Four students are competing in a race. In how many different combinations could the four students place in the race?

1 answer:

4 0

"Combinations" isn't really the right word, because a combination doesn't take order of elements into account, and the outcome of a race certainly does depend on order. "Permutations" would be the correct term.

If 4 students are competing, then the race has

4! = 4 • 3 • 2 • 1 = 24

possible outcomes.

Oliga [24]

Answer:
42

Explanation:
Using Order of Operations, we have to evaluate the exponent first:
27 + 6(2 + 3/6)

Simplifying the fraction, we have:
27 + 6(2 + 0.5)

Add the values inside the parenthesis:
27 + 6(2.5)

Multiply:
27 + 15

Add:
42

The angle of elevation to the top of a 30 story skyscraper is measured to be 3 degrees from a point on the ground 2,000 feet fro

Leto [7]

You have an angle of elevation of 3 degrees and you're 2000 ft from base of 30 story building.
Draw a picture of this. Then tan(3) = ht of bldg/2000 
I get a height of 104.82 ft rounded to 2 dp. 

5. Ok. use the Pythagorean Theorem here to find the hypotenuse of the right triangle 
hypt = sqrt(50^2 + 9^2) 
Now sine of the angle of elevation is 50/hypt. = 0.984 or 0.98 to 2 dp.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I used KCC. It is a method when you keep you 1st # the same, change subtraction to addition and then change the last # to its opposite. So after KCC, the equation would be -7/10 + 4/15
