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

Is 1485 divisible by 2,3,5,6,9,10
Natali [406]
The simple and easiest way to find it is that you add all the numbers of that value i.e.: 1485=1+4+8+5 it will give u a number which will tell u if it is divisible by what number i mean that: 1+4+8+5=18 so 18 is divisible by 2, 3, 6, and 9

irinina [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A. If children are considered people under the age of 18, then the answer would be

13 < a < 18 where the a represents age, where the inequality signs do not have an equals to because those ages are excluded

B. This inequality can be shown on a number line with open circles denoting the endpoints 13 and 18 as they are not included, and a line connecting these two points which represents the ages encompassed by the range

Given RT below, if S lies on RT such that the ratio of RS to ST is 3:1, find the coordinates of S.
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

S(-2, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached below,=. Frim the diagram, the coordinate of R and T are (-5, 3) and (-1, -5) respectively. If the ratio of RS to ST is 3:1, the coordinate of S can be gotten using the midpoint segment formula as shown;

S(X, Y) = {(ax1+bx2/a+b), (ay1+by1/a+b)} where;

x1 = -5, y1 = 3, x2 = -1, y2 = -5, a = 3 and b =1

Substitute the values into the formula;

X = ax2+bx1/a+b

X = 3(-1)+1(-5)/3+1

X = -3-5/4

X = -8/4

X = -2

Similarly;

Y = ay2+by1/a+b

Y = 3(-5)+1(3)/3+1

Y = -15+3/4

Y = -12/4

Y = -3

Hence the coordinate of the point (X, Y) is (-2, -3)
