The answers are:
P(9, 2) = 72
P(5, 5) = 120
P(7, 7) = 5040
These are examples of permutations. The problems are asking us to find the total number of ways an event can happen.
In the first case, P(9, 2), we are asked to find the ways that 2 things can be chosen out of a group of 9.
9 x 8 = 72
P(5, 5) = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
P(7, 7) = 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
Answer:
George's mistake would be:
Instead of 2x + 40, she has made - x + 20.
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope - Intercept Form = y = mx + b
y + 20 = 2(x +20)
y + 20 = 2x + 40
- 20 - 20
----------------------
y = 2x + 20
(Should have been the answer)
BUT,
George's Solving:
y + 20 = 2(x + 20)
y + 20 = -x + 20
George's Mistake would be her miscalculation during her 2nd step. Where instead of distributing 2 to (x + 20), she has changed it to -x + 20, when in reality, it should have been 2x + 40.
A rhombus has four equal sides. If the perimeter of this rhombus is 164, then the length of one side is 164/4, or 41.
Draw this rhombus. Label all four sides with "41." Label the longer diagonal 80 and the half length of that diagonal 40. You will see inside the rhombus four congruent triangles with hypotenuse 41, leg 10 and unknown height. Thus, this unknown height is found by solving x^2 + 40^2 = 41^2, and x^2=9, so that the length of the shorter diagonal is 2(2) = 18 (answer).
Answer: 29 feet from across the kitchen to one hole to the other.
- abc + 7abc - 3bc - 8abc
= 6abc - 3bc - 8bc
= -2abs - 3bc
Therefore
- 2abc - 3bc.
