Answer:

69090840 possible rankings

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of possible ranking ordered in terms of effectiveness can be obtained using permutation

Number of salesperson = 39

Number of rank = 5

nPr = n! ÷ (n - r)!

nPr = 39P5

39P5 = 39! ÷ (39 - 5)!

39P5 = 39! ÷ 34!

39P5 = 39 * 38 * 37 * 36 * 35 = 69090840

For what values of K does x2+kx+9=0

Airida [17]

Answer:

$k = 6$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x {}^{2} + kx + 9 = 0$

here,

a = 1,

b = k

c = 9

now,

$D = b {}^{2} - 4ac$

$k {}^{2} - 4(1)(9) = 0 \\ k {}^{2} - 36 = 0 \\ k {}^{2} = 36 \\ k = 6$

G varies inversely with the square

vivado [14]

Answer:;4.4

Step-by-step explanation: Since it varies inversely we know G times H squared is equal to some constant, k. So we have G*H*H=k. We are told that when H=4, G=.25. Plugging this in, we have .25*4*4=k. This simplifies to 4=k. Our new equation is G*H*H=4. Now, we want to solve for G when H=.3. We plug it in. G*.3*.3=4 => G*.09=4. G=4/.09. This means G is approximately 44.4.

Priscilla invests $10,000 in an account that compounds interest continuously and earns 11%. How long will it take for her money

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When the interest compounds continuously, our formula is

$A(t)=Pe^{rt}$

If we start with 10000 and are looking for how long, t, it takes to double, we are looking for how long it will take for our account to have 2 times 10000. That's 20000. Therefore, our equation is

$20000=10000e^{.11t}$

Divide both sides by 10000 to get

$2=e^{.11t}$

Take the natural log of both sides to "undo" that e:

$ln(2)=ln(e^{.11t})$

Again, since ln and e undo each other what we have now is

ln(2) = .11t and

$\frac{ln(2)}{.11}=t$ so

t = 6.3 years

T=pd/2x solve for X i always get confused when theirs more then one letter

Ainat [17]

When there's more than one letter, and you just have to solve for one variable, you can just solve it like you would any other equation. Treat the other variables like numbers and add, subtract, multiply, and divide them to both sides of the equation in order to isolate the variable you want to solve for.

$t= \frac{pd}{2x} \\ \\ t*2x= \frac{pd}{2x}*2x \\ \\ 2tx=pd \\ \\ \frac{2tx}{2t} = \frac{pd}{2t} \\ \\ x=\frac{pd}{2t}$
