Members from 6 different school organizations decorated floats for the homecoming parade. How many different ways can first, second, and third prize be awarded?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:  120 different ways

=======================================================

Explanation:

There are...

6 ways to select the first place winner5 ways to pick the second place winner4 ways to pick the third place winner

We start with 6, and count down by 1 each time we fill up a slot. We stop once the third slot is filled or accounted for. The countdown is to ensure that we don't pick the same person twice. From here, multiply those values: 6*5*4 = 30*4 = 120

Interestingly, this is equal to 5! = 5*4*3*2*1 = 120 because the 3*2 becomes 6 and that *1 at the end doesn't affect things. Though usually results of permutation problems don't always end up like this. The order matters because a result like ABC is different from BAC, where A,B,C,D,E,F are the six school organizations.

As a slightly longer way to do the problem, you can use the nPr formula which is [tex]_nP_r = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}[/tex] where n = 6 and r = 3 in this case. The exclamation marks indicate factorial. If you go this route, you should find that one of the steps will involve 6*5*4.

To which rational number to which rational subset(s) does the following number belong?
15
1. Rational Numbers
II. Natural Numbers
III. Whole Numbers
IV. Integers

Answers

Answer:

15 belongs to the set of natural numbers , whole numbers , integers & rational numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

TO FIND :-

those subsets to which 15 belongs

FACTS TO KNOW BEFORE SOLVING :-

N = Set of all natural numbers

W = Set of all whole numbers

Z = Set of all integers

Q = Set of all rational numbers

It can be said that :-

N ⊂ W (∵ Whole numbers include all natural numbers along with 0)W ⊂ Z (∵ Integers include positive numbers i.e. whole numbers along with negative numbers.)Z ⊂ Q (∵ Rational numbers include all integers along with fractions.)

Hence , N ⊂ W ⊂ Z ⊂ Q

SOLUTION :-

Method 1 -

{15} ⊂ N (∵ 15 is an element of set N. {15} a singleton set & it can be called as the subset of N )

⇒ {15} ⊂ N ⊂ W ⊂ Z ⊂ Q

∴ 15 belongs to the set of natural numbers , whole numbers , integers & rational numbers too.

Method 2 -

A rational number is a number which can be expressed in "p/q" form where p,q are integers & q ≠ 0. 15 can also be expressed as [tex]\frac{15}{1}[/tex]. Hence, 15 is a rational number i.e. it belongs to the set of rational numbers.Natural numbers are the countable numbers. 15 is a countable number. So , 15 is a natural number i.e. 15 belongs to the set of natural numbersWhole numbers include all natural numbers as well as zero. 15 is a natural number. So , 15 is also a whole number i.e. 15 belongs to the set of whole numbers.Integers include the negative numbers as well as whole numbers. 15 is a whole number. So , 15 is also an integer i.e. 15 belongs to the set of all integers.

At time, t greater than or equal to 0, a particle moving in the xy plane has velocity vector given by v(t)=(t^2, 5t) What is the acceleration vector of the particle at time t=3?"

Answers

Answer:

The acceleration vector of the particle at time t=3 is (6,5).

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration:

The acceleration is the derivative of the velocity.

Derivative of a vector:

To derivate a vector, we derive each component.

v(t)=(t^2, 5t)

So

a(t) = v'(t) = (2t, 5).

What is the acceleration vector of the particle at time t=3?

a(3) = (2*3, 5) = (6,5)

The acceleration vector of the particle at time t=3 is (6,5).

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

The figure given shows two triangles.: ∆ADB has two equal base angles while ∆BCD has three equal angles. Therefore, based on their angles, we can conclude that:

∆ADB is an isosceles triangle

∆BCD is an equilateral triangle

Before we add up he outside lengths of Quadrilateral ABCD to find the perimeter, let's recall three properties of each triangle:

Isosceles triangle:

-Has two equal base angles

-The two sides opposite the two equal base angles are also equal to each other

-the their side (base) is unequal to the other

Equilateral triangle:

-Has three equal angles

-Has three equal sides

-Each angle measures 60°

Using these properties, we can determine the outside lengths of quadrilateral ABCD:

AB = 21 (given)

AD = 17 (given)

AD = BD = 17 (equal sides of ∆ADB)

BD = 17

BD = BC = CD = 17 (properties of equilateral triangle)

BC = 17

CD = 17

✔️Perimeter of Quadrilateral ABCD = AB + BC + CD + AD = 21 + 17 + 17 + 17

Perimeter = 72 units

A rectangle has an area of 19.38 cm2. When both the length and width of the rectangle are increased by 1.50 cm, the area of the rectangle becomes 35.28 cm2. Calculate the length of the longer of the two sides of the initial rectangle.

