A combination is an unordered arrangement of r distinct objects in a set of n objects. To find the number of permutations, we use the following equation:
n!/((n-r)!r!)
In this case, there could be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or all 5 cards discarded. There is only one possible combination each for 0 or 5 cards being discarded (either none of them or all of them). We will be the above equation to find the number of combination s for 1, 2, 3, and 4 discarded cards.
5!/((5-1)!1!) = 5!/(4!*1!) = (5*4*3*2*1)/(4*3*2*1*1) = 5
5!/((5-2)!2!) = 5!/(3!2!) = (5*4*3*2*1)/(3*2*1*2*1) = 10
5!/((5-3)!3!) = 5!/(2!3!) = (5*4*3*2*1)/(2*1*3*2*1) = 10
5!/((5-4)!4!) = 5!/(1!4!) = (5*4*3*2*1)/(1*4*3*2*1) = 5
Notice that discarding 1 or discarding 4 have the same number of combinations, as do discarding 2 or 3. This is being they are inverses of each other. That is, if we discard 2 cards there will be 3 left, or if we discard 3 there will be 2 left.
Now we add together the combinations
1 + 5 + 10 + 10 + 5 + 1 = 32 choices combinations to discard.
The answer is 32.
-------------------------------
Note: There is also an equation for permutations which is:
n!/(n-r)!
Notice it is very similar to combinations. The only difference is that a permutation is an ORDERED arrangement while a combination is UNORDERED.
We used combinations rather than permutations because the order of the cards does not matter in this case. For example, we could discard the ace of spades followed by the jack of diamonds, or we could discard the jack or diamonds followed by the ace of spades. These two instances are the same combination of cards but a different permutation. We do not care about the order.
I hope this helps! If you have any questions, let me know :)
Answer:
72 + 8x
you would multiply 8 by 9 + x
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Here time (t) is the independent variable; power (p) is the dependent one.
The graph of p = 100 - 4t is a straight line with slope -4. 100 is the vertical intercept. Battery power begins at 100 and steadily decreases after that.
Answer:
4 times large
Step-by-step explanation:
say x is 2 the it would be 2 times 2 for cube a and that would be 4
and if x was 2 the it would be 2 times 2 for the side length ant that would be 4
and 4 times 4 is 16
16 is 4 times larger then 4
Exact Area = 98pi
Approximate Area = 307.8760800518 (use calculator stored version of pi)
Approximate Area = 307.72 (using pi = 3.14)
Units are in square millimeters
======================================================
Explanation:
In 60 seconds, the hand sweeps out a full circle of radius 14. The area of this circle is
A = pi*r^2 = pi*14^2 = 196pi
Half of this is what the hand sweeps out in 30 seconds, so A/2 = (196pi)/2 = 98pi is the exact area it sweeps out. Your calculator would then show 98pi = 307.8760800518 approximately
If instead you use pi = 3.14, then the approximate area is 98*3.14 = 307.72
