<span>The 6 playing cards may be arranged into 6 factorial (!) combinations, since the order of the cards does not matter, and since for each card we select, there is now one less card to choose from (for example 6 cards to start, then 5 to choose from, then 4, etc.)
So the number of combinations is 6! = 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 720 combinations.</span>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A proportion is being directly related to something, meaning that there is just multiplication or division (just a coefficient in front of the x-coordinate, nothing more).
In a graph, a proportional graph is a graph that goes straight through the origin.
Answer:
11.1 years
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for interest compounding continuously is:

Where A(t) is the amount after the compounding, P is the initial deposit, r is the interest rate in decimal form, and t is the time in years. Filling in what we have looks like this:

We will simplify this first a bit by dividing 2000 by 1150 to get

To get that t out the exponential position it is currently in we have to take the natural log of both sides. Since a natural log has a base of e, taking the natual log of e cancels both of them out. They "undo" each other, for lack of a better way to explain it. That leaves us with
ln(1.739130435)=.05t
Taking the natural log of that decimal on our calculator gives us
.5533852383=.05t
Now divide both sides by .05 to get t = 11.06770477 which rounds to 11.1 years.
The answer is D or the fourth choice, 12
