Answer:

19448 ways

70572902400 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

To arrange 17 books on a shelf from a possible we use the combination formula :

nCr = n! ÷ (n-r)!r!

17C10 = 17! ÷ 7! 10!

17C10 = 19448 ways

To arrange the books in alphabetical order :

2)

In question, 2, the order of arrangement matters ; hence, we use permutation ;

nPr = n! ÷ (n-r)!

17P10 = 17! ÷ (17 - 10)! = 17! ÷ 7!

17P10 = 70572902400

Answer:

 a - b2

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP  1 :

Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares:

1.1      Factoring:  a-b2  

Theory : A difference of two perfect squares,  A2 - B2  can be factored into  (A+B) • (A-B)

Proof :  (A+B) • (A-B) =

        A2 - AB + BA - B2 =

        A2 - AB + AB - B2 =

        A2 - B2

Note :  AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.

Note :  - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.

Check :  a1   is not a square !!

Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect squares

Final result :

 a - b2

I can't seem to figure this out

To answer this question, you would need a protractor, which is a device that measures angle. Because this is a picture, I cannot help you. I'm sorry....

What I can tell you is that the angle is less than 90 degrees.
