Let's call the stamps A, B, and C. They can each be used only once. I assume all 3 must be used in each possible arrangement.
There are two ways to solve this. We can list each possible arrangement of stamps, or we can plug in the numbers to a formula.
Let's find all possible arrangements first. We can easily start spouting out possible arrangements of the 3 stamps, but to make sure we find them all, let's go in alphabetical order. First, let's look at the arrangements that start with A:
ABC
ACB
There are no other ways to arrange 3 stamps with the first stamp being A. Let's look at the ways to arrange them starting with B:
BAC
BCA
Try finding the arrangements that start with C:
C_ _
C_ _
Or we can try a little formula; y×(y-1)×(y-2)×(y-3)...until the (y-x) = 1 where y=the number of items.
In this case there are 3 stamps, so y=3, and the formula looks like this: 3×(3-1)×(3-2).
Confused? Let me explain why it works.
There are 3 possibilities for the first stamp: A, B, or C.
There are 2 possibilities for the second space: The two stamps that are not in the first space.
There is 1 possibility for the third space: the stamp not used in the first or second space.
So the number of possibilities, in this case, is 3×2×1.
We can see that the number of ways that 3 stamps can be attached is the same regardless of method used.
Answer:
Marilee wants to earn an "A" in a class and needs an overall average of at least Her test grades are 88 , 92,100 , and 80 . The average of her quizzes is 90 and counts as one test grade. The final exam counts as 2.5 test grades. What scores on the final exam would result in Marilee's overall average of 92 or greater? (See Example 9
Answer:
1.25 because when in a calculator i add 1.25% i subtract 300 and that is all that is left.
Using exponential function concepts, it is found that the second function has a greater rate, as 0.8 > 0.2.
<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>
It is modeled by:
In which:
- a is the initial value, that is, y when x = 0.
- b is the rate of change, as a decimal.
Function 1 is given by:
Hence the rate is b = 0.2.
Considering the values on the table, function 2 is given by:
Hence the rate is b = 0.8.
Hence, the second function has a greater rate, as 0.8 > 0.2.
