Answer:
The members of the cabinet can be appointed in 121,080,960 different ways.
Step-by-step explanation:
The rank is important(matters), which means that the order in which the candidates are chosen is important. That is, if we exchange the position of two candidates, it is a new outcome. So we use the permutations formula to solve this quesiton.
Permutations formula:
The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

If there are 14 eligible candidates for these positions (where rank matters), how many different ways can the members of the cabinet be appointed?
Permutations of 8 from a set of 14. So

The members of the cabinet can be appointed in 121,080,960 different ways.
Answers:
The next two terms are 67.5 and 101.25 in that order.
===========================================
Explanation:
Divide the second term over the first to get 30/20 = 1.5
Divide the third term over the second term to get 45/30 = 1.5
The common ratio is 1.5, which means we multiply 1.5 by each term to get the next term
-------
fourth term = 1.5*(third term) = 1.5*45 = 67.5
fifth term = 1.5*(fourth term) = 1.5*67.5 = 101.25
-------
As a shortcut you can plug n = 4 and n = 5 into the function t(n) = 20*(1.5)^(n-1) to get the fourth and fifth terms respectively.
Hello!
First of all, we can subtract the stretching time. This gives us 20. If we divide by the four laps we get 5 minutes per lap.
Now, one lap is 400 meters (most tracks are), which is equal to 15,748.03 inches. This means it takes her five minutes to walk 15,748.03 inches. This is also equal to 300 seconds, so it takes her 300 minutes per 15,748.03 inches.
But if we round our big inches number to the nearest ten thousandth, we get 16,000, so in a simpler form her pace is 300/16,000. But we need to find in per second. Therefore we will divide by 300 to find how many inches she walks per second. This means she walks about 53.33 inches per second.
I hope this helps!
The tangent of the angle is
... tan(α) = ay/ax = -8.6/6.1
Then the angle (measured CCW from +x) is
... α = arctan(-86/61) ≈ 305°
