In an attempt to clean up your room, you have purchased a new floating shelf to put some of your 17 books you have stacked in a

corner. These books are all by different authors. The new book shelf is large enough to hold 10 of the books.
(a) How many ways can you select and arrange 10 of the 17 books on the shelf? Notice that here we will allow the books to end up in any order. Explain.
(b) How many ways can you arrange 10 of the 17 books on the shelf if you insist they must be arranged alphabetically by author? Explain.

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

Which representation of a transformation on a coordinate grid does not preserve congruence?
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider all options:

A. Transformation with the rule

(x,y)\rightarrow (x,-y)

is a reflection across the x-axis.

Reflection across the x-axis preserves the congruence.

B. Transformation with the rule

(x,y)\rightarrow \left(\dfrac{7}{8}x,\dfrac{7}{8}y\right)

is a dilation with a scale factor of \frac{7}{8} over the origin.

Dilation does not preserve the congruence as you get smaller figure.

C. Transformation with the rule

(x,y)\rightarrow (x+6,y-4)

is a translation 6 units to the right and 4 units down.

Translation 6 units to the right and 4 units down preserves the congruence.

D. Transformation with the rule

(x,y)\rightarrow (y,-x)

is a clockwise rotation by 90^{\circ} angle over the origin.

Clockwise rotation by 90^{\circ} angle over the origin preserves the congruence.

To find a missing side of a right triangle use the Pythagorean theorem
A2+b2=c2
C is the hypotenuse (long side)
Plug into the equation
11^2+b2=12^2
121+b2=144
So subtract 144-121 to get the missing side you get 23
Take the square root
It will be 4.7
If they want it rounded
X=5
If I had any mistakes in my answer I am sorry but everything should be correct
