Answer:

(a) 10,626 different arrangements

(b) 95,367,431,640,625 different arrangements

(c) 2.5852017 × 10²² different arrangements

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) How many different arrangements are there if you only care about the number of books on the shelves (and not which book is where)?

We use the combination formula for this

C(n , r) = n + r - 1C r - 1

n = 20

r = 5

= 20 + 5 - 1 C 5-1

= 24C4

= 24!/4 ! × (24 - 4)

= 24!/4! × 20!

= 10,626 arrangements

(b) How many different arrangements are there if you care about which books are where, but the order of the books on the shelves doesn't matter?

Since the order of the books on the shelves does not matter,

The calculation is given as

5²⁰ = 95,367,431,640,625 arrangements

(c) How many different arrangements are there if the order on the shelves does matter?

Since order matters now

Step 1

We use the combination formula for this

C(n , r) = n + r - 1C r - 1

n = 20

r = 5

= 20 + 5 - 1 C 5-1

= 24C4

= 24!/4 ! × (24 - 4)

= 24!/4! × 20!

= 10,626

Step 2

We find the factorial of the number books

= 20!

= 2,432,902,008,176,640,000

Step 3

The different arrangements there are if the order on the shelves does matter is calculated

= 10,626 × 2,432,902,008,176,640,000

= 2.5852017 × 10²² different arrangements

If g (x) = 2x + 2, find g (a + h) - g <br> a. .<br> a. 2h<br> b. 2h + 4<br> c. h + 2
katrin [286]
G(x) = 2x + 2

g(a + h) - g(a) = 2(a+h) + 2 - (2(a) + 2)

g(a + h) - g(a) = 2a + 2h + 2 - 2a - 2

g(a + h) - g(a) = 2h + 2 - 2

g(a + h) - g(a) = 2h


Your final answer is a. 2h.

Which is the equation of an ellipse with directrices at x = ±4 and foci at (2, 0) and (−2, 0)?
NemiM [27]

Answer:

x squared over 4 plus y squared over 8 equals 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation of ellipse is given as;

(x²/a²) + (y²/b²) = 1

The coordinates of a foci are: (±c, 0) where;

c² = b² - a²

However, we know that equation of directrix is; x = ±a/e

Now, Directrix is given ±4

Thus, a/e = 4

a = 4e

We also know that c = ae from ellipse foci coordinates.

Thus, ae = 2

since ae = 2, then (4e)e = 2

4e² = 2

e² = 2/4

e = 1/2

Thus;

a = 4 × 1/2

a = 2

Since c² = b² - a²;

2² = b² - 2²

4 = b² - 4

b² = 8

From (x²/a²) + (y²/b²) = 1, we can put our values to get;

x²/4 + y²/8 = 1

Brian invests £1850 into his bank account. He receives 2.7% per year simple interest. How much will Brian have after 3 years? Gi
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

£1999.85

Step-by-step explanation:

A = P(1 + rt)

Where:

A = Amount after t years

P = Initial amount invested = £1850

r = Interest rate = 2.7%

t = Time in years = 3 years

Calculation:

First, converting R percent to r a decimal

r = R/100 = 2.7%/100 = 0.027 per year.

Solving our equation:

A = £1850(1 + (0.027 × 3))

A = £1999.85

Therefore, Brian will have £1999.85 after 3 years.
