How many ways are there to distribute n graded homeworks to n students such that none of them gets their own homework back?

Yuri [45]

Assume N students

Student 1 can get (n-1) papers
Student 2 can get (n-1) papers
Student 3 can get (n-1) papers
etc
Student N can get (n-1) papers

So for N students you can have N(n-1)

The sides of △FGH are FG = 6 x+ 7, GH = 8x - 5, and FH = 10x - 11. If the perimeter of △FGH is 87, list the angles in order from

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

From largest to smallest: FG, FH, GH

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$FG = 6x + 7$

$GH = 8x - 5$

$FH = 10x - 11$

$Perimeter = 87$

Required

Order the sides in descending order

First, we need to solve for x.

Perimeter of FGH is calculated as thus:

$Perimeter = FG + GH + FH$

Substitute values for FG, GH, FH and Perimeter

$87 = 6x + 7 + 8x - 5 + 10x - 11$

Collect Like Terms

$87 - 7 + 5 + 11= 6x + 8x + 10x$

$96= 24x$

Reorder

$24x = 96$

Divide through by 24

$x = 96/24$

$x = 4$

Substitute 4 for x in FG, GH and FH

$FG = 6x + 7$

$FG = 6 * 4 + 7$

$FG = 24 + 7$

$FG =31$

$GH = 8x - 5$

$GH = 8 * 4 - 5$

$GH = 32 - 5$

$GH = 27$

$FH = 10x - 11$

$FH = 10*4 - 11$

$FH = 40 - 11$

$FH = 29$

In order of arrangement in descending order, we have:

$FG =31$ $FH = 29$ $GH = 27$

Which of the following expressions is equivalent to a3 + b3?

lubasha [3.4K]

ANSWER
${a}^{3} + {b}^{3} = (a + b)( {a}^{2 } - ab + {b}^{2} )$

EXPLANATION

To find the expression that is equivalent to
${a}^{3} + {b}^{3}$
we must first expand
${(a + b)}^{3}$
Then we rearrange to find the required expression.

So let's get started.

${(a + b)}^{3} = (a + b) {(a + b)}^{2}$

We expand the parenthesis on the right hand side to get,

${(a + b)}^{3} = (a + b) ( {a}^{2} + 2ab + {b}^{2} )$

We expand again to obtain,

${(a + b)}^{3} = {a}^{3} + 3 {a}^{2}b + 3a {b}^{2} + {b}^{3}$

Let us group the cubed terms on the right hand side to get,

${(a + b)}^{3} = {a}^{3} + {b}^{3} + 3 {a}^{2}b + 3a {b}^{2}$

${(a + b)}^{3} = {a}^{3} + {b}^{3} + 3ab (a+ b)$

We make the cubed terms the subject,

${(a + b)}^{3} - 3ab (a+ b) = {a}^{3} + {b}^{3}$

We factor to get,

$(a + b)({(a + b)}^{2} - 3ab ) = {a}^{3} + {b}^{3}$

We expand the bracket on the left hand side to get,

$(a + b)( {a}^{2} + 2ab + {b}^{2} - 3ab ) = {a}^{3} + {b}^{3}$

We finally simplify to get,

$(a + b)( {a}^{2} - ab + {b}^{2} ) = {a}^{3} + {b}^{3}$

Sum of 2 and 5 is divided by the difference of 9 and 4 in expression form

Goshia [24]

Answer:

(2 + 5) / (9 - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

"sum of 2 and 5" = (2 + 5)

"difference of 9 and 4" = (9 - 4)

"sum of 2 and 5 is divided by the difference of 9 and 4"

= (2 + 5) / (9 - 4)
