Answer: Permutation is involved , since order of prizes matters.

The number of different ways the prizes can be​ awarded =95060

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Total number of people purchase lottery tickets =100

The number of prizes = 3

Since each prize can be claimed by only one person.

So order matters here, there for we use permutations .

The number of permutations of n objects taken m at a time is given by :-

^nP_m=\dfrac{n!}{(n-m)!}

Then, the number of different ways the prizes can be​ awarded :-

^{100}P_{3}=\dfrac{100!}{(100-3)!}=\dfrac{100!}{97!}\\\\=100\times98\times97=950600

Given the two points what is the slope of the line?<br> (4,2) (10.4)
zlopas [31]

m = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}\\ m=\frac{4-2}{10-4} \\m = \frac{2}{6} \\\\m=\frac{1}{3}

Therefore, the slope of the line is 1/3. In case if you want the equation too.

y=mx+b\\y=\frac{1}{3}x+b\\ 2=\frac{1}{3}(4)+b\\ 2=\frac{4}{3}+b\\ b=-\frac{4}{3}+2\\ b=-\frac{4}{3} +\frac{6}{3}\\ b=\frac{2}{3}

Therefore, the equation is y=1/3x+2/3

Graph the solution of the inequality: 3/7 (35x-14) ≤ 21x/2 + 3
hammer [34]
Hello there!

In order to graph the solution, we need to solve it first.

So let's start....

3/7(35x - 14) ≤ 21x/2 + 3

15x -6 ≤ 21x/2 + 3

15x - 21x/2 ≤ 3 + 6

9x/2 ≤ 9

x ≤ 9* 2/9

x ≤ 18/9

x ≤ 2

See the picture for the graph

Please let me know if you have questions about the answer.

Thanks!
