Answer: 66 possible combinations.

Step-by-step explanation:

To have a positive product we have 3 situations.

The 4 numbers are positive:

if the "order" of the selection does not matter, then we have only one solution here:

1, 2, 3 and 4.

Second case, we have two negative numbers and two positive numbers.

Here we can use the fact that in a group of N objects, the number of different combinations of K objects (where K ≤ N) is:

C = \frac{N!}{(N -K)!*K!}

Here we have 5 negative numbers and we want to make groups of 2, so the possible combinations are:

C = \frac{5!}{3!*2!} = \frac{5*4}{2*1} = 2*5 = 10

And we have exactly the same for the other two positive numbers, but in this case we have N = 4 and  K = 2.

C = \frac{4!}{2!*2!}  = 6

The total number of combinations is the product of those two:

C = 10*6 = 60 combinations

Now, the last option is that the 4 numbers are negative numbers, so here we have 5 negative numbers and we want to make groups of 4.

C = \frac{5!}{1!*4!} = 5

So in total, we have: 1 + 60 + 6 = 66 possible combinations.

Answer:

6\pi

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the circumference of a circle is:

C=2\pi r

We know that r is 8, so we can plug that into the formula.

However, there's a problem.  We only want 3pi/4 of the circumference, not the entire circle's circumference.  Therefore, we have to divide by part/whole.  In this case, the part is 3pi/4, and the whole is 2pi (the entire circle is 2pi radians).

C = (\frac{3\pi/4}{2\pi})*(2\pi *8)\\C = (\frac{3}{8})(16\pi)\\C = \frac{48\pi }{8} \\C = 6\pi

Please answer fast need it now like now now!!!!!<br> 10+x&lt;5
katrin [286]
Subtract 10 from both sides
10 + x < 5
10 - 10 + x < 5 - 10
x < -5
So the answer is x < -5, or x is less than -5. Any number less than -5 would be the solution. Hope this helps!
