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.

write an equation of the line that passes through the given point and has the given slope slope is -3 (-5, 4)
Paraphin [41]

point slope form of a line

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-4 = -3(x--5)

y-4 =-3(x+5)

to change to slope intercept form

dstribute

y-4 = -3x-15

add 4 to each side

y = -3x-15+4

y = -3x-11

Write the if/else statement as the conditional expression that performs the same option result = x < y ? x * 5 : a b;
Semenov [28]

The conditional statement is

if x < y:

  result = x * 5

<h3>How to write the if/else statement as the conditional expression that performs the same option?</h3>

The statement is given as:

result = x < y ? x * 5

The above means that,

the variable result is assigned  x * 5 if x < y

So, the conditional statement is

if x < y:

  result = x * 5

Calculate the velocity of a baseball that travels 100 m in 5 sec.
r-ruslan [8.4K]

The velocity of the baseball is 20m/s

Velocity can be described as the speed of an object that is moving in a particular direction

The formula for calculating velocity is

velocity= displacement/time

The first step is to write out the parameters given in the question.

time= 5 seconds

displacement= 100m

The velocity can be calculated as follows;

velocity/displacement

= 100/5

= 20

Hence the velocity of the ball is 20m/s

Please see the link below for more information on velocity
