Harry, Peter and 7 girls sit in a row. Harry can't sit in an end seat. In how many ways can they be arranged?

All possibilities = 9!
possibilities that harry sits at an end = 8! + 8!
possibilities that harry doesn't sit at an end = 9! - 8! -8!

List of all possibilities, without restrictions (ie Harry can sit in any of the 9 seats): $9!$
List of all possibilities where Harry sits on either end: $2 \cdot 8!$

Hence, list of all possibilities where Harry doesn't sit on either end: $9! - 2 \cdot 8! = 282,240$ ways.

Express the probability that a die wil land on a number less than 5 as a fraction

Rashid [163]

Answer:

$\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Values less than 5 on a die are 1, 2, 3, 4 ← 4 values out of a possible 6

P( < 5) = $\frac{4}{6}$ = $\frac{2}{3}$ in simplest form

Answer: c=5.4

The two roots are 3/5 and 9/5

Step-by-step explanation:

assume 5x2−12x c=0 is supposed to be 5x^2 - 12x + c = 0

p = (12 + sqrt(144-20c))/10

q = (12 - sqrt(144-20c))/10

p-3q=0,

1.2 + 0.1sqrt(144-20c) +

-3.6 + 0.3sqrt(144-20c) = 0

-2.4 + 0.4sqrt(144-20c) +2.4 = 2.4

sqrt(144-20c) = 2.4/0.4 = 6

144-20c=36

144-36=20c

c = 108/20 = 5.4

5x^2-12x+5.4=0

x = 3/5 or x = 9/5
