Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "LAMEFIREALARM" word consists of

2L , 2M, 2E , 2R , 3A , F and I

no of words with the above letters such that M's are not together

=Total No of words- M's are together

Total no of words=\frac{13!}{4\times 2!\times 3!}=64,864,800

When M's are together . considering 2 M's as one

therefore there are \frac{12!}{3\times 2!\times 3!}=9,979,200

No of ways=\frac{13!}{4\times 2!\times 3!}-\frac{12!}{3\times 2!\times 3!}=54,885,600

(b)No of ways such that M's are separated by at least 2 letters

at least  2 letter means 2 letter, 3 letter ......11 letters

So we have to subtract no of ways where there are 1 letter in between M's from total no of ways where 2 M's are not next to each other

No of ways in which there is 1 letter between 2 M's

This can be done by considering 11 cases

In first case Place first M in Starting Position and 2 M on third place

Second case place First M in 2 nd Position and second M on 4 th place

Similarly For 11th case

Place first M in 11th place and second M on 13th place

Total ways

=\frac{11\times 11!}{3!\times 2!\times 2!\times 2!}

So , the total number of arrangements of the letters of the word LAMEFIREALARM where the two M's are separated by atleast two letters is

=\frac{13!}{4\times 2!\times 3!}-\frac{12!}{3\times 2!\times 3!}-\frac{11\times 11!}{3!\times 2!\times 2!\times 2!}

=45738000

A pot of stew is placed on a stove to heat. The temperature of the liquid reaches 170°F, and then the pot is taken off the burne
belka [17]

Answer:

T =84.7\°F

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's cooling model is:

T(t) =T_0 + (T_i-T_0)e^{-kt}

Where

t is the time in hours

T_0 is the ambient temperature

T_i is the initial temperature of the body

k=0.34

We know that:

T_0=76\°F

T_i=170\°F

Then after 7 hours the temperature of the liquid will be:

T(7) =76 + (170-76)e^{-0.34(7)}

T =84.7\°F
