Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of different ways she can stack 3 of them in a tower, we need to use the formula:

$_{n}P_{k}=\dfrac{n!}{(n-k)!}$

n = 4

k = 3

$_{n}P_{k}=\dfrac{4!}{(4-3)!}$

$_{n}P_{k}=\dfrac{4!}{1!}$

$_{n}P_{k}=\dfrac{4*3*2*1!}{(1)!}$

$_{n}P_{k}=\dfrac{4*3*2*1!}{1}$

$_{n}P_{k}=\dfrac{24}{1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallelogram is a flat shape that has four sides. The two sets of opposite sides are parallel and of equal length to each other.

To prove that our figure is a parallelogram we first get the slope of our sides.

The formule we use to get the slope is:

m = $\frac{y-y1}{x-x1}$

first we have the W-Z side that it's supossed to be parallel to X-Y side

if we use our formule to calculate the slope of W-Z:

$\frac{6-(-2)}{-1-(-2)}$ = $\frac{8}{1}$ = 8

if we use our formule to calculate the slope of X-Y:

$\frac{8-0}{2-1}$ = $\frac{8}{1}$ = 8

We know that parallel lines will never intersect because they have the same slope, therefore W-Z side is parallel to X-Y side

2. Then we have the W-X side that it's supossed to be parallel to Z-Y side

if we use our formule to calculate the slope of W-X:

$\frac{6-8}{-1-2}$ = $\frac{-2}{-3}$

if we use our formule to calculate the slope of Z-Y:

$\frac{-2-0}{-2-1}$ = $\frac{-2}{-3}$

We know that parallel lines will never intersect because they have the same slope, therefore W-X side is parallel to Z-Y side

Then we have to prove that the parallalel sides are equal length to each other.

The formule we use to get the distance between two points is:

$\sqrt{(x2-x1)^{2}+(y2-y1)^{2} }$

We calculate the lenght of the W-Z side that it's supossed to be equal to X-Y side:

W-Z = $\sqrt{(-1-(-2))^{2}+(6-(-2))^{2} }$ = $\sqrt{65}$

X-Y = $\sqrt{(2-1)^{2}+(8-0)^{2} }$ = $\sqrt{65}$

So the W-Z side have the same lenght to X-Y side.

We calculate the lenght of the W-X side that it's supossed to be equal to Z-Y side:

W-X = $\sqrt{(-1-2)^{2}+(6-8)^{2} }$ = $\sqrt{13}$

Z-Y = $\sqrt{(-2-1)^{2}+(-2-0)^{2} }$ = $\sqrt{13}$

So the W-X side have the same lenght to Z-Y side.

Instructions:Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. Match each polynomial function with one of its factors.

Svetach [21]

We have the following functions:
f (x) = x3 - 3x2 - 13x + 15
f (x) = x4 + 3x3 - 8x2 + 5x - 25
f (x) = x3 - 2x2 - x + 2
f (x) = -x3 + 13x - 12
Factoring we have:
f (x) = x3 - 3x2 - 13x + 15 -------> x + 3
f (x) = x4 + 3x3 - 8x2 + 5x - 25 -> x + 5
f (x) = x3 - 2x2 - x + 2 ------------> x - 2
f (x) = -x3 + 13x - 12 -------------> x + 4
