Answer:

E. 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

C_1 = color 1

C_2 = color 2

C_3 = color 3

Case I

C₂      C₃       C₂

C₃      C₁        C₃

C₁       C₂       C₁

Since C₁ has 3 choices, then C₂ has 2 choices and C₁ has 1 choice

number of combinations = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6

Case II

C₂      C₃       C₁

C₃      C₁        C₂

C₂       C₃       C₁

Since C₁ has 3 choices, then C₂ has 2 choices and C₁ has 1 choice

number of combinations = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6

Case III

C₁      C₃       C₂

C₂      C₁        C₃

C₃       C₂       C₁

Since C₁ has 3 choices, then C₂ has 2 choices and C₁ has 1 choice

number of combinations = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6

Case IV

C₂     C₃         C₁

C₃      C₁        C₂

C₁       C₂       C₃

Since C₁ has 3 choices, then C₂ has 2 choices and C₁ has 1 choice

number of combinations = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6

Case V

C₁      C₂         C₁

C₃      C₁        C₃

C₂      C₃       C₂

Since C₁ has 3 choices, then C₂ has 2 choices and C₁ has 1 choice

number of combinations = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6

Case VI

C₁      C₂         C₃

C₃      C₁        C₂

C₁       C₂       C₃

Since C₁ has 3 choices, then C₂ has 2 choices and C₁ has 1 choice

number of combinations = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6

Therefore, the total combinations = 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6

= 36

PLEASE PLEASE HELP! Find the measure of APB^.
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

65°

Step-by-step explanation:

Radii CA and CB are perpendicular to tangent lines AT and BT, so

\angle CAT=\angle CBT=90^{\circ}

Since angle BAT is equal to 65°, angle CAB has measure

\angle CAB=90^{\circ}-65^{\circ}=25^{\circ}.

Consider triangle ACB. This triangle is isosceles, because CA=CB as radii of the circle. Two angles adjacent to the base are congruent, thus

\angle CBA=\angle CAB=25^{\circ}

The sum of the measures of all interior angles in triangle is always 180°, so

\angle CAB+\angle CBA+\angle ACB=180^{\circ}\\ \\25^{\circ}+25^{\circ}+\angle ACB=180^{\circ}\\ \\\angle ACB=130^{\circ}

Angle ACB is central angle subtended on the minor arc AB, angle APB is inscribed angle subtended on the same minor arc AB. The measure of inscribed angle is half the measure of central angle subtended on the same arc, so

x=\angle APB=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot 130^{\circ}=65^{\circ}

What is the solution of the system? Use elimination.<br><br> 3 (-5x-2y=6)<br> 3x+6y=6
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

x = -2 and y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equations are :

-5x-2y=6 ...(1)

3x+6y=6 ...(2)

Multiply equation (1) by 3. SO,

-15x-6y=18 ...(3)

Adding equation (2) and (3).

3x+6y-15x-6y = 6+18

-12x = 24

x = -2

Put the value of x in equation (1).

-5(-2)-2y=6

10-2y=6

4=2y

y = 2

So, the value of x is -2 and y is 2.
