Answer:

60 different possibilities

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of bikers = 5

Positions = first, second and third

First positions = all 5 riders can take the first spot = 5 possibilities

Second spot = position 1 has been filled hence number of possibilities = ( 5 - 1) = 4

Third spot = position 1 and 2 has been filled ; number of possibilities =. (5 - 2). = 3

Number of possible arrangements :

5 * 4 * 3 = 60 different possibilities

A 16 inch candle is lit and burns at a constant rate of 1.1 inches per hour. Let t represent the never of hours that have elapse

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

(a) Number of inches that have burned from the candle since it was lit is (1.1t) inches

(b) The remaining length of the candle is (16 - 1.1t) inches

Step-by-step explanation:

(a). Length of candle before it was lit = 16 inches

Constant rate at which at which candle burns = 1.1 inches per hour

Let t represent the number of hours that have elapsed since the candle was lit

In 1 hour, 1.1 inches of the candle burned

Therefore, in t hours, (1.1t) inches of the candle would have burned since the candle was lit

(b) Remaining length of candle = length of candle before it was lit - length of candle that have burned = 16 inches - 1.1t inches = (16 - 1.1t) inches

GEOMETRY. PLS HELP ASAP....<br> How can you verify Euler’s formula for this net of a cube?

Tomtit [17]

The above figure can be formed into a cube.

This is for any polyhedron that does not intersect itself. The Euler's formula states that the number of faces plus the number of vertices or corner points less the number of edges is always equal to 2.

Faces + Vertices - Edges = 2

A cube has 6 faces, 8 vertices, and 12 edges.

Euler's formula: 6 + 8 - 12 = 2 ⇒ 14 - 12 = 2 ⇒ 2 = 2

lions [1.4K]

$a^n\cdot a^m=a^{n+m}\\\\-16a^{-3}b^{-5}\cdot2a^{-4}b^2=(-16\cdot2)(a^{-3}a^{-4})(b^{-5}b^2})\\\\=-32a^{-3+(-4)}b^{-5+2}=\boxed{-32a^{-7}b^{-3}}$
