Number of ways to select 3 books from 13 books for adoption is 286 .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

A Permutation is an ordered Combination. When the order does matter it is a Permutation. There are basically two types of permutation:

  • Repetition is Allowed: such as the lock above. It could be "333".
  • No Repetition: for example the first three people in a running race. You can't be first and second.

Formula is given by:

nC_r= \frac{n!}{r! (n-r)!} , where n is the number of things to choose from,  and we choose r of them,  no repetitions,  order matters. Here , n=13 , r=3.

⇒ 13C_3 = \frac{13!}{3!(13-3)!}

⇒ 13C_3 = \frac{13!}{3!(10)!}

⇒ 13C_3 = \frac{13(12)(11)10!}{3(2)(1)(10)!}

⇒ 13C_3 = 13(2)(11)

⇒ 13 C_3 = 286

∴ Number of ways to select 3 books from 13 books for adoption is 286 .

What are the solutions of 4x2 - 8x +5 = 0 ?
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

x= {2+ i}/2 , {2- i}/2 = C

Step-by-step explanation:

4x² - 8x +5 = 0

using quadratic formula

x= {-b±√b²-4ac}/2a

x= [-(-8)±√(-8)²-4(4)(5)] /2x4 = [8±√64-80]/8= [8±√-16]/8 = {8±4 i}/8

x= {8+4 i}/8 , {8-4 i}/8

x=4 {2+ i}/8 , {2- i}/8

4 divides 8

x= {2+ i}/2 , {2- i}/2 = c
