The first book you select can be any one of 700.

. . . For each of those ...

The second book can be any one of the other 699.

. . . For each of those ...

The third book can be any one of the remining 698.

The total number of ways to gather three books from the shelves into your hands is  (700 · 699 · 698)  =  <em>341,531,400 ways</em> .

<em>BUT ...</em>

When you bring three books to the check-out counter, Marian the Librarian doesn't know in which order you took them down off the shelves.  You could have gathered the same three books in (3 · 2 · 1) = 6 different ways.

So, even though there are 341,531,400 ways to<em> </em>gather up three books, there are only (341,531,400 / 6) = 56,921,900 different GROUPS of three books that you can choose to take home.

The value of x and y in both equations
Vlada [557]
There is no solution to this set that works for both equations. If you multiply the top equation by 2 and then add them together, the x and y numbers will cancel. This leaves you with 0 =1010, which is never true.

Write an equation of the line that passes through each point with the given slope, (3,5) and m=2.
icang [17]

Answer:

The point slope formula states (y-y1)=m(x-x1)

Where m is the slope and (x1 y1) is a point the line passes through

Substituting the point and slope from the problem give

(y-5)=-2(x-3) ~answer

state whether the following statement is true or false: y= -x2 + 6x - 10 does not intersect the x-axis.​
oee [108]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to check if the given equation does not intersect the x-axis

if it does not, then it has no real root

If the discriminant is less than zero, then it has no real roots and does not intersect the x-axis

The formula for the discriminant is;

D = b^2-4ac

In the question;

a = -1 , b = 6 , c = 10

so;

D = 6^2-4(-1)(10)

D = 36-40

D = -4

Since discriminant is less than zero, then there is no real root and the graph does not cross the x-axis

Graph the following inequality. Then click to show the correct graph. x &lt; -1
docker41 [41]

Answer:

The graph in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

x < -1

The solution is the interval ----> (-∞,-1)

All real numbers less than -1

On a number line the solution is the shaded area at the left of x=-1 (open circle)

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure
