There are 26 letters in the alphabet.

1st letter can be 1 of 26

2nd letter can be 1 of 25

3rd letter can be 1 of 24

4th letter can be 1 of 23

Total combinations = 26 x 25 x 24 x 23 = 358,800

Answer:

solution given:

total alphabet =26

The first letter can be any one of the 26 letters in the alphabet.

so

1st word =26letter

since no word is repeated

2nd word =25letter

3rd word=24letter

4th word=23letter

so

four-letter code =26×25×25×23=<u>3</u><u>5</u><u>8</u><u>8</u><u>0</u><u>0</u><u>c</u><u>o</u><u>d</u><u>e</u><u>s</u>

so

<u>358800codes </u><u> </u> <u>of</u> four-letter codes can be made if no letter can be used twice.

The function f(x) varies directly with x, and f(x) = 45 when x = 9.
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Option C = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

In principle when a function <em>f(x) </em>varies directly with <em>x</em> it suggests that any changes in x results in the equivalent changes in<em> f(x)</em>. If we have two variables, i.e. <em>y</em> representing<em> f(x)</em> and <em>x</em> representing itself, any increment/decrement in <em>x</em> will result to the same increment/decrement in <em>y</em> by a factor <em>a, thus we can say that y = ax, implying y and x have the same ratio. </em>

In the given question we know that <em>f(x) = 45</em> when x=9<em>, </em>which translates as

f(x=9) = 45

This tells us that f(x) varies by a factor (lets call it) a for a given value of x.

To find this factor we can just divide 45 with 9 which gives: \frac{45}{9} = 5

Thus the factor a here is a=5 which finally tells us that

f(x) = 5x    Eqn (1) our original function.

Since we now know our function we can plug in the value for x=3 and solve for f(x=3) as follow:

f(x=3)= 5*3

f(x=3) = 15

f(3) = 15

Looking at the given options in the question we can conclude that the correct answer is Option C = 15

A camper wants to know the width of a river. From point A, he walks downstream 60 feet to point B and sights a canoe across the
Anarel [89]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The correct option is:

D. 40 feet.

<h2>Why?</h2>

To solve the problem and calculate the width of the river, we need to assume that the distance from A to B and the angle formed between that distance and the distance from A to the other point (C) is equal to 90°, meaning that we are working with a right triangle, also, we need to use the given angle which is equal to 34°. So, to solve the problem we can use the following trigonometric relation:

Tan\alpha =\frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}

Where,

alpha is the given angle, 34°

Adjacent is the distance from A to B, which is equal to 60 feet.

Opposite is the distance from A to C which is also equal to the width of the river.

So, substituting and calculating we have:

Tan(34\°) =\frac{Width}{60ft}

Width=60ft*Tan(34\°)=60ft*0.67=40.2ft=40ft

Hence, we have that the correct option is:

D. 40 feet.

Have a nice day!
