The total tickets to be purchased to guarantee the win =  504 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Number of entries in the trifecta race = 9

The win is to select the first finisher, second finisher and third finisher in their proper order.

We need to find the number of tickets to be purchased to guarantee the win

Step 2 :

Number of ways to select the first finisher = 9

Number of ways to select the second finisher = 8 [the first is selected and fixed. So the number of available finishes is reduced by 1]

Number of ways to select the third finisher = 7

Hence the total tickets to be purchased to guarantee the win = 9 × 8 × 7 = 504

Step 3 :

Answer :

The total tickets to be purchased to guarantee the win =  504 tickets

A ladder is inclined at only 23 degrees against the wall what the height of the ladder reaches up the wall
maw [93]

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine what the height of the ladder reaches up the wall we need to know the height of ladder which is not provided in the question.

So if I assume the height of ladder to be 10ft( just a general assumption)

Then, inclined ladder, wall and distance been the bottom of the ladder and wall will form a right angle triangle.

where height of ladder will be hypotenuse, height of the ladder reaches up the wall will be perpendicular and distance been the bottom of the ladder and wall will be base.

Since, A ladder is inclined at 23 degrees against the wall

⇒ height of the ladder reaches up the wall  = Height of ladder×sin23°

= 10ft × sin23° = 3.9073 ft

. Write an equation for the line parallel to y = 7x + 11 that contains P(-5, 7).
m_a_m_a [10]
A) x – 7 = -7(6y + 5)

x – 7 = -42y + -35

x – 7 + 35 = -42y

x + 28 = -42y

y = (1/42)x – 14/21

c) y – 7 = 7(x + 5)

y – 7 = 7x + 35

y = 7x + 42

b) y – 7 = -7(x + 5)

y – 7 = -7x -35

y = -7x – 28

d) y + 7 = 7(x + 5)

y + 7 = 7x + 35

y = 7x + 28
