<h2>Answer: 36 cm</h2>

Step-by-step explanation: 4 times 2.4 gives you 9.6. So you do the same to the 15. 15 times 2.4 = 36.375, or just 36.

7) PG &amp; E have 12 linemen working Tuesdays in Placer County. They work in groups of 8. How many
BabaBlast [244]

Part A

Since order matters, we use the nPr permutation formula

We use n = 12 and r = 8

_{n}P_{r} = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}\\\\_{12}P_{8} = \frac{12!}{(12-8)!}\\\\_{12}P_{8} = \frac{12!}{4!}\\\\_{12}P_{8} = \frac{12*11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1}{4*3*2*1}\\\\_{12}P_{8} = \frac{479,001,600}{24}\\\\_{12}P_{8} = 19,958,400\\\\

There are a little under 20 million different permutations.

<h3>Answer: 19,958,400</h3>

Side note: your teacher may not want you to type in the commas

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

Part B

In this case, order doesn't matter. We could use the nCr combination formula like so.

_{n}C_{r} = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}\\\\_{12}C_{8} = \frac{12!}{8!(12-8)!}\\\\_{12}C_{8} = \frac{12!}{4!}\\\\_{12}C_{8} = \frac{12*11*10*9*8!}{8!*4!}\\\\_{12}C_{8} = \frac{12*11*10*9}{4!} \ \text{ ... pair of 8! terms cancel}\\\\_{12}C_{8} = \frac{12*11*10*9}{4*3*2*1}\\\\_{12}C_{8} = \frac{11880}{24}\\\\_{12}C_{8} = 495\\\\

We have a much smaller number compared to last time because order isn't important. Consider a group of 3 people {A,B,C} and this group is identical to {C,B,A}. This idea applies to groups of any number.

-----------------

Another way we can compute the answer is to use the result from part A.

Recall that:

nCr = (nPr)/(r!)

If we know the permutation value, we simply divide by r! to get the combination value. In this case, we divide by r! = 8! = 8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 40,320

So,

_{n}C_{r} = \frac{_{n}P_{r}}{r!}\\\\_{12}C_{8} = \frac{_{12}P_{8}}{8!}\\\\_{12}C_{8} = \frac{19,958,400}{40,320}\\\\_{12}C_{8} = 495\\\\

Not only is this shortcut fairly handy, but it's also interesting to see how the concepts of combinations and permutations connect to one another.

The circumference of a circle is 6.28. What is the area of the circle.
Rom4ik [11]
Hello there! Thank you for asking your question here at Brainly. I will be assisting you today with how to handle this problem, and will teach you how to handle it on your own in the future.

First, let's evaluate the question.
"The circumference of a circle is 6.28. What is the area of a circle?"

Now, let's remember the different formulas for area and circumference.
The circumference is "2•3.14•r", while the area is "3.14•r•r".

We have our circumference, 6.28.
However, we are looking for the area. Since we have the circumference, we need to narrow down to the radius (so we can solve for the area).
Let's set this up as an equation;
C = 2 • 3.14 • r
Plug in the value for our circumference.
6.28 = 2 • 3.14 • r
Multiply 2 by 3.14 and r to simplify the right side of the equation.
2 • 3.14 • r = 6.28 • r = 6.28r

We're now left with:
6.28 = 6.28r
Divide both sides by 6.28 to solve for r.
6.28 / 6.28 = 1
6.28r / 6.28 = r

We are now left with the radius:
R = 1.

Now, we can solve for the area.
Remember our formula for the area.
A = r • r • 3.14.
Plug in 1 for r.
A = 1 • 1 • 3.14
A = 3.14.

Your area is 3.14 units^2.

I hope this helps, and has prepared you for your future problems in relation to this topic!

You pack sandwiches for a hike with your friends. Each sandwich takes 2 slices of bread, and each hiker eats one sandwich.
Citrus2011 [14]

<u>Given</u><u> </u><u>that</u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

→ 1 sandwich = 2 slices of bread.

→ 1 hiker = 1 sandwich.

→ Then we have to find number of bread slices for n hikers .

→ Number of bread slices for 1 hiker = 2

→ Number of bread slices for 2 hikers = 2 × 2

→ For 3 hikers = 3 × 2

So in similar way

→ Number of bread slices for n hikers = 2×n → 2n

So <u>2</u><u>n</u><u> </u> is the answer.

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

  • See below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Multiply and simplify:</u>

  • (x - 1)(x + 2)(x + 3) =
  • (x² + 2x - x -2)(x + 3) =
  • (x² + x - 2)(x + 3) =
  • x³ + 3x² + x² + 3x - 2x - 6 =
  • x³ + 4x² + x - 6

<u>From the final polynomial we can see that:</u>

  • a = 1, b = 4, c = 1 and d = - 6

So all the coefficients are positive but the constant d is negative
