Answer:

504 different ways

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 9 people competing

9 Different people can come in 1st

We have a winner

Now there are only 8 people left to come in second

8 different people can come in 2nd

There is 1 second place winner

Now there are only 7 people left to come in second

7 different people can come in 3rd

9*8*7 =504

There are 504 different ways

Sarah started 3 miles below the rim of the canyon and hiked until she was 8 miles above the rim. Her brother Sam said she hiked

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can assume that the rim of the canyon is 0. Sarah started 3 miles below, so -3, BUT distance can never be negative, so it's considered 3 miles. Then, she went 8 miles above zero. So the 3 miles she went before reaching the rim plus the 8 miles she went after reaching the rim equals 11 miles.

So now we know that Sarah is right, but how do we know which equation is correct? Well, if we look at option C:

$|-3+8|=11$

When solving absolute value, we solve everything within the absolute value before applying the absolute value. This means that we add -3+8 first, which equals 5, and then apply absolute value, which still equals 5. This equation is not correct.

I hope this helps!

For each of the described curves, decide if the curve would be more easily given by a polar equation or a Cartesian equation. Th

Reptile [31]

Answer:

(a) (x-2)^2 +(y-2)^2 = 16

(b) r = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) When the circle is offset from the origin, the equation for the radius gets messy. In general, it will be the root of a quadratic equation in sine and cosine, not easily simplified. The Cartesian equation is easier to write.

Circle centered at (h, k) with radius r:

(x -h)^2 +(y -k)^2 = r^2

The given circle is ...

(x -2)^2 +(y -2)^2 = 16

(b) When the circle is centered at the origin, the radius is a constant. The desired circle is most easily written in polar coordinates:

r = 2
