possible positions for c and so on.

So the total number of possible sequences where b comes first = 6+5+4+3+2+1 =  21.

The same argument applies when c comes before b  so that gives us 21 ways also.

So the answer is 2 *21 = 42 different sequences.

A more direct way of doing  this  is to use factorials:-

answer = 7! / 5!     =  7 * 6 = 42.

 ( We divide by 5!   because of the 5 a's.)

Which graph corresponds with the equation <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%28x%29%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%20%7D%20%28x%2B1%29%5E

\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}

The given equation is a Quadratic equation, so it's graph must be a parabola, and the Coefficient of x² is positive that means the parabola must have an opening upward.

And 2 is added to the ideal equation, so the parabola must have shift 2 units up from x - axis.

From the above information, we can easily conclude that the Correct representation is done in graph 4

A rectangle with sides measuring x in. and 4x-1 in. has an area of 663in.^2. What are the dimensions of the rectangle?
serious [3.7K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  13 in by 51 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The area is the product of the dimensions, so is ...

  663 = x(4x -1)

  4x^2 -x -663 = 0 . . . . . . subtract 663 to put in standard form

Using the quadratic formula, we can find the solutions.

  x = (-(-1) ±√((-1)^2 -4(4)(-663)))/(2(4))

  x = (1 ± √10609)/8 = (1 ±103)/8

Only the positive solution is of any use in this problem, so ...

  x = 104/8 = 13

  4x-1 = 4(13)-1 = 51

The dimensions of the rectangle are 13 inches by 51 inches.

I find it easiest to solve these using a graphing calculator.
