Answer:

28, 56

56

Step-by-step explanation:

a

To solve this, we use the combination rule.

nCk = n!/k!(n-k)! where

n is the number of options (8) k is the number of slots (2).

Assuming the order doesn't matter, then

8C2 = 8! / 2!(8-2)!

8C2 = 8! / 2! 6!

8C2 = 40320 / 2 * 720

8C2 = 40320 / 1440

8C2 = 28

If the order does matter, then we use permutation instead.

nPk = n!/(n-k!) where n = 8 and k =2 8P2 = 8! / 6!

8P2 = 40320 / 720

8P2 = 56

b

We are told that there exist 8 ways to choose a president and a vice president. This means that, after choosing a president from 8 people, there remains 7 people to choose his vice from. Thus, the number of ways to choose a president and his vice are 8 * 7 = 56

If you would like to know what is the following expression in the simplest form, you can calculate it like this:

If you 24v / 3v divide by v, you will get 24 / 3. Now, if you divide 24 by 3, you will get 8.

The simplest form of 24v / 3v would be 8.

Factor the expression over the complex numbers. x^2+36
denis-greek [22]
Note that
a² - b² = (a+b)(a-b)
i² = -1 by definition.

We want to factorize x² + 36 = x² + 6².

Consider the expression
x² - (6i)² = x² - (6²)(i²) = x² - 36i² = x² + 36

Because x² - (6i)² = (x + 6i)(x - 6i)
Therefore
x² + 36 = (x + 6i)(x - 6i)

Answer: (x + 6i)(x - 6i)
