Answer:

The train can be made up in a total of \frac{8!}{5!2!} ways

Step-by-step explanation:

FIrst, lets assume that all cars are distinct. If that is the case, then, since we have a total of 8 cars, we have

- 8 possibilities for the first car

- 7 possibilities for the second car

- 6 possibilities for the third car

and so on.

So we have a total of 8! = 8*7*6*...*3*2*1 possibilities to make a train.

Now lets take into account that 5 of the cars are identical within each other. Then we could make a permutation of those 5 cars and we wouldnt notice. Hence, the order of the 5 cars of second-class doesnt matter and as a result, we should divide 8! by the total of possible permutations of the 5 second class cars, that it, 5!

We also need to divide the result by 2! = 2, because which first class car came first doesnt matter either. Therefore, the train can be made up in a total of \frac{8!}{5!2!} ways.

A designer wants to create a whisper chamber in the shape of an ellipse. He has a warehouse space with a longest length of 50 ya
Zanzabum

Answer:

22.9 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Since b² = a² - c² where a = vertex of major axis, 2a = 50 yards the length of the major axis. So , a = 50/2 = 25 yards. c = focus of chamber = 10 yards from center and b = vertex of minor axis.

So, b = ±√(a² - c²)

= ±√(25² - 10²)

= ±√(625 - 100)

= ±√525

= ±22.91 yards

≅ ± 22.9 yards

Since b = length of minor axis from center of chamber = 22.91 yards. So, he should build the whisper chamber 22.9 yards out from the center of the chamber.
