Answer:
d. 20
Step-by-step explanation:
The given question implies 5 permutation 2, i.e 
.
But,

= 
So that for 
, n = 5 and r = 2.

= 
= 
= 
Cancel out 3 and 2 with respect to the numerator and denominator.

= 5 * 4
= 20
Therefore,

= 20
So that the correct option is D.
Answer:
A. 7,348
Step-by-step explanation:
P = le^kt
intitial population = 500
time = 4 hrs
end population = 3,000
So we have all these variables and we need to solve for what the end population will be if we change the time to 6 hours. First, we need to find the rate of the growth(k) so we can plug it back in. The given formula shows a exponencial growth formula. (A = Pe^rt) A is end amount, P is start amount, e is a constant that you can probably find on your graphing calculator, r is the rate, and t is time.
A = Pe^rt
3,000 = 500e^r4
now we can solve for r
divide both sides by 500
6 = e^r4
now because the variable is in the exponent, we have to use a log

ln(6) = 4r
we can plug the log into a calculator to get
1.79 = 4r
divide both sides by 4
r = .448
now lets plug it back in
A = 500e^(.448)(6 hrs)
A = 7351.12
This is closest to answer A. 7,348
It is negative six because down three is -3 so 3+3 =6 but the numbers are negative so the answer is -6
We can simplify it a bit
oh wait,
remember taht x^0=1, no matter what x is
we see the whole thing is to the zero power
the whole thing is equal to 1
doesn't matter what x or y is
the whole thing evaluates to 1
