Twelve athletes are running a race. A gold medal is to be given to the winner, a silver medal is to be given to the second-place

finisher, and a bronze medal is to be given to the third-place finisher. Assume that there are no ties. In how many possible ways can the 3 medals be distributed?

Answer:

1320

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Total number of athelets are running in race=12

Total number of medals =3

We have to find the total possible number of ways can the 3 medals be distributed.

Total number of ways for choosen gold medal=12

Number of ways for choosen silver medal=11

Number of ways for choosen Bronze medal=10

Total number of possible ways=12\times 11\times 10=1320

Hence, total number of possible ways in which  3 medals be distributed=1320

X is equal 25 degrees. Line ac goes though the parallel lines. So bcd is x. Cdb is 180-50 equals 130. All angles add to 180. 180-130 equals 2X. So x equals 25.

find the standard form of equation of a line perpendicular to 4X plus 5Y equals 40 that includes the point -10, -3
snow_tiger [21]

The equation of line in standard form is 5x - 4y = -38

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that we have to find the equation of line perpendicular to 4x + 5y = 40 that includes the point (-10, -3)

<em><u>The equation of line in slope intercept form is given as:</u></em>

y = mx + c ------ eqn 1

Where "m" is the slope of line and "c" is the y - intercept

Given equation of line is:

4x + 5y = 40

Rearranging to slope intercept form, we get

5y = -4x + 40

y = \frac{-4}{5}x + \frac{40}{5}\\\\y = \frac{-4}{5}x + 8

On comparing the above equation with eqn 1,

m = \frac{-4}{5}

We know that product of slope of line and slope of line perpendicular to given line is equal to -1

Therefore,

\frac{-4}{5} \times \text{ slope of line perpendicular to it } = -1\\\\\text{ slope of line perpendicular to it } = \frac{5}{4}

Now find the equation of line with slope 5/4 and passing through (-10, -3)

Substitute m = \frac{5}{4} and (x, y) = (-10, -3) in eqn 1

-3 = \frac{5}{4}(-10) + c\\\\-3 = \frac{-25}{2} + c\\\\c = -3 + \frac{25}{2}\\\\c = \frac{-6 + 25}{2}\\\\c = \frac{19}{2}

Substitute c = \frac{19}{2} and m = \frac{5}{4} in eqn 1

y = \frac{5}{4}x + \frac{19}{2}

The standard form of an equation is Ax + By = C

Therefore,

\frac{5}{4}x - y = -\frac{19}{2}\\\\\frac{5x - 4y}{4} = \frac{-19}{2}\\\\5x - 4y = -38

Thus the equation of line in standard form is found

What is the inverse and domain of f(x)=x^2+4
Allushta [10]
The domain of the inverse of a function is the range of the original function

so find the range of f(x)
this is lowest to highest
we got the vertex is at (0,4)
and it goes to infinity
so range is from 4 to infinity

inverse
replace f(x) with y
switch x and y
solve for y
replace y with finverse

f(x)=x^2+4
y=x^2+4
x=y^2+4
x-4=y^2
y=√(x-4)
f⁻¹(x)=√(x-4)

inverse is f⁻¹(x)=√(x-4)
the domain is x≥4
