To solve this problem, we will use the formula for permutation. A permutation is where the order of the things in the set matter.
Solution:
₁₂P₅ =

= 12 x 11 x 10 x 9 x 8 = 96,040 different ways that can be made.
Of means multiply so 1/4 of 2 means 2x1/4
so one topping = 0.50
so 3 toppings = $1.50
so the yogurt + toppings = $3.50
Divide the number absent by the total and multiply by 100
P=6/25 x 100% = 24%
Answer:
first blank = 10 (for table 1)
second blank = 30 (for table 2)
====================================================
Explanation:
You could use a calculator to determine the value of b, then compute b^x for that first box. But as the instructions state, we don't need to use one. Why is that? Because the tables provide enough information to fill in the blanks.
Table 1 shows x = 2.096 lead to some unknown y value. Meanwhile, table 2 has x = 10 lead to y = 2.096; note the 2.096 shows up again. The exponential and log functions are inverses of each other. They undo each other's operation. This is similar to how division undoes multiplication, and vice versa.
Going in reverse of table 2, we will conclude that 10 must go in the blank for table 1. Therefore, b^x = 10 when x = 2.096
------------
Similarly, we will have 30 in the blank for table 2. Table 1 shows x = 3.096 lead to y = 30. Table 2 is the reverse of that as it is the inverse.
Throughout either section, we didn't need to find the value of b.
-7(5x-8)
=-35x + 56
which is basically 56-35x if u swap it around
