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

What is the maximum number of relative extrema contained in the graph of this function f(x)=3x^3-x^2+4x-2
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
The maximum number of turning points in a cubic function is 2.

In this case,

f(x)=3x^3-x^2+4x-2\implies f'(x)=9x^2-2x+4

The discriminant is (-2)^2-4(9)(4)=-140, which means the derivative has no real roots. This means there are no critical points and thus no turning points/relative extrema.

The domain of g(x) = 4x –12 is {2, 3, 6, 8}. What is the range
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Range - {-4,0,12,20}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The function is :

g(x) = 4x –12

The domain of the function is {2, 3, 6, 8}.

g(2) = 4(2) –12 = -4

g(3) = 4(3) –12 = 0

g(6) = 4(6) –12 = 12

g(8) =  4(8) –12 = 20

Hence, the range of the function is {-4,0,12,20}.
