Answer:

a) 207,360 ways

b)8,709,120  ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of subjects= 3

Number of mathematics books = 4

Number of physics books = 6

Number of chemistry books = 2

Part a:

Number of possible arrangement s= 3! 4! 6! 2!= 6*24*720*2= 207360 ways

In this we have included 3! because the books have to be placed in such a manner that the books in each particular subject must all stand together.

Part b:

Similarly the mathematics books must stand together so they are treated as

The total number of books will be

Physics books + Chemistry books+ Mathematics books= 6+2+1(treated as single) = 9

But there are 4 different mathematics books so these can be arranged in 4 ways.

Total number of ways in which these books can be arranged = 9! 4!= 8709120  ways.

The ordered pairs model an exponential function, where w is the function name and t is the input variable. {(1, 60), (2, 240), (
alexandr1967 [171]
We are given the set of points
<span>{(1, 60), (2, 240), (3, 960), (4, 3840)}{(1, 60), (2, 240), (3, 960), (4, 3840)} 
If w is the function name and t is the input variable, then the equation has the form
w = k a^t
Plugging in any two of the points to solve for k and a
Choosing </span>(1, 60) and (2, 240)<span>
60 = k a
k = 60 / a

240 = k a^2

Substituting
240 = 60/a (a^2)
a = 4
and
k = 60 / 4 = 15

The function is 
w = 15 (4^t)</span>
