For the given situation we have a total of 259,459,200 permutations.
<h3>
How many permutations are?</h3>
First, how we know that it is a permutation?
Because the order matters, we aren't only selecting 8 out of the 15 people, but these 8 selected also have an order (is not the same thing to finish the race first than fourth, for example).
Then we need to find the number of permutations, to do it, we need to find the numbers of options for each of the 8 positions.
- For the first position there are 15 options.
- For the second position ther are 14 options (one runner already finished).
- For the third position there are 13 options.
- And so on.
Then the total number of permutations (product between the numbers of options) is:
P = 15*14*13*12*11*10*9*8 = 259,459,200

Answer: No it is not.
Step-by-step explanation: A rational number is a number that can easily be expressed as a fraction or decimal, and square root of 7 cannot be easily expressed.
Answer:
The inverse is 1/3 (x+1)
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 3x-1
Exchange x and y
x = 3y-1
Solve for y
Add 1 to each side
x+1 = 3y-1+1
x+1 = 3y
Divide each side by 3
(x+1)/3 = 3y/3
1/3(x+1) =y
The inverse is 1/3 (x+1)
Let x be the number of 5 points question.
Let y be the number of 2 points question.
Total number of questions is 38
x + y = 38
Total points is 100
5x + 2y = 100
x + y = 38 ------------- (1)
5x + 2y = 100 ---------(2)
From (1):
x + y = 38
x = 38 - y -------------- sub into (2)
5(38 - y) + 2y = 100
190 - 5y + 2y = 100
3y = 90
y = 30 ------------------ sub into (1)
x + 30 = 38
x = 38 - 30
x = 8
There are 8 5-point questions and 30 2-point questions
