<h3>Answer:</h3>

There are 40,320 ways, in which 8 books can be arranged on a shelf.

<h3>Solution:</h3>

Here, we are to find the number of ways in which 8 books can be arranged on a shelf. The total number of books is 8 and the way of arranging books is also 8.

  • If one book is placed in the first place, then 7 books will be placed in front of it. If 2 books are placed in the 2nd place, then only 6 books can be placed after that book. This sequence will continue till 1 .

<u>Permutations </u><u>:</u>

  • A permutation is an arrangement of objects in a definite order.

➲<u> P ( n, r )= n ! / ( n - r ) !</u>

  • n = total number of objects

  • r = number of objects selected

The number of ways to arrange 8 books on a shelf will be :

➝ P ( n, r ) = n ! / ( n - r ) !

➝ P ( n, r ) = 8 ! / ( 8 - 8 ) !

➝ P ( n, r ) = 8 ! / 0 !

➝ P ( n, r ) = 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 / 1

➝ P ( n, r ) = 40, 320

‎ㅤ‎ㅤ‎ㅤ‎ㅤ‎ㅤ‎ㅤ~ Hence, there are <u>40,320 ways</u> in which 8 books can be arranged on a shelf !

valkas [14]


Answer: 4%-16000 and 9.5%-30000

Why:

1) x+y=46000

x=46000-y

2) 4%x+9,5%y=3490;

4x + 9.5y=349000; so 4*(46000-y)+9.5y=349000;

5.5y=165000

y=30000

x=46000-30000=16000

What is the slope between the points (5,-4) and (-3,4) <br> -1<br> 4<br> 0<br> 1
kumpel [21]

Answer:

The answer is -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to apply gradient formula :

m =  \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}

So you will have to substitute the coordinates into the equation. Let (x1,y1) be (-3,4) and (x2,y2) be (5,-4) :

m =  \frac{ - 4 - 4}{5 - ( - 3)}

m =  \frac{ - 8}{8}

m =  - 1
