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)!

Hi! When I type into the calculator and multiply 0.12 and 100 it comes out as 13.2, why is that?

Answer:

because it is a decimal so it multiplies 100 by the decimal which is a smaller number, almost like how when you divide it becomes a smaller number.

Step-by-step explanation:

hope this helps:)

$6,700 is invested in an account earning 8. 3% interest (APR), compounded daily. Write a function showing the value of the accou
aliina [53]

Answer:

  A = $6,700(1 +0.0865^t)

  APY = 8.65%

Step-by-step explanation:

Daily compounding of interest results in an annual growth factor of ...

  gf = (1 +r/365)^365 . . . . for APR = r

Your growth factor is ...

  gf = (1 +0.083/365)^365 ≈ 1.086532

Then the growth rate (APY) is ...

  APY = gf -1 ≈ 8.65%

The account value is multiplied by the growth factor each year, so after t years will be ...

  A = P(1 +APY)^t

  A = $6,700(1 +0.0865)^t . . . . . . . 0.0865 is the annual growth rate
