Answer:

There are 3 marbles, that we assume are different.

Let's define them as marble 1, marble 2, and marble 3.

a) If the order is important, and we select the 3 marbles, then:

for the first marble, we have 3 options.

For the second marble, we have 2 options (because one is already taken)

for the third marble is only one option.

The total number of combinations is equal to the product between the numbers of options, so in this case, we have:

C = 3*2*1 = 6 combinations.

Now, if we only select 2 marbles from the bag, we have:

for the first marble, we have 3 options.

For the second marble, we have 2 options

Here the number of different combinations is:

C = 3*2 = 6 combinations.

And if we select only one marble from the bag, we have:

for the first marble, we have 3 options.

Then here are only 3 combinations.

the total number of combinations is:

C' = 6 + 6 + 3 = 15 different combinations.

b) If the order is not important, then there is only one combination when we draw the 3 marbles.

When we draw one marble there are 3 combinations (one for each marble)

When we draw two marbles, again there are 3 combinations (one for each marble that we do not draw)

then the total number of combinations in this case is:

C = 1 + 3 + 3 = 7

The penny size of a nail indicates the length of the nail. The penny size
Alecsey [184]

In this question ,it is given that

The penny size of a nail indicates the length of the nail. The penny size

d is given by the literal equation

d=4n-2

where n is the length (in inches) of the nail.

In the first part we have to solve for n .

And for that firt we add 2 to both sides

d+2 =4n

Now we divide both sides by 4, that is

n = \frac{d+2}{4}

Part b.

When d=3

n= \frac{3+2}{4} =  \frac{5}{4} = 1.25

When d =6, we will get

n=\frac{6+2}{4}=2

When d =10, we will get

n = \frac{10+2}{4}= 3

For the 2nd part of 2. just plug in what you have for G in your previous graph into the equation. This will give you H for all 5 columns . Like 3×8(-1+5)= h = 3× 32= 96 so H should equal 96 and so on as far as this function.

For number 3. The equation is given so just plug in your T for time which is 3 seconds, so...-16(3)^2+90(3) = H the height at 3 seconds. I'm doing it in my head but should be the height is 414. You should also say whether it's ft or inches etc because the teacher or yourself left that out of the equation which is also vital lol.
