The ways 1st - 3rd place are ordered matter, so we aren't finding the combination. We;re finding the permutation. This means we have 8 contestants taken 3 ways. The number of permutations of n objects taken r at a time is nPr = n! / (n - r)! N is 8 and 3 is R. Substitute the values.

8P3 = 8! / (8 - 3)! → 8! / 5! → 336

(You can also input this in a scientific calculator by pressing "8", then "nPr" then "3")

the answer is A.336

Explanation:

There are 8 choices for awarding first prize.Then there are 7 choices for awarding second prize.And there are 6 choices for awarding third prize.

Therefore, there are: 8 *7 *6 =336 ways.

What are the solutions of the inequality (x-3)(x+5)&lt;=0
GarryVolchara [31]

Assuming that the inequality you were going for was a ≤, set both polynomials less than or equal to 0.

x - 3 ≤ 0

x + 5 ≤ 0

For the first equation add 3 to both sides of the inequality. For the second, subtract 5 from both sides.

x ≤ 3

x ≤ - 5

These would be your solutions I guess, however, if you want to expand upon that, your actual answer is (- ∞, - 5] because if you were to plot these two inequalities on a number line, that is where the overlap would occur.

A set of equations is given below:
nexus9112 [7]

I would think this is many solutions, the reason is because, there is no specific answer (y) so, x could be anything because it would have to equal to y, which could also be anything! I hope im right! Sorry if im wrong!

Help me please, I don't really get this at all.
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

b.

Step-by-step explanation:

Seats to minutes = 2 to 11:

2/11 = s/m.

When  s = 16:

2/11 = 16/m

m = 11*16 / 2

= 176/2

= 88  minutes.

When s =  19:

2/11 = 19 / m

m = 11*19 / 2

m  = 209/2

= 104.5 minutes.