Answers

Answer: [tex]5.7\ cm[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Rectangle has an area of [tex]19.38\ cm^2[/tex]

Suppose rectangle length and width are [tex]l[/tex] and [tex]w[/tex]

If each side is increased by [tex]1.50\ cm[/tex]

Area becomes [tex]A_2=35.28\ cm^2[/tex]

We can write

[tex]\Rightarrow lw=19.38\quad \ldots(i)\\\\\Rightarrow (l+1.5)(w+1.5)=35.28\\\Rightarrow lw+1.5(l+w)+1.5^2=35.28\\\text{use (i) for}\ lw\\\Rightarrow 19.38+1.5(l+w)=35.28-2.25\\\Rightarrow l+w=9.1\quad \ldots(ii)[/tex]

Substitute the value of width from (ii) in equation (i)

[tex]\Rightarrow l(9.1-l)=19.38\\\Rightarrow l^2-9.1l+19.38=0\\\\\Rightarrow l=\dfrac{9.1\pm\sqrt{(-9.1)^2-4(1)(19.38)}}{2\times 1}\\\\\Rightarrow l=\dfrac{9.1\pm\sqrt{5.29}}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow l=\dfrac{9.1\pm2.3}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow l=3.4,\ 5.7[/tex]

Width corresponding to these lengths

[tex]w=5.7,\ 3.4[/tex]

Therfore, we can write the length of the longer side is [tex]5.7\ cm[/tex]

Geometric sequences HELP ASAP!

Answers

Given:

The table for a geometric sequence.

To find:

The formula for the given sequence and the 10th term of the sequence.

Solution:

In the given geometric sequence, the first term is 1120 and the common ratio is:

[tex]r=\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}[/tex]

[tex]r=\dfrac{560}{1120}[/tex]

[tex]r=0.5[/tex]

The nth term of a geometric sequence is:

[tex]a_n=ar^{n-1}[/tex]

Where a is the first term and r is the common ratio.

Putting [tex]a=1120, r=0.5[/tex], we get

[tex]a_n=1120(0.5)^{n-1}[/tex]

Therefore, the required formula for the given sequence is [tex]a_n=1120(0.5)^{n-1}[/tex].

We need to find the 10th term of the given sequence. So, substituting [tex]n=10[/tex] in the above formula.

[tex]a_{10}=1120(0.5)^{10-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_{10}=1120(0.5)^{9}[/tex]

[tex]a_{10}=1120(0.001953125)[/tex]

[tex]a_{10}=2.1875[/tex]

Therefore, the 10th term of the given sequence is 2.1875.

09.03 MC) What is the domain of the following parabola? (5 points) u-shaped graph that opens down with a vertex of 2, 3 Select one: a. x ≥ 2 b. x ≤ −1 c. y ≤ 3 d. All real numbers

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is d: All real numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

For a function f(x), the domain is the set of all the possible values of x that we can input in that function.

A general way to find the domain of a function is:

First, assume that the domain is the set of all real numbers.

Then, look at restrictions implied:

like in functions like:

f(x) = 4   if x > 3

Here the domain of the function is implied.

Third, let's find values of x that make "problems" with our function (for example, a zero in the denominator) and then remove these points from the domain.

In this case, we have a quadratic function:

y = a*x^2 + b*x + c

Here we do not have any problem (like a zero in a denominator), and we do not have any restrictions (We only know that the parabola is U shaped, so it is a function, and that its vertex is (2, 3) )

Then we can conclude that the domain of this function is the set of all real numbers.

The correct option is d: All real numbers.

If the daily returns on the stock market are normally distributed with a mean of .05% and a standard deviation of 1%, the probability that the stock market would have a return of -23% or worse on one particular day (as it did on Black Monday) is approximately __________.

Answers

Answer:

The probability that the stock market would have a return of -23% or worse on one particular day (as it did on Black Monday) is approximately 0%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

If the daily returns on the stock market are normally distributed with a mean of .05% and a standard deviation of 1%

This means that [tex]\mu = 0.05, \sigma = 1[/tex]

The probability that the stock market would have a return of -23% or worse on one particular day (as it did on Black Monday) is approximately

This is the p-value of Z when X = -23. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{-23 - 0.05}{1}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -23.05[/tex]

[tex]Z = -23.05[/tex] has a p-value of approximately 0. So

The probability that the stock market would have a return of -23% or worse on one particular day (as it did on Black Monday) is approximately 0%.
