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.

How to graph an exponential function
irina1246 [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential function is given by general form y=ab^x

Where a and b are constants.

say a=1 and b=2 then we can write function as :

y=1*2^x

or y=2^x

To graph this or any exponential function, we just need to find some points then join them by a curved line.

Like plug x=0, 1, 2,... into above function and find points:

plug x=1

y=2^x=2^1=2

Hence point is (1,2)

Find more points similarly then graph them to get the graph as shown below:
