Answer:
In total,
permutations of three items can be selected from a group of six distinct elements.
In particular, there are
ways to order three distinct items.
.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula
gives the number of ways to select and order
items from a group of
distinct elements.
To select and order three items from a group six distinct elements, let
and
. Apply the formula:
.
In other words, there are
unique ways to select and order three items (select a permutation of three items) from a group of six distinct elements.
Consider: what's the number of ways to order three distinct items? That's the same as asking: how many ways are there to select and order three items from a group of three distinct elements? Let
and
. Apply the formula for permutation:
.
To find the permutations, start by selecting one element as the first of the list. A tree diagram might be helpful. Refer to the attachment for an example.
2x + 50 = 7x
50 = 5x
10 = x
2 (10) + 50
20 + 50
70
m<AEB = 70 degrees
14a^2 - 24a + 7 - (11a^2 + 42a - 6)...distribute the negative thru the parenthesis
14a^2 - 24a + 7 - 11a^2 - 42a + 6 =
3a^2 -66a + 13 <==
Looks like a geometric sequence
-15 each time
Hope this help :)
