Answer: 60480

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The number of empty seats in a theater = 9

The number of customers need to find places to sit =6

Since order matters here, so we use permutations

The permutations of n things taking r at a time is given by :-

$^nP_r=\dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!}$

Then, the number of ways to arrange 6 seat in 9 seats :-

$^9P_6=\dfrac{9!}{(9-6)!}=\dfrac{9\times8\times7\times6\times5\times4\times3!}{3!}\\\\=60480$

Hence, the number of ways to arrange 6 seat in 9 seats = 60480

If you convert 840,000 to scientific notation; you would take 840,000 and divide it by 10^5 (ten to the fifth power) which is 100,000 and that would leave you with 8.4 divided by 10^5. Remember scientific notation must be expressed as a number 1 through 9 but less than 10.

A population of mice is increasing exponentially. On Monday there were 120 most. One month later there were 132 most. Ready func

Answer:

$y=120 * 1.1^x$ --- function

The monthly rate is 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let

$x \to months$

$y \to mice$

So, we have:

$(x_1,y_1) = (0,120)$ --- Monday

$(x_2,y_2) = (1,132)$ --- One month later

Required

The function

The function is represented as:

$y=ab^x$

In $(x_1,y_1) = (0,120)$ , we have:

$120 = a * b^0$

$120 = a * 1$

$120 = a$

$a=120$

In $(x_2,y_2) = (1,132)$ , we have:

$132 = a * b^1$

$132 = a * b$

Substitute: $a=120$

$132 = 120 * b$

Solve for b

$b = \frac{132}{120}$

$b = 1.1$

So, the function is:

$y=ab^x$

$y=120 * 1.1^x$

To calculate the monthly rate (r), we have:

$y =a(1 + r)^x$

Compare to: $y =ab^x$

$1 + r = b$

Make r the subject

$r = b-1$

Substitute $b = 1.1$

$r = 1.1-1$

$r = 0.1$

Express as percentage

$r = 0.1*100\%$

$r = 10\%$
