Answer:

A. 1, 287 ways

B. 154,440 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

A. We want to choose 5 objects from a total 13, without considering the order in which they are chosen.

The correct way to do this is by using the combination formula since order is not considered;

Thus we have ; 13 C 5 read as 13 combination 5;

Mathematically, n C r is ; n!/(n-r)!r!

Thus, we have ;

13!/(13-8)!8! = 13!/5!8! = 1,287 ways

B. By considering order, we shall be using the permutation formula;

Mathematically n P r = n!/(n-r)!

Read as n permutation r;

Using the numbers involved, we have ; 13 P 5

= 13!/(13-5)! = 13!/8! = 154,440 ways

Solve the equation: <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=5%5Ex%5E%28%5Ex%5E-%5E1%5E%29%3D1" id="TexFormula1" title="5^x^(^x^-^1^)=1
Tomtit [17]

<u>The concept:</u>

We are given the equation:

5^{x(x-1)} = 1

Which can be simplified as:

5^{x^{2} - x} = 1^{1}

Since any number to the power '0' is 1

x² - x must be equal to 0 for the given equation to be true

<u></u>

<u>Solving for x:</u>

x² - x = 0

x(x-1) = 0

now, we can divide both sides by either x OR x-1

So we will see what we get for either choice:

x = 0/(x-1)                           x-1 = 0/x

x = 0                                  x = 1

Hence, the value of x is either 0 or 1
