A) Since a is last in line, we can disregard a, and concentrate on the remaining letters.
Let's start by drawing out a representation:

_ _ _ _ a

Since the other letters don't matter, then the number of ways simply becomes 4! = 24 ways

b) Since a is before d, we need to account for all of the possible cases.

Case 1: a d _ _ _ 
Case 2: a _ d _ _
Case 3: a _ _ d _
Case 4: a _ _ _ d

Let's start with case 1.
Since there are four different arrangements they can make, we also need to account for the remaining 4 letters.
\text{Case 1: } 4 \cdot 4!

Now, for case 2:
Let's group the three terms together. They can appear in: 3 spaces.
\text{Case 2: } 3 \cdot 4!

Case 3:
Exactly, the same process. Account for how many times this can happen, and multiply by 4!, since there are no specifics for the remaining letters.
\text{Case 3: } 2 \cdot 4!

\text{Case 4: } 1 \cdot 4!

\text{Total arrangements}: 4 \cdot 4! + 3 \cdot 4! + 2 \cdot 4! + 1 \cdot 4! = 240

c) Let's start by dealing with the restrictions.
By visually representing it, then we can see some obvious patterns.

a b c _ _

We know that this isn't the only arrangement that they can make.
From the previous question, we know that they can also sit in these positions:

_ a b c _
_ _ a b c

So, we have three possible arrangements. Now, we can say:
a c b _ _ or c a b _ _
and they are together.

In fact, they can swap in 3! ways. Thus, we need to account for these extra 3! and 2! (since the d and e can swap as well).

\text{Total arrangements: } 3 \cdot 3! \cdot 2! = 36

In the year 2000, The U.S. Budgeted $25,003 million for Natural Resources and Environment. In 2014, they budgeted $40,156 millio
stiks02 [169]

Using it's concepts, we have that:

  • The absolute change was of $15,153 million.
  • The relative change was of 60.60%.

<h3>What is the absolute change of two values?</h3>

The absolute change between two values is given by the absolute value of the difference between two values.

In this problem, the values are of $40,156 million, which is the final value, and $25,003 million, which is the initial value, hence the absolute change is:

A = 40,156 - 25,003 = $15,153 million.

<h3>What is the relative change?</h3>

The relative change is the absolute change multiplied by 100% and divided by the initial value, hence:

(15,153/25,003) x 100% = 60.60%.

A cyclist is riding a bicycle whose wheels have a diameter of 1.6 feet. Suppose the wheels turn at a rate of 280 revolutions per
yan [13]

Answer: a. 1759.52 radians/minutes

b. 1407.62 feet/minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter = 1.6 feet

Radius = Diameter/2= 1.6/2 = 0.8 feet

N = 280 revolution

a. Angular speed(w) = 2πN

= 2π × 280

= 560π

= 560 × 3.142

= 1759.52 radians/minutes

Speed of cyclist = wr

= 1759.52 × 0.8

= 1407.62 feet/minutes

Exponents represent repeated:
Molodets [167]

Answer:

An expression that represents repeated multiplication of the same factor is called a power. The number 5 is called the base, and the number 2 is called the exponent. The exponent corresponds to the number of times the base is used as a factor.
