Answer:

A) None

Step-by-step explanation:

1) s^t shoudnt neccesarily be a factor of nst, for example, if s = 3, t = 4, and n = 12, then both s and t are factors of n, but 3^4 = 81 is not a factor of nst = 144.

2) (st)^2 shoudnt neccesarily be a factor of nst. Let s be 4, let t be 6, and let n be 12. Then n is a factor of both s and t, but (st)^2 = 24^2 is not a factor of nst = 12*24. In fact, it is a greater number.

3) Again, s+t isnt necessarily a factor of nst, let s be 2 and t be 3. Then both s and t are factor of n = 12. However 5 = s+t is not a factor of nst = 72.

So, neither of the three options is guaranteed to be a factor of nst. In fact, for s = 4, t = 6, and n = 12, none of the three options are valid.

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Number of ways = 59C5 × 35= 59!/(54!*5!)* 35= 175223510

Odds are thus 1 in 175223510

b) 1 million - Number of ways = 59!/(54!*5!) =5006386*35/34 = 5153632

Odds are thus 1 in 5153632

The square shown has a perimeter of 32 units. The square is rotated about line k. What shape is created by the rotation and what
harkovskaia [24]
The perimeter of the square is calculated through the equation,
                                        4x = P
where P is the perimeter and x is the measure of the sides.

When P is 32 units then,
                                         32 units = 4(x)
                                                 x = 8 inches

This 8 inches is the diameter of the cylinder formed by the rotation. 
The circumference of the base is calculated through,
                            C = 2πr = πD
Substituting the known values,
                              C = π(8 units) = <em>8π units
</em>
<em></em>When π is equal to 3.14, we solve for the numerical value of the cylinder as follows,
<em>                                      C = 8(3.14) = 25.12 units
</em>
<em></em>Thus, the figure formed is a cylinder with base circumference equal to 25 units. The answer is the third choice. <em>
