3 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a permutation problem.  There are 5 swimmers in the race, and any combination of 3 will finish in the first 3 places.  The formula will look like this:

₅P₃ = \frac{5!}{(5-3)!}  which will expand to

₅P₃ = \frac{5*4*3*2*1}{2*1}  and when the 2 * 1 cancels out between the numerator and the denominator, you're left with simply:

₅P₃ = 5 * 4 * 3

which is 60

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

<h3>3.3</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between AB is expressed as;

AB = √(3-0)²+(4-0)²

AB = √3²+4²

AB =√9+16

AB = √25

AB = 5

2 over 3 the distance from A to B is expressed as;

2/3 of AB

= 2/3 * 5

=10/3

= 3.3

Could someone please help me with this question? 15 points.

1a) f(x) = I x+2 I. This is a piece-wise graph ( V form)
      x = 0 →f(x) =2 (intercept y-axis)
      x = -2→f(x) = 0 (intercept x-axis)
      x = -3→f(x) = 1 (don't forget this is in absolute numbers)
      x = -4→f(x) = 2 (don't forget this is in absolute numbers)
Now you can graph the V graph

1b) Translation: x to shift (-3) units and y remains the same, then
      f(x-3) = I x - 3 + 2 I = I x-1 I
     the V graph will shift one unit to the right, keeping the same y. Proof:
     f(x) = I x-1 I . Intercept x-axis when I x-1 I = 0, so x= 1
