Answer: 16 007 560 800 possible letter combinations.
Explanation: Now, we don't care about the order in which they are picked, so it's a little bit different to how permutation probability and combinations work.
Since we don't care about order, these two are identical:

123a
12a3

They have the same letters in their sequence, so they won't form a new word.
Now, let's understand how combinatorics work compared to permutations.

Combinatorics work out a list of combinations that you can have, provided that they all have different values (123 is not the same as 234, they are different combinations), however permutations focus solely on ordered figures (123 may be the same as 321 in combinatorics, but they yield a new set in permutations).

Thus, if we don't care about order, let's write up a formula:
If we have 100 tiles to fill 100 places, we have 100! combinations, provided that they are all different letters.
But we only want to pick 7 and sort them out.

Thus, our equation is \frac{100!}{7!(100 - 7)!} = 16 007 560 800
This is our ^{n}C_r formula, and it's important to remember this formula.

Yin wants to create figure Y′ that is similar to figure Y. Yin begins by reflecting figure Y across the y-axis.
Sholpan [36]

Answer: B) Dilate by scale factor of 2

====================================================

Explanation:

Your teacher isn't saying this directly, but I'm assuming s/he wants you to find a similar figure that isn't congruent to the original. Informally, your teacher seems to want you to find a figure that is the same shape but not the same size as the original.

If so, then any dilation will shrink or enlarge the image depending on the scale factor. So the new image will not be the same as the old one. In this case, a dilation with scale factor 2 means the new figure is twice as large (each side is twice as long). But the old image is similar to the new image. The angles keep their values and therefore we get the same shape. This is why choice B is the answer. Again this is assuming what I mentioned in the first paragraph.

Choices A, C, and D are all known as rigid transformations and they preserve the same size of the figure. Applying any of those operations will lead to the same figure (just rotated, reflected or shifted somehow). In other words, applying operations A,C, or D will have us get two congruent triangles. If two triangles are congruent, then they are automatically similar, but not vice versa. This is why we can rule out A,C, and D.

1.What basic trigonometric identity would you use to verify that cot x sin x = cos x? . .
zavuch27 [327]
1 ) cot x * sin x = cos x
(cos x / sin x) * sin x = cos x 
cos x = cos x
Answer: B ) cot x = cos x / sin x
2 ) ( sin² x + cos² x ) / cos x = sec x
1/cos x = sec x
sec x = sec x
Answer: C ) cos² x + sin² x = 1
