Answer:

120

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we're dealing with a problem where the order matters and the first two letters are already chosen we need to subtract the number of letters and the number of available slots per group.

We use the permutation formula to find the answer, but before that let's check values.

n = 8

k = 5

Now since there are two letters already chosen we have to deduct two from both the value of n and k.

n = 6

k = 3

Now we can use the permutation formula:

_{n}P_{k}=\dfrac{n!}{(n-k)!}

_{6}P_{3}=\dfrac{6!}{6-3)!}

_{6}P_{3}=\dfrac{6!}{3!}

_{6}P_{3}=\dfrac{6*5*4*3*2*1}{3*2*1}

The 3*2*1 cancels out and leaves us with:

_{6}P_{3}=6*5*4

_{6}P_{3}=120

So there are 120 possible ways to arrange eight letters into groups of five where order matters and the first two letters are already chosen.

This problem is based on permutations because here order matters.

This problem can be found by the following solution.

When you are given 8 letters and two letters are already chosen, then 6 letters are left and you want to know in how many ways 6 letters can fill 3 spaces when order matters. So, the answer is 6P3 ways.

\frac{6!}{(6-3)!}

= \frac{6 *5 *4 *3 *2 *1}{3 *2 *1}

= 6*5*4 = 120

Hence, there are total 120 combinations.

B is the midpoint of AC. C is the midpoint of AD. Find the coordinates of B and D given the coordinates of A (-2,5) and the coor
GalinKa [24]

B= (3,6) and D= (18,9)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the midpoint of two given points add X1 and X2 together, then divide by 2 to get the X value of the midpoint and do the same thing for the Y value. That will get you B. From there you can see to get from point A to point C you add 10 to the x value and add 2 to the y value. Because C is the midpoint just double what you had to add to get point D (add 20 to x and add 4 to y)

Use point-slope form to write the equation of a line that passes through the point
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

y= -2x-22.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) the slope-interception common form is y=s*x+i, where 's' and 'i' are the slope and interception, unknown numbers;

2) if x₁= -3; y₁= -16, and s=-2, then the equation of the required line can be written in the point-interception form y-y₁=s(x-x₁); ⇔ y+16= -2(x+3);

3) the required equation in slope-interception form is:

y+16= -2x-6; ⇒ y= -2x-22.

note, the provided solution is not the only and shortest way.

viktelen [127]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: 20 shows $20 which Cory earns by mowing one lawn. 9 shows $9 which he earns by trimming one hedge. x shows the number of lawns. y shows the number of hedges. Part B: There are two terms in this expression. 20x which shows the total earning of Cory by mowing lawns. 9y which shows his earning by trimming hedges. It can be judged by the description of rates explained in part A. Part C: From explanation given in Part C, we can easily see that the expression 9y is used for the total earned from trimming hedges.
