You need to know the number of different arrangements possible for five distinct letters. You decide to use the permutations rul

e, but your friends tells you to use 5!. Who is correct? Explain.
Both methods are correct, since you are counting all possible arrangements of 5 items taken 5 at a time.

Your friend is correct because applying the permutations rule in this setting would be inappropriate.

Neither method is correct. The combinations rule should be applied in this setting.

Your method is correct because you are applying the permutations rule in the appropriate setting.

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever we want to arrange a number of objects or letters or numbers n then we must check whether

i) repitition is allowed

If repitition is allowed then total number of ways = n!

ii) repitition not allowed.

In this case again we have to check whether order matters or not.

If order matters then no of ways nPn.  

Here n =5

We find that nPn = 5!

Thus both are correct.

Hence option A

Find the product of (-8) and (-13)
KiRa [710]
To find this you can always use a calculator, if your teacher allows you to. Just remember to punch in the negative signs correctly and don't mistake them for subtraction signs. Also if you don't know what product means, that means the answer of a multiplication problem so for example 9 is the product of 3x3 or 5 is the product of 5x1. The answer to your question is 104. Maybe next time you can solve it on your own! :)

Using perfect factors find the square root of 1764
Zolol [24]

The square root of 1764 using perfect factors is 42

<h3>How to determine the square root using perfect factors?</h3>

The number is given as:

1764

Rewrite as

x^2 = 1764

Express 1764 as the product of its factors

x^2 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 3  * 7 * 7

Express as squares

x^2 = 2^2 * 3^2 * 7^2

Take the square root of both sides

x = 2 * 3 * 7

Evaluate the product

x = 42

Hence, the square root of 1764 using perfect factors is 42
