Suppose we want to choose 4 colors, without replacement, from 18 distinct colors.
(a) If the order of the choices is relevant, how many ways can this be done?
(b) If the order of the choices is not relevant, how many ways can this be done?

Answers

Answer 1

Answers:

(a) 73440(b)  3060

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

Explanation for part (a)

Consider four slots labeled A,B,C,D.

We have

18 choices for slot A17 choices for slot B16 choices for slot C15 choices for slot D

We started at 18 and counted down until we filled the four slots. The countdown is because we cannot repeat a color. Multiply out those values to get the answer: 18*17*16*15 = 73440

You can use the nPr permutation formula as an alternative method

[tex]_nP_r = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}[/tex]

in this case n = 18 and r = 4. The exclamation marks indicate factorial.

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

Explanation for part (b)

Let's say we had color labels A,B,C,... all the way up to R which is the 18th letter in the English alphabet. From those 18 letters, we can only pick four. Let's say we pick D,E,F,G.

Focusing solely on the set {D,E,F,G}, we only have one set and the order doesn't matter. So {D,E,F,G} is the same as {D,E,G,F}.

There are 4*3*2*1 = 24 ways to arrange those four items meaning that we'll need to divide the result of part (a) by 24 to get the result of part (b)

73440/24 = 3060

You could use the nCr combination formula to get the same result

[tex]_nC_r = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}[/tex]

where n = 18 and r = 4 are the same from last time.

The connection between nPr and nCr is this

[tex]_nC_r = \frac{_nP_r}{r!}[/tex]

which can be rearranged into

[tex]_nP_r = r!*\left( _nC_r \right)[/tex]

these formulas are handy to help us go back and forth between nCr or nPr.

Answer 2

If the order of the choices is relevant, the number of ways of selecting 4 colors out of 18 distinct colors is 73440.

If the order of the choices is not relevant, the number of ways of selecting 4 colors out of 18 distinct colors is 3060.

What are combination and permutation?

Combination is a way of selecting items from a collection where the order of arrangement is not relevant.

It is given by:

[tex]^nC_r[/tex] = n! / r! (n-r)!

Permutation is a way of selecting items from a collection where the order of the arrangement is relevant.

It is given as:

[tex]^nP_r[/tex] = n! / (n-r)1

We have,

Number of distinct colors = 18

Number of colors to be chosen = 4

The number of ways the four colors be chosen when the order is not relevant:

= [tex]^{18}C_4[/tex]

= 18! / 4! 14!

= 18 x 17 x 16 x 15 / 4 x 3 x 2

= 3060

The number of ways the four colors be chosen when the order is relevant:

= [tex]^{18}P_4[/tex]

= 18! / 14!

= 18 x 17 x 16 x 15
= 73440

Thus,

If the order of the choices is relevant, the number of ways of selecting 4 colors out of 18 distinct colors is 73440.

If the order of the choices is not relevant, the number of ways of selecting 4 colors out of 18 distinct colors is 3060.

A small airplane flies 1015 miles with an average speed of 290 miles per hour. 1.75 hours after the plane leaves, a Boeing 747 leaves from the same point. Both planes arrive at the same time; what was the average speed of the 747

Answers

Answer:

The average speed of the 747 was of 580 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the following relation to solve this question:

[tex]v = \frac{d}{t}[/tex]

In which v is the velocity, d is the distance and t is the time.

A small airplane flies 1015 miles with an average speed of 290 miles per hour.

We have to find the time:

[tex]v = \frac{d}{t}[/tex]

[tex]290 = \frac{1015}{t}[/tex]

[tex]290t = 1015[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{1015}{290}[/tex]

[tex]t = 3.5[/tex]

1.75 hours after the plane leaves, a Boeing 747 leaves from the same point. Both planes arrive at the same time;

The time of the Boeing 747 is:

[tex]t = 3.5 - 1.75 = 1.75[/tex]

Distance of [tex]d = 1015[/tex], the velocity is:

[tex]v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{1015}{1.75} = 580[/tex]

The average speed of the 747 was of 580 miles per hour.

