If I have a

iddle" class="latex-formula"> chess board, in how many ways can I place four distinct pawns on the board such that each column and row of the board contains no more than one pawn?
Mathematics

Answer:

576 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 choices for the column of pawn in the 1st row

There are 3 choices for the column of pawn in the 2nd row,

There are 2 choices for the column of pawn in the 3rd row, and

There is 1 choice for the column of the pawn in the 4th row

Which gives a total of 4! = 24

Also, the pawns are distinct, so there are 4! ways to place them in these chosen positions;

4! = 24

So, there are 24 * 24 possible ways

= 576 ways

For which value of b can the expression x2 + bx + 18 be factored?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answers:

  • b = -19
  • b = -11
  • b = -9
  • b = 19
  • b = 11
  • b = 9

====================================================

Explanation:

Here are all the ways to multiply to 18 when using integers only:

  • -1*(-18) = 18
  • -2*(-9) = 18
  • -3*(-6) = 18
  • 1*18 = 18
  • 2*9 = 18
  • 3*6 = 18

Sum each pair of factors to find out a possible value of b.

  • -1 + (-18) = -19
  • -2 + (-9) = -11
  • -3 + (-6) = -9
  • 1 + 18 = 19
  • 2 + 9 = 11
  • 3 + 6 = 9

Therefore, the possible values of b are

  • b = -19
  • b = -11
  • b = -9
  • b = 19
  • b = 11
  • b = 9

which are the final answers.

----------------------

An example:

Let's say b = 11. This would mean x^2+bx+18 becomes x^2+11x+18

It would factor to (x+2)(x+9) since it was stated earlier that:

2+9 = 11

2 * 9 = 18

You can use the FOIL rule, distributive property, or the box method to confirm that x^2+11x+18 = (x+2)(x+9) is a true equation for all real numbers x.

This same idea applies for the other values of b.

----------------------

If you're curious why this works, consider multiplying the two factors (x+p) and (x+q)

Use the FOIL rule to get (x+p)(x+q) = x^2+qx+px+pq = x^2+(p+q)x + pq

The middle term (p+q)x has the components add to the coefficient, while those same two components multiply to get the last term. This is why when factoring we're looking for two numbers that multiply to 18, and also add to the value of b (which in the case of the last example was 11).

Don’t really understand it someone help
stich3 [128]

Answer:

<em>n = 8 or n = −2</em> <em>is the correction solution.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

As the absolute value equation is given:                                      

                                            | n−3 | = 5

We know either n − 3 = 5 or n − 3 = −5

                                               n − 3 = 5            (First Possibility)

                                          n − 3 + 3 = 5 + 3

                                                       n = 8

                                                n − 3 = -5            (Second Possibility)

                                                      n = -5 + 3

                                                      n = -2

                  <em> So, n = 8 or n = −2</em> <em>is the correction solution.</em>

Help me on this math question
Korolek [52]

To evaluate an algebraic expression, you have to substitute a number for each variable and perform the arithmetic operations. In the example above, the variable x is equal to 6 since 6 + 6 = 12. If we know the value of our variables, we can replace the variables with their values and then evaluate the expression.
