Let's call the stamps A, B, and C. They can each be used only once. I assume all 3 must be used in each possible arrangement.
There are two ways to solve this. We can list each possible arrangement of stamps, or we can plug in the numbers to a formula.
Let's find all possible arrangements first. We can easily start spouting out possible arrangements of the 3 stamps, but to make sure we find them all, let's go in alphabetical order. First, let's look at the arrangements that start with A:
ABC
ACB
There are no other ways to arrange 3 stamps with the first stamp being A. Let's look at the ways to arrange them starting with B:
BAC
BCA
Try finding the arrangements that start with C:
C_ _
C_ _
Or we can try a little formula; y×(y-1)×(y-2)×(y-3)...until the (y-x) = 1 where y=the number of items.
In this case there are 3 stamps, so y=3, and the formula looks like this: 3×(3-1)×(3-2).
Confused? Let me explain why it works.
There are 3 possibilities for the first stamp: A, B, or C.
There are 2 possibilities for the second space: The two stamps that are not in the first space.
There is 1 possibility for the third space: the stamp not used in the first or second space.
So the number of possibilities, in this case, is 3×2×1.
We can see that the number of ways that 3 stamps can be attached is the same regardless of method used.
Answer:
y=-9x-4
Step-by-step explanation:
Perpendicular lines meet the following condition:
m2*m1= -1 (a)
where m is the slope of a line
m1 is given through equation of line 1, y =1/9 x+2
m2 must be -9 -> from eq. (a)
The Line has the following equation: y=mx+b, where m=-9 and the b is the interception with y axis.
Evaluating the above equation in (-1,5) we have the following equation
5= -9*(-1)+b, we have b=-4
The line has the following equation
y=-9x-4
Slope intercept form
Answer:
c.
Step-by-step explanation:
So df = 8 so then 2x-6=8 which means that x is 7
Answer:
We conclude that the slope of the graph of y = 5 x is 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the slope-intercept form of the line equation
y = mx+b
where
Given the line
y = 5x
comparing with the slope-intercept form of the line equation
The slope of the line = m = 5
Therefore, we conclude that the slope of the graph of y = 5 x is 5.
