If b is in the first position then c can be in any 1 of the remaining 6 positions.
If we start with ab then the letter c can be in any one of 5 positions and if we have aab there are 4 possible positions for c and so on.
So the total number of possible sequences where b comes first = 6+5+4+3+2+1 = 21.
The same argument applies when c comes before b so that gives us 21 ways also.
So the answer is 2 *21 = 42 different sequences.
A more direct way of doing this is to use factorials:-
answer = 7! / 5! = 7 * 6 = 42.
( We divide by 5! because of the 5 a's.)
Answer:
![\large\boxed{S.A.=96\ cm^2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Clarge%5Cboxed%7BS.A.%3D96%5C%20cm%5E2%7D)
Step-by-step explanation:
We have:
(1) two trapezoids with bases b₁ = 7cm and b₂ = 5cm and the height h = 4cm
(2) three rectangles 3 cm × 7 cm, 3 cm × 4 cm and 3 cm × 5 cm.
The formula of an area of a trapezoid:
![A=\dfrac{b_1+b_2}{2}\cdot h](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%3D%5Cdfrac%7Bb_1%2Bb_2%7D%7B2%7D%5Ccdot%20h)
Substitute:
![A=\dfrac{7+5}{2}\cdot4=24\ cm^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%3D%5Cdfrac%7B7%2B5%7D%7B2%7D%5Ccdot4%3D24%5C%20cm%5E2)
Calculate the areas of the rectangles:
![A_1=(3)(7)=21\ cm^2\\\\A_2=(3)(4)=12\ cm^2\\\\A_3=(3)(5)=15\ cm^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A_1%3D%283%29%287%29%3D21%5C%20cm%5E2%5C%5C%5C%5CA_2%3D%283%29%284%29%3D12%5C%20cm%5E2%5C%5C%5C%5CA_3%3D%283%29%285%29%3D15%5C%20cm%5E2)
The Surface Area:
![S.A.=(2)(24)+21+12+15=96\ cm^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=S.A.%3D%282%29%2824%29%2B21%2B12%2B15%3D96%5C%20cm%5E2)
It would be log(81) because of the power rule...
Answer:
17
Step-by-step explanation:
Whenever you are multiplying 2 negative numbers together, the answer is always positive. In this case, you are multiplying -1 and -17 together, so your answer is going to be 17.
