Answer:

There are 44 derangements of the hats.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- A derangement is a permutation of objects that leaves no object in its original position.

- The permutation 21453 is a derangement of 12345 because no number is left in its original  position. However, 21543 is not a derangement of 12345, because this permutation leaves 4 fixed.

- Let Dn denote the number of derangements of n objects:

The number of derangements of a set with n elements is:

            D_n = n!* [ 1 - 1/1! + 1 / 2! - 1 /3! + ...+ (-1)^n 1/n! ]

- The answer is the number of ways the hats can be arranged so that there is no hat in its original  position divided by n!, the number of permutations of n hats:

            D_5 = 5!* [ 1 - 1/1! + 1 / 2! - 1 /3! + 1 /4! - 1/5!]\\\\D_5 = 44 ways

- There are 44 derangements of the hats.

Your answer would be "D", because when finding the GCF of a term, you want to take the most out of it. Following the procedure of D, finding the greatest shared factor of 10 and 15 and the greatest shared power between exponent 2 and exponent 3, would allow you to find the GCF.

The answer is 21 which comes from 7 * 3.

Draw the four points in a complex plane. From the drawing you can see that the lenght is 4i - (-3i) = 4i + 3i = 7i, and the width is 1 - (-2) = 1 + 2 = 3.

So, the area is 7 * 3 = 21.

Mickey works in a square shaped office. The area of his office is 110.25 ft2. What is the length of one side of Mickey’s office?
krek1111 [17]

Answer: A formula that can be used to find the answer is (x Squared = 110.25) So (x times x = 110.25) 10.5 is the length of one side because 10.5 squared = 110.25.

Answer is 10.5
