(1) From the information given, if we want to choose 5 colors from 8 distinct colors and the order in which the selection is made is relevant, then what we have is a permutation.
The formula is given as;

This formula means we need to select/arrange r items out of a total of n items and the anwer derived would be the total number of arrangements possible.
Therefore, we would have;

Therefore, if the order is relevant, this selection can be done in 6,720 ways.
(2) If the order is NOT relevant, then what we need to calculate is a combination and the formula is;

The formula can now be applied as follows;

If the order is not relevant, then the selection can be done in 56 ways.
Y=2x^3 is nonlinear, since it's a cube equation. y=x+5 is linear, because it's a line with y intercept (0,-5) and slope 1. y=\sqrt(x-5) is nonlinear, because it's a quadratic equation when reversing x and y. 5x+5y=25 is equal to x+y=5 ot y=-x+5, which is also linear. y=x^2/2 is a quadratic equation, so it's nonlinear.
Answer:
The missing statement is ∠ACB ≅ ∠ECD
Step-by-step explanation:
Given two lines segment AC and BD bisect each other at C.
We have to prove that ΔACB ≅ ΔECD
In triangle ACB and ECD
AC=CE (Given)
BC=CD (Given)
Now to prove above two triangles congruent we need one more side or angle
so, as seen in options the angle ∠ACB ≅ ∠ECD due to vertically opposite angles
hence, the missing statement is ∠ACB ≅ ∠ECD
Answer:
The median-median line is a better prediction.
Step-by-step explanation:
Both lines predict a value for x=50 that is less than 60. The median-median line value is closer to 60, so could be considered a better prediction.
