Answer:

(A) P (n,k) = n!/(n-k)! divided by 2

(B) C (n,3) = n!/(12)(n-3)!

(C) C (n,k) = n!/(n-k)!(k!)

Step-by-step explanation:

Permutation deals with order or arrangement or position of objects. Where this does not matter, we use the Combination formula.

We divide by 2 in all cases, because no 2 chosen chairs should be adjacent.

For (B), n=10

C (n,3) = n!/(n-3)!(3!) divided by 2

3! = 3×2×1 = 6

The expression divided by 2 means it will be multiplied by 1/2

Hence 6×2 = 12

And we arrive at

C (n,3) =n!/(12)(n-3)!

Answer:

Quotient: x+7

Remainder: -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the terms (x² ÷ x =x)↓

(x² + 11x + 26) ÷ (x + 4) =x

Subtract x² + 4x (You have to the sign if each term)

(x² + 11x + 26) ÷ (x + 4) =x

-x² - 4x

-------------------

      7x + 26      

Divide the terms (7x ÷ x = 7)

x² + 11x + 26) ÷ (x + 4) =x + 7

Multiply the quotient by the dividend (x + 4) × 7 = 7x+28

(x² + 11x + 26) ÷ (x + 4) =x

-x² - 4x

-------------------

      7x + 26      

      7x + 28

------------------

           = -2 Remainder

Jet001 [13]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

The sale price is out of the original price so do 424.15 / 499.00 to find what it is out of in decimal form. Multiply your answer by 100 to find the percentage.

So:

424.15 / 499.00 =0.85

0.85 x 100 = 85

So the answer would 85%.

Hope this helps!
