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

The population of bacteria can be modeled by the function below, where t represents the time since the population started decayi
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. I will assume the function is:

f(t) = 15(0.86)^t

Required

Determine the rate of decay

In an exponential function f(x) = ab^x,

The decay rate of the function is calculated as:

1 - r = b

By comparison:

b = 0.86

So, the equation becomes:

1 - r = 0.86

Make r the subject

r = 1 - 0.86

r = 0.14

<em>The rate of decay is 0.14</em>

Using the approximation 3.14 for \pi what is the radius of a circle with circumference 75.4m
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The radius of the circle is 12.006 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the radius of the circle = r

Circumference  = 75.4 m

Now, CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE = 2 π r

⇒ 75 .4 m = 2 π r

Now, putting  π = 3.14, we get:

75 .4 m = 2 (3.14)  r

⇒ 75.4 = 6. 28 r

or, r = 75.4/6.28 =  12.006

or, r  = 12.006 m

Hence, the radius of the circle with circumference 75.4 m is 12.006 m.
