From the setup of the problem, the "length of the top of the bookcase, measured along the attic ceiling" will be the hypotenuse of a right triangle, the length "AB". We have both the angle between AB and AC and the length of AC (3.24 meters), so we can use trigonometric identities.
The cosine of the 40 degree angle between AB and AC is equivalent to the length of AC divided by the length of AB. Equivalently, we have:

where "h", the hypotenuse, is the length we want. Rearranging the formula to solve for h we have that

which is 4.2295... meters. Converting to centimeters (multiplying by 100) we have that h = 422.95... centimeters, or if we round the value, h = 423 centimeters.
A combination is an unordered arrangement of r distinct objects in a set of n objects. To find the number of permutations, we use the following equation:
n!/((n-r)!r!)
In this case, there could be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or all 5 cards discarded. There is only one possible combination each for 0 or 5 cards being discarded (either none of them or all of them). We will be the above equation to find the number of combination s for 1, 2, 3, and 4 discarded cards.
5!/((5-1)!1!) = 5!/(4!*1!) = (5*4*3*2*1)/(4*3*2*1*1) = 5
5!/((5-2)!2!) = 5!/(3!2!) = (5*4*3*2*1)/(3*2*1*2*1) = 10
5!/((5-3)!3!) = 5!/(2!3!) = (5*4*3*2*1)/(2*1*3*2*1) = 10
5!/((5-4)!4!) = 5!/(1!4!) = (5*4*3*2*1)/(1*4*3*2*1) = 5
Notice that discarding 1 or discarding 4 have the same number of combinations, as do discarding 2 or 3. This is being they are inverses of each other. That is, if we discard 2 cards there will be 3 left, or if we discard 3 there will be 2 left.
Now we add together the combinations
1 + 5 + 10 + 10 + 5 + 1 = 32 choices combinations to discard.
The answer is 32.
-------------------------------
Note: There is also an equation for permutations which is:
n!/(n-r)!
Notice it is very similar to combinations. The only difference is that a permutation is an ORDERED arrangement while a combination is UNORDERED.
We used combinations rather than permutations because the order of the cards does not matter in this case. For example, we could discard the ace of spades followed by the jack of diamonds, or we could discard the jack or diamonds followed by the ace of spades. These two instances are the same combination of cards but a different permutation. We do not care about the order.
I hope this helps! If you have any questions, let me know :)

Answer:
the x intercept is -4
Step-by-step explanation:
to find the x intercept, set y = 0 and solve for x
y = 5x+20
0 = 5x+20
subtract 20 from each side
-20 = 5x +20 -20
-20 = 5x
divide each side by 5
-20/5 = 5x/5
-4 =x
