This is a permutation question because we care about the order.
We can demonstrate this by letting each person be a person in the pie eating contest.
A B C D E F G H I J K
_ _ _
Now, there are 11 ways for the first prize to be won, since there are no restrictions upheld. Let's say A wins the first prize.
B C D E F G H I J K
A _ _
Now, assuming prizes aren't shared, there are only ten people left to win the second prize.
Using this logic, then we can say that nine can win the third prize.
Thus, our answer is 11 · 10 · 9 = 990 ways.
However, this method works for this question.
What happens when the number of places we want gets significantly larger?
That's when we introduce the permutation formula.
We know that 11·10·9·8·7·6·5·4·3·2·1 = 11!, but we don't want 8! of them.
This is the formula for permutation.
Answer:
24
/5
Step-by-step explanation:
The way I think about areas of sectors is a fraction of the pie. You know what percentage of the "pie" (in this case, circle) you want, because they give you the angle of the sector and you know a circle always has 360°. So technically, you're trying to find 48/360 th of the entire area (36
). If you're using a calculator, it doesn't matter if you simplify the fraction, but if you're doing it by hand simplifying makes everything a lot easier.
The equation will be:
Area = 24/180 × 36
= 2/15 × 36
= 72
/15
= 24
/5
I hope this helped! Also, in Khan Academy, when you get an answer wrong/right, you can view their explanation by clicking "hint" or sometimes "see how we did it" shows up.
Answer:
Three multiplied by X equals 42.
Also, not sure if you need this, but, X=14

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Domain is the set of all values of x where the function is defined. For this function the only limitation upon x exists when the denominator would equal zero, because division by zero is undefined. So the denominator 13-x cannot equal zero thus x cannot equal 13. Thus the domain is all real numbers except 13.
