a. If any letters and numbers are allowed, there will be

... 26×26×26×10×10×10 = 260³ = 17,576,000 possible plates

b. If the letters and numbers cannot repeat, there will be

... 26×25×24×10×9×8 = 11,232,000 possible plates with no repeats

c. The proabaility that a randomly chosen plate has no repeats is

... 11,232,000/17,576,000 = 108/169 ≈ 0,63905

_____

When no repeats are allowed, the first letter choice can be any of the 26 letters. The second letter choice must exclude the first letter, so there are only 25 different letters to choose from. Likewise, the third letter choice cannot be either of the first two, so there are only 24 letters to choose from. The reasoning applies to numbers in similar fashion.

Which table represents a function? A 2-column table with 4 rows. The first column is labeled x with entries negative 3, 0, negat

tangare [24]

Answer:

This is a many-to-one function as the value of y = -1 corresponds to two values of x:

$\begin{array}{|c|c|}\cline{1-2} x & y\\\cline{1-2} -3 & -1\\\cline{1-2} 0 & 0\\\cline{1-2} -2 & -1\\\cline{1-2} 8 & 1\\\cline{1-2}\end{array}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Function

A special relationship where each input (x-value) has a single output (y-value).

A function is one-to-one if each value in the range (y-values) corresponds to exactly one value in the domain (x-values).

A function is many-to-one if some values in the range (y-values) correspond to more than one (many) value in the domain (x-values).

This is a many-to-one function as the value of y = -1 corresponds to two values of x:

$\begin{array}{|c|c|}\cline{1-2} x & y\\\cline{1-2} -3 & -1\\\cline{1-2} 0 & 0\\\cline{1-2} -2 & -1\\\cline{1-2} 8 & 1\\\cline{1-2}\end{array}$

This is not a function as the value of x = -5 corresponds to two values of y:

$\begin{array}{|c|c|}\cline{1-2} x & y\\\cline{1-2} -5 & -5\\\cline{1-2} 0 & 0\\\cline{1-2} -5 & 5\\\cline{1-2} 6 & -6\\\cline{1-2}\end{array}$

This is not a function as the value of x = -2 corresponds to two values of y:

$\begin{array}{|c|c|}\cline{1-2} x & y\\\cline{1-2} -4 & 8\\\cline{1-2} -2 & 2\\\cline{1-2} -2 & 4\\\cline{1-2} 0 & 2\\\cline{1-2}\end{array}$

This is not a function as the value of x = -4 corresponds to two values of y:

$\begin{array}{|c|c|}\cline{1-2} x & y\\\cline{1-2} -4 & 2\\\cline{1-2} 3 & 5\\\cline{1-2} 1 & 3\\\cline{1-2} -4 & 0\\\cline{1-2}\end{array}$

Carson buys 4 pounds of peaches for $12. How much did he spend per pound?

Inessa [10]

Answer: $3 per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Carson buys 4 pounds of peaches for $12, you can find the value of one pound by dividing 4 by 4. You must also divide the 12 by 4. In conclusion, you pay $3 per pound.
