The question is not complete because it is not written correctly

Complete Question:

The drama club is holding auditions for five different parts in a one act play. If 9 people audition, how many ways can the roles be assigned?

a. 362,880

b. 15,120

c. 126

d. 120

Answer:

b. 15,120

Step-by-step explanation:

In other to solve the question above, we would use the formula for permutation.

This is because when assigning 5 DIFFERENT roles to 9 people, the order of assigning the roles is important. The formula for permutation, is used when order is involved.

Permutation (n, r) = nPr = n!/(n - r)!

In the above question,

n = 9 people

r = 5 different parts

9P5 = 9!/(9 - 5)!

= 9!/4! = 9×8×7×6×5×4×3×2×1/ 4×3×2×1

= 362880/ 24

= 15,120

Therefore, the number of ways that the roles can be assigned is 15,120 ways

I really need help on this question! Thank you!
KIM [24]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the following:

OE=5\\\\FG=4\\\\EF=8\\\\

so the segment EF is equal to

EF=EG+GO+OF\\\\

and here we can do a trick :)

EF=(EG+GO)+GO+(OF+OG)-2GO\\\\

you see it's the same

EF=EO-GO+FG\\\\

now we plug the values given

8=5-GO+4\\\\8=9-GO\\\\GO=9-8\\\\GO=1

so it's option A

A spacecraft is traveling with a velocity of v0x = 5320 m/s along the +x direction. Two engines are turned on for a time of 739
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

The velocities after 739 s of firing of each engine would be 6642.81 m/s in the x direction and 5306.02 in the y direction

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. For a constant acceleration: v_{f}=v_{0}+at, where  v_{f} is the final velocity in a direction after the acceleration is applied, v_{0} is the initial velocity in that direction  before the acceleration is applied, a is the acceleration applied in such direction, and t is the amount of time during where that acceleration was applied.
  2. <em>Then for the x direction</em> it is known that the initial velocity is v_{0x} = 5320 m/s, the acceleration (the applied by the engine) in x direction is a_{x} 1.79 m/s2 and, the time during the acceleration was applied (the time during the engines were fired) of the  is 739 s. Then: v_{fx}=v_{0x}+a_{x}t=5320\frac{m}{s} +1.79\frac{m}{s^{2} }*739s=6642.81\frac{m}{s}
  3. In the same fashion, <em>for the y direction</em>, the initial velocity is  v_{0y} = 0 m/s, the acceleration in y direction is a_{y} 7.18 m/s2, and the time is the same that in the x direction, 739 s, then for the final velocity in the y direction: v_{fy}=v_{0y}+a_{y}t=0\frac{m}{s} +7.18\frac{m}{s^{2} }*739s=5306.02\frac{m}{s}

The Alpitude is 5 because that is what the positive slope is. The Vertex is (2,6) because that is the lowest point on the graph. The equation is

y=5lx-2l-6 (lx-2l reprsents the absolute value of x-2)
