There are 50 runners in a race. How many ways can the runners finish first, second, and third?

Dmitrij [34]

Number of ways can the runners finish first, second, and third is 1,17,600 .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Permutation is the act of arranging the members of a set into a sequence or order, or, if the set is already ordered, rearranging (reordering) its elements—a process called permuting. For example, written as tuples, there are six permutations of the set {1,2,3}, namely: (1,2,3), (1,3,2), (2,1,3), (2,3,1), (3,1,2), and (3,2,1). Formula of Permutation is : $P(n,r) = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}$ where n is the number of things to choose from, and we choose r of them, no repetitions, order matters. Here , n = 50 , r= 3

⇒ $P(n,r) = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}$

⇒ $P(50,3) = \frac{50!}{(50-3)!} = \frac{50(49)(48)47!}{47!}$

⇒ $P(50,3) = 50(49)(48)$

⇒ $P(50,3) = 1,17,600$

∴ Number of ways can the runners finish first, second, and third is 1,17,600 .

Given the function f(x)=x^2-8x+13f(x)=x, determine the average rate of change of the function over the interval −1≤x≤6.

Ann [662]

Given:

Consider the given function is:

$f(x)=x^2-8x+13$

To find:

The average rate of change of the function over the interval $-1\leq x\leq 6$ .

Solution:

The average rate of change of the function f(x) over the interval [a,b] is:

$m=\dfrac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1}$

We have,

$f(x)=x^2-8x+13$

At $x=-1$ ,

$f(-1)=(-1)^2-8(-1)+13$

$f(-1)=1+8+13$

$f(-1)=22$

At $x=6$ ,

$f(6)=(6)^2-8(6)+13$

$f(6)=36-48+13$

$f(6)=1$

Now, the average rate of change of the function f(x) over the interval $-1\leq x\leq 6$ is:

$m=\dfrac{f(6)-f(-1)}{6-(-1)}$

$m=\dfrac{1-22}{7}$

$m=\dfrac{-21}{7}$

$m=-3$

Therefore, the average rate of change of the function f(x) over the interval $-1\leq x\leq 6$ is -3.

Error Analysis: George was trying to rearrange the formula below to slope-intercept form, y = mx + b. by

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

George's mistake would be:

Instead of 2x + 40, she has made - x + 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope - Intercept Form = y = mx + b

y + 20 = 2(x +20)

y + 20 = 2x + 40

- 20 - 20

----------------------

y = 2x + 20

(Should have been the answer)

BUT,

George's Solving:

y + 20 = 2(x + 20)

y + 20 = -x + 20

George's Mistake would be her miscalculation during her 2nd step. Where instead of distributing 2 to (x + 20), she has changed it to -x + 20, when in reality, it should have been 2x + 40.
