Answer: 0.1714 miles / hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Distance to the store = 3 miles

Time taken to get to store = 12 hours

Time taken to return = 23 hours

The average rate of speed for the trip =?

Average Speed = total distance traveled / total time taken

Total distance traveled = 2 × 3 miles = 6 miles

Total time taken = 12 + 23 = 35 hours

Average speed = 6 miles / 35 hours

Average speed = 0.1714 miles / hour

What is Permutations and Combinations?
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Permutation is to select an object then arrange it and it cares about the orders while Combination is about only selecting an object without caring the orders.

Permutation can be expressed in math as:

\displaystyle{_n P _r = \dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!} \ \ \ (n \geq r) }

where n is a number of total object and r is a number of selected object to arrange. Hence. n cannot be less than r.

Now let's see an example of permutation, suppose we have letter A, B and C. I'd like to know how many ways these words can be arranged:

Since there are 3 letters total and 3 selected letters to arrange then:

\displaystyle{_3 P _3 = \dfrac{3!}{(3-3)!}}\\\\\displaystyle{_3 P _3 = \dfrac{3 \times 2 \times 1}{0!}}\\\\\displaystyle{_3 P _3 = \dfrac{6}{1}}\\\\\displaystyle{_3 P _3 = 6}

Therefore, there are 6 ways to arrange the letters - we can also demonstrate visually:

ABC - 1

ACB - 2

BAC - 3

BCA - 4

CAB - 5

CBA - 6

Notice that if you do visually, you'll get the same answer as the calculation of permutation!

----

Combination can be expressed mathematically as:

\displaystyle{_n C _r = \dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!r!} = \dfrac{_n P _r}{r!} \ \ \ (n \geq r) }

The difference between permutation and combination is that you only find how many ways you can select object in combination. Therefore, no arrange and doesn't care about order, just ways to select.

Suppose we have same 3 letters: A, B and C. I want to find how many ways I can select these 3 letters:

Since there are 3 letters total and 3 selected letters:

\displaystyle{_3 C _3 = \dfrac{3!}{(3-3)!3!}}\\\\\displaystyle{_3 C _3 = \dfrac{3!}{0!3!}}\\\\\displaystyle{_3 C _3 = \dfrac{3!}{3!}}\\\\\displaystyle{_3 C _3 = 1}

Hence, there is only one way to select 3 letters. This makes sense because if you have 3 letters then you can only select 3 letters only one way.

A card is picked at random from the following set. ​ ​What is P(9) ? Write your answer as a percentage in the box given below.
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

The (not mentioned in the question) set is: 6 7 8 9.

There are 4 total outcomes and only 1 favorable outcome, then the probability to pick a 9 is:

P(9) = favorable outcome/total outcomes

P(9) = 1/4 = 0.25 or 0.25*100 = 25%

The sum of two trinomials is 7x2 - 5x + 4. if one of the trinomials is 3x2 + 2x - 1, then what is the other trinomial?
Margarita [4]

Answer:

  b.  4x^2 -7x +5

Step-by-step explanation:

When you know a sum and one of its contributors, you can find the other by subtraction. The other trinomial is ...

  (7x^2 -5x +4) - (3x^2 +2x -1)

  = (7 -3)x^2 +(-5 -2)x +(4 -(-1))

  = 4x^2 -7x +5 . . . . . matches B
