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

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

d : [ 0 , 26 ]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

- The oranges produced last year, x = 36

- The oranges produced this year, y < 10

Find:-

What are the possible values for how many fewer oranges were produced from the tree this year

Solution:-

- The possible values for how many fewer oranges were produced this year relative to last can be determined by solving an inequality that signifies a difference (d) between last year and this year production as follows:

                                 d = x - y

                                 d = 36 - (<10)

- To remove the inequality from Right hand side we we can shift it to left hand side by inverting the inequality sig, since last production is exactly known we have:

                                d≥36 - 10

                                d≥ 26

- So the number of oranges produced are at least 26 less than last year and lower bound would be if there is no orange produced this year. Hence, the range is:

                               d : [ 0 , 26 ]

Simply the given expression below
maxonik [38]

Answer: the first one -2+5i

Step-by-step explanation: because if we just take out the parenthesis the we can do it like a regular equation so 6-8 is -2 and 2i - -3i the 2 negatives gives us a positive so we get 2i+3i and get 5i so the equation would be -2+5i
