Consider a melody to be 7 notes from a single piano octave, where 2 of the notes are white key notes and 5 are black key notes.

Notes can be repeated. How many melodies are possible if the 5 black notes cannot all be "adjacent" in the melody? Adjacent in this context meaning not adjacent on the piano keyboard but occurring without white notes between them. For example, while the pattern WWBBBBB is not allowed, the pattern WBWBBBB is.

Answer:

35,829,630 melodies

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 12 half-steps in an octave and therefore 12^7 arrangements of 7 notes if there were no stipulations.

Using complimentary counting, subtract the inadmissible arrangements from 12^7 to get the number of admissible arrangements.

\displaystyle \_\_ \:B_1\_\_ \:B_2\_\_ \:B_3\_\_ \:B_4\_\_ \:B_5\_\_

B_1 can be any note, giving us 12 options. Whatever note we choose, B_2, B_{...} must match it, yielding 12\cdot 1\cdot 1\cdot 1\cdot 1=12. For the remaining two white key notes, W_1 and W_2, we have 11 options for each (they can be anything but the note we chose for the black keys).

There are three possible arrangements of white key groups and black key groups that are inadmissible:

WWBBBBB\\WBBBBBW\\BBBBBWW

White key notes can be different, so a distinct arrangement of them will be considered a distinct melody. With 11 notes to choose from per white key, the number of ways to inadmissibly arrange the white keys is \displaystyle\frac{11\cdot 11}{2!}.

Therefore, the number of admissible arrangements is:

\displaystyle 12^7-3\left(\frac{12\cdot 11\cdot 11}{2!}\right)=\boxed{35,829,630}

Answer:

The other two angles are 75° and 125°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let three angles are 2x, 3x and 5x.

The smallest angle is 50.

It means,

2x = 50

x = 25

So,

3x = 3(25) = 75°

5x = 5(25) = 125°

So, the other two angles are 75° and 125°.

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! I NEED CORRECT ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE!!! I NEED TO FINISH THESE QUESTIONS BEFORE MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.

Answer:

The answer to your question is VW = 2.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

angle = 63°

hypotenuse = ?

adjacent side = 1

Process

To solve this problem use trigonometric functions, the trigonometric function that relates the adjacent side and the hypotenuse is cosine.

        cos α = \frac{adjacent side}{hypotenuse}

solve for hypotenuse

        hypotenuse = \frac{adjacent side}{cos \alpha}

Substitution

        hypotenuse = \frac{1}{cos 63}

Simplification

         hypotenuse = \frac{1}{0.45}

Result

         hypotenuse = 2.2

marissa [1.9K]
I think it would be easy to find it because its 30 feet away and even if he didn't know his feet he could always leave rocks/pebbles to the treasure so he won't lose it.

What is the equation of the line that goes through the points (1,2) and (2,1)?
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

y = -x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two points so we can find the slope

m =(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    (1-2)/(2-1)

    -1/1

 The slope is -1

We can use the slope intercept form of the equation

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -x+b

Substitute a point into the equation to find b

2 = -1 +b

Add 1 to each side

2+1 =-1+1 +b

3 =b

y = -x+3
