How do you determine when a counting problem involves a permutation or a combination?

1 answer:

6 0

The difference between combinations and permutations is ordering. With permutations we care about the order of the elements, whereas with combinations we don't. For example, say your locker “combo” is 5432. If you enter 4325 into your locker it won't open because it is a different ordering (aka permutation).

Given the function f(x) = 4(x + 1)^2 – 3, indicate the shifts that will affect the location of the vertex, and explain what effe

solniwko [45]

He first two are relatively easy. f(x-2) shifts it sideways (2 to the right in this case) f(x) -2 shifts it straight down (by 2)
f(2x) means replace x with 2x in the original 4(2x + 1)^2 − 3 if you factor out the 2 from the square root you get 4*sqr(2) ( x + ½)^2 - 3 which is now in the form a ( x -h)^2 + k the vertex is now at (-½, -3) (it used to be at (-1,-3) the "a" has gotten bigger, which makes the parabola "skinnier" (it goes up faster)
2•f(x) becomes 2*( 4(x + 1)2 − 3 ) = 8 (x+1)^2 -6 where is the vertex now? is this parabola fatter or skinnier than the original f(x) ?

Mrs. Martini is 6 years more than 3 times as old as Tony. Eight years ago, she

zalisa [80]

Mrs Martini age is 42 years and Tony age is 12 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

Mrs. Martini is 6 years more than 3 times as old as Tony
Eight years ago, she was 2 years less than 9 times as old as he was then

Assume that Tony is x years old now

∵ Mrs. Martini is 6 years more than 3 times as old as Tony

∵ Tony is x years old

- Multiply the age of Tony by 3 and add 6 to the product

∴ The age of Mrs Martini = 3 x + 6

8 years ago

- Subtract 8 from the age of each one

Tony age = (x - 8)

Mrs Martini age = (3 x + 6) - 8 = 3 x + 6 - 8 = 3 x - 2

∵ Eight years ago, Mrs Martini was 2 years less than 9 times as old

as Tony was then

- Multiply Tony age by 9 and subtract 2 from the product

∵ Tony age from 8 years ago = x - 8

∵ Mrs Martini age from 8 years ago = 3 x - 2

∴ 9(x - 8) - 2 = 3 x - 2

- Simplify the left hand side

∴ 9 x - 72 - 2 = 3 x - 2

- Add like terms

∴ 9 x - 74 = 3 x - 2

- Subtract 3 x from both sides

∴ 6 x - 74 = -2

- Add 74 to both sides

∴ 6 x = 72

- Divide both sides by 6

∴ x = 12

∵ x represents the age of Tony

∴ Tony is 12 years old

∴ 3 x + 6 is the age of Mrs Martini

- Substitute x by 12

∵ 3(12) + 6 = 36 + 6 = 42

∴ Mrs Martini is 42 years old

Mrs Martini age is 42 years and Tony age is 12 years
