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

2x-5/5 +x-2=3(x+5). Find the value of x?
deff fn [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{2x - 5}{5} + x - 2 = 3(x + 5)

\frac{2x - 5}{5} + x - 2 = 3x + 15

\frac{2x - 5}{5} = 2x + 17

2x - 5 = 10x + 85

-8x = 90

x = \frac{-45}{4}

Baseball Ichiro Suzuki holds the American League record for the most hits in a single baseball season. In 2004, Suzuki had a tot
mamaluj [8]

Let Home runs = X

Triples would be X-3 ( 3 less triples than home runs)

Doubles would be 3x ( 3 times as many doubles as home runs)

Singles would be 45(x-3) ( 45 times as many singles as triples)

Simplify the equation for singles to be 45x-153

Now you have X + x-3 + 3x + 4x-135 = 262

Simplify:

50x - 138 = 262

Add 138 to both sides:

50x = 400

Divide both sides by 50:

x = 400/50

x = 8

Home runs = x = 8

Triples = x-3 = 8-3 = 5

Doubles = 3x = 3(8) = 24

Singles = 45(x-3) = 45(8-3) = 45(5) = 225

Nine out of ten students prefer math class over lunch. How many students do not prefer math if 200 students were asked?
fredd [130]
So, 9 out of 10 students prefer class, so, obviously, it would not be 100. It would be 150. So in conclusion, 50 students prefer lunch over math class, whilst 150 other students prefer math class over lunch.
