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.

Solve for C.<br> -5/8c=20
iris [78.8K]
-5/8c = 20....multiply both sides by -8/5 (this cancels out the -5/8 on the left
c = 20(-8/5)
c = -160/5
c = - 32

check..
-5/8(-32) = 20
160/8 = 20
20 = 20 (correct)

so c = -32

What is the slope of the line parallel to the line whose equation is y+4x=7
ryzh [129]

Y+4x =7

Or y = -4x + 7

On comparing with point slope form

y = mx+c

We get m = -4 = slope of given line

As the required line is parallel to given line its slope is equal to -4
