20/500
0.04 of a chance
because 1 chapter has 20 pages and the book has 500
so the chance of you flipping to chapter 12 out of 500 pages is 4% of a chance

0/1 For positive integer n, n? = n! · (n − 1)! · … · 1! And n# = n? · (n − 1)? · … · 1?. What is the value of 4# · 3# · 2# · 1#?
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

331776

Step-by-step explanation:

Since n? = n! · (n − 1)! · … · 1! And n# = n? · (n − 1)? · … · 1?

Then 4# = 4? · (4 − 1)? · (4 − 2)?· 1?

= 4? · 3? · 2?· 1?

Now, n? = n! · (n − 1)! · … · 1!

So, 4? = 4! · (4 − 1)! · (4 − 2)! · 1! = 4! · 3! · 2! · 1! = 288

Thus, 3? = 3! · (3 − 1)! · 1! = 3! · 2! · 1! = 12

Also, 2? = 2! · (2 − 1)! · 1! = 2! · 1! · 1! = 2

and 1? = 1! · (1 − 1)! · 1! = 1! · 0! · 1! = 1

So, 4# = 4? · 3? · 2?· 1? = 288 × 12 × 2 × 1 = 6912

We now find 3#

3# = 3? · (3 − 1)? · 1? = 3? · 2?· 1?

Now, n? = n! · (n − 1)! · … · 1!

So, 3? = 3! · (3 − 1)! · 1! = 3! · 2! · 1! = 12

Thus, 2? = 2! · (2 − 1)! · 1! = 2! · 1! · 1! = 2

and, 1? = 1! · (1 − 1)! · 1! = 1! · 0! · 1! = 1

So, 3# = 3? · 2?· 1? = 12 × 2 × 1 = 24

We now find 2#

2# = 2? · (2 − 1)? · 1? = 2? · 1?· 1?

Now, n? = n! · (n − 1)! · … · 1!

So, 2? = 2! · (2 − 1)! · 1! = 2! · 1! · 1! = 2

1? = 1! · (1 − 1)! · 1! = 1! · 0! · 1! = 1

So, 2# = 2?· 1? = 2 × 1 = 2

We now find 1#

1# = 1? · 1? = 1? · 1?

Now, n? = n! · (n − 1)! · … · 1!

So, 1? = 1! · (1 − 1)! · 1! = 1! · 0! · 1! = 1

And, 1# = 1? · 1? = 1 × 1 = 1

So,  4# · 3# · 2# · 1#? =  6912 · 24 · 2 · 1? = 331776

Sally made a box to hold her jewlery collection. She used 42 inches of wood to build the sides of the box. If the box is 9 inche
Juliette [100K]
The length is 12, because if it's 9 inches wide it has two sides of 9 inches which is 18. Then subtract that from the intial value 42 to get 24. After, you divide 24 by 2 due to there being 2 sides of the box and 24 is the sum of both sides. Hopethis helps!

An investment broker puts 1/12 of his paycheck into a retirement account every quarter? How much of his $84,000 salary is put in
posledela

Answer:

<u>$7000</u> of his salary is put into this account each quarter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

An investment broker puts 1/12 of his paycheck into a retirement account every quarter.

His salary is $84,000.

Now, to find how much is put into this account each quarter.

As given salary = $84,000.

So, amount to put into this account every quarter =

\frac{1}{12} of\ \$84,000.

=\frac{1}{12} \times 84000

=\frac{84000}{12}

=\$7000.

Therefore, $7000 of his salary is put into this account each quarter.

Given the Arithmetic series A 1 + A 2 + A 3 + A 4 A1+A2+A3+A4 14 + 18 + 22 + 26 + . . . + 86 What is the value of sum?
postnew [5]

Answer:

950

Step-by-step explanation:

The common difference is 4, so the general term can be written:

... an = 14 + 4(n -1)

The value of n for the last term is ...

... 86 = 14 + 4(n -1) . . . . . the computation for the last term, 86

... 72 = 4(n -1) . . . . . . . . . subtract 14

... 18 = n -1 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

... 19 = n . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 1

Your series has 19 terms. The first term is 14 and the last is 86, so the average term is (14+86)/2 = 50. Since there are 19 terms, the sum of them is ...

... 19×50 = 950