Answer:

A. x = 50

Step-by-step explanation:

x° + (x + 10)° + (x + 20)° = 180° (sum of interior angles of a triangle)

Solve for x

x + x + 10 + x + 20 = 180

Add like terms

x + x + x + 10 + 20 = 180

3x + 30 = 180

Subtract 30 from each side

3x + 30 - 30 = 180 - 30

3x = 150

Divide both sides by 3

3x/3 = 150/3

x = 50

Answer:

  A = 49π/36 or 59π/36

Step-by-step explanation:

The given angle is coterminal with the same angle modulo 2π.

  (563/36)π = 14π +(59/36)π

so the coterminal angle is 59π/36 ≈ 1.6389π, a 4th-quadrant angle. The 3rd-quadrant angle with the same sine value is found by subtracting this angle from 3π:

  A = 3π -(59π/36) = 49π/36

The two values of A that satisfy the equation are ...

A = 59π/36A = 49π/36

_____

In degrees, the two angles are 245° and 295°.

find the equation of the circle if it passes through the point (2,4).​

Answers

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Points (- 3,3) and (3,1) on a circler = 5

i.

There are possible two points that can have a distance of 5 units from both of the given points, so possible two centers, hence two possible circles.

ii.

Let the points are A and B and the centers of circles are F and G.

The midpoint of AB, the point C is:

C = ((-3 + 3)/2, (3 + 1)/2) = (0, 2)

The length of AB:

AB = [tex]\sqrt{(3 + 3)^2 + (1 - 3)^2} = \sqrt{6^2+2^2} = \sqrt{40} = 2\sqrt{10}[/tex]

The distance AC = BC = 1/2AB = [tex]\sqrt{10}[/tex]

The distance FC or GC is:

FC = GC = [tex]\sqrt{5^2-10} = \sqrt{15}[/tex]

Possible coordinates of center are (h, k).

We have radius:

(h + 3)² + (k - 3)² = 25(h - 3)² + (k - 1)² = 25

Comparing the two we get:

(h + 3)² + (k - 3)² = (h - 3)² + (k - 1)²

Simplifying to get:

k = 3h + 2

We consider this in the distance FC or GC:

h² + (k - 2)² = 15h² + (3h + 2 - 2)² = 1510h² = 15h² = 1.5h = √1.5 orh = - √1.5

Then k is:

k = 3√1.5 + 2 ork = -3√1.5 + 2

So coordinates of centers:

(√1.5, 3√1.5 + 2) for G or(√1.5, 3√1.5 + 2) for F (or vice versa)

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

b.

Diameters:

x - y - 4 = 02x + 3y + 7 = 0

The intercession of the diameters is the center. We solve the system above and get. Not solving here as it is already a long answer:

x = 1, y = -3

The point (2, 4) on he circle given.

Find the radius which is the distance between center and the given point:

r = [tex]\sqrt{(2 - 1)^2+(4+3)^2} = \sqrt{1^2+7^2} = \sqrt{50}[/tex]

The equation of circle:

(x - 1)² + (y + 3)² = 50

The figure shows a plane slicing through a cone. The plane is neither parallel nor perpendicular to the base of the cone, and the plane does not intersect the base of the cone.

Answers

Answer:   Ellipse

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

Explanation:

Imagine that this plane was a saw blade, or a laser, that cut the cone. We would have two pieces and each piece would have a shape of an ellipse on them. The cutting plane would also have the same ellipse shape.

Or you think of the cutting plane as a flat piece of cloth. If we cut everything around the cone, then we would have an ellipse shaped hole as a result.

The reason why we get an ellipse and not a circle is because the plane is angled like that. It needs to be perfectly parallel to the circular base in order to get a circular cross section.
