(1) From the information given, if we want to choose 5 colors from 8 distinct colors and the order in which the selection is made is relevant, then what we have is a permutation.
The formula is given as;

This formula means we need to select/arrange r items out of a total of n items and the anwer derived would be the total number of arrangements possible.
Therefore, we would have;

Therefore, if the order is relevant, this selection can be done in 6,720 ways.
(2) If the order is NOT relevant, then what we need to calculate is a combination and the formula is;

The formula can now be applied as follows;

If the order is not relevant, then the selection can be done in 56 ways.
1/2x+20=1/3x+30
Subtract 20 on both sides
1/2x=1/3x+10
Subtract 1/3x on both sides
1/6x=10
Multiply by 6 on both sides
X=60
Answer:
• multiplied by 4p: (x -h)² +4pk = 0
• zeros for k > 0: none
• zeros for k = 0: one
• zeros for k < 0: two
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Multiplying by 4p removes the 1/(4p) factor from the squared term, but adds a factor of 4p to the k term. (It has no effect on the subsequent questions or answers, so we wonder why we're doing this.) The result is ...
(x -h)² +4pk = 0
__
b) The value of k is the vertical location of the vertex of the parabola with respect to the x-axis. The parabola opens upward, so for k > 0, the parabola does not cross the x-axis, and the number of real zeros is zero. (There are two complex zeros.)
__
c) As in part b, the value of k defines the vertex location. When it is zero, the vertex of the parabola is on the x-axis, so there is one real zero (It is considered to have multiplicity 2.)
__
d) As in part b, the value of k defines the vertex location. When it is negative, the vertex of the parabola is below the x-axis. Since the parabola opens upward, both branches will cross the x-axis, resulting in two real zeros.

The attached graph shows a parabola with p=1/4 and h=2. The values shown for k are +1, 0, and -1. The coordinates of the real zeros are shown.
A because 5/15 is 1/3 and you need to find the median
Step-by-step explanation:
just think it through :
0.4x + 20 < 200
0.4x < 180
x < 180/0.4 = 450
so, x < 450
they must order less than 450 bars.
therefore, the first answer option is correct :
they can order from 0 to 449 bars, but no more.
