Answer:

10626 different arrangements

Step-by-step explanation:

As we have a total of 23 students and we want to form groups of 3, where the order of the 3 students matters, we can solve this problem using a permutation of 23 choose 3.

The formula for a permutation of n choose p is:

P(n,p) = n! / (n-p)!

So, using n = 23 and p = 3, we have:

P(23,3) = 23! / (23-3)! = 23! / 20! = 23 * 22 * 21 = 10626

So we have a total of 10626 different arrangements of first, second and third place.

Answer:

Option D is correct .i.e., Vertical translation down 9 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Function is y = cosec x - 9

Here basic function or parent function is y = cosec x

1. When constant ' a ' is added to to parent function or basic function then the function is translated vertically upward by a units.

2.  When constant ' a ' is subtracted from parent function or basic function then the function is translated vertically downward by a units.

Therefore, Option D is correct .i.e., Vertical translation down 9 units

Nikolay [14]
Use the Pythagorean Theorem to check out these possibilities (which you really do need to share here).

Note that 13^2 = 12^2 + 5^2, so 12 and 5 are a possible set of side lengths here.

What is the better buy?
White raven [17]

Answer: Option B is the cheaper deal (the 12 batteries for $14.76)

===========================================================

Explanation:

For the first deal we can say

3 batteries = 4.80 dollars

3/3 batteries = 4.80/3 dollars .... divide both sides by 3

1 battery = 1.60 dollars

The unit price for the first deal is $1.60 per battery.

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

For the second deal we could say

12 batteries = 14.76 dollars

12/12 batteries = 14.76/12 dollars .... divide both sides by 12

1 battery = 1.23 dollars

The unit price for the first deal is $1.23 per battery.

This is the cheaper deal.

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

So in short, you're dividing the total cost over the number of items to get the unit price.
