<h3>Answer: 680 different combinations</h3>

=======================================================

Explanation:

If order mattered, then we'd have 17*16*15 = 4080 different permutations. Notice how I started with 17 and counted down 1 at a a time until I had 3 slots to fill. We count down by 1 because each time we pick someone, we can't pick them again.

So we have 4080 different ways to pick 3 people if order mattered. But again order doesn't matter. All that counts is the group itself rather than the individual or how they rank. There are 3*2*1 = 6 ways to order any group of three people, which means there are 4080/6 = 680 different combinations possible.

An alternative is to use the nCr formula with n = 17 and r = 3. That formula is

_n C _r = \frac{n!}{r!*(n-r)!}

where the exclamation marks indicate factorials

Which statement about the following equation is true? 3x2 â€"" 8x 5 = 5x2.
kati45 [8]

The discriminant is greater than 0, so there are two real roots and it can be determined by using nature of roots.

Given that,

Equation; \rm 3x^2 - 8x + 5 = 5x^2

We have to determine,

Which statement about the following equation is true?

According to the question,

To determine the true statement about the equation following all the steps given below.

Equation; \rm 3x^2-8x+5=5x^2

Simplify the equation for the roots of the equation,

\rm 3x^2-8x+5=5x^2\\\\\rm5x^2- 3x^2+8x-5=0\\\\ 2x^2+8x-5=0\\\\ 2x^2+8x-5=0\\\\2x^2+8x=5\\\\2x(x+4)=5\\\\Then, \ 2x = 5, \ \ x = \dfrac{5}{2}  \\\\And\ \  x+4=5, \ \  x=5-4, \ \ x=1

The equation has two real roots and x is 1 and 5/2.

Hence, The discriminant is greater than 0, so there are two real roots.

Graham uses a 10 by 10 grid to model a decreasing pattern. He cuts off a section representing a percent of the current area so t
Bogdan [553]

After each cut, by observing the graph, the remaining area is 80% of the previous area.

It is given that

Actual area = 100cm²

<h3>What is the percentage?</h3>

The percentage is the value per hundred.

According to the graph,

Area after the first cut =80cm² (80% of the previous are)

Area after the second cut = 64 cm²(80% of 80)

Area after third cut = 51.2 cm²(80% of 64)

So we can observe that area after each cut is 80% of the previous area.

Therefore, after each cut, the remaining area is 80% of the previous area.
