Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is permutation, since order matters. The formula for us is
₁₈P₅ =
which simplifies to
₁₈P₅ = 
The factorial of 13 cancels out on the top and bottom leaving you with
₁₈P₅ = 18 × 17 × 16 × 15 × 14
which comes to 1,028,160 ways
Another way to look at it is: the first 5 people of 18 finish and the others you don't care about. Once the first place person is first, there are only 4 of the 18 left to finish in second place. Then there are only 3 left to finish in third place, etc. So if we use that reasoning, we don't even need to use the formula, we can just say
18 * 17 * 16 * 15 * 14 and those are the first 5 people of 18 to finish.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Use FOIL method
1) (x +4 )(3x +2) = x*3x + x*2 + 4*3x + 4*2
= 3x² + 2x + 12x + 8
= 3x² + 14x + 8
4) (4x - 1) (2x + 7) = 4x*2x + 4x*7 + (-1)*2x + (-1) * 7
= 8x² + 28x - 2x - 7
= 8x² + 26x - 7
Answer:
(3, 6)
Step-by-step explanation:
If you create a mini graph, like I did, you would have seen that the middle point is at the co-ordinates (3,6). I have attached a image to this reply, with my "graph". (Sorry if its a little ugly, but that doesn't matter, the math does.)
