Each participant in a certain study was assigned a sequence of 3 different letters from the set {a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h}. if no sequence was assigned to more than one participant and if 36 of the possible sequences were not assigned, what was the number of participants in the study? (note, for example, that the sequence a, b, c is different from the sequence c, b,a.) 20

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Number of possible sequence of 3 in 8  = 8P3 = 8! / (8-3)! =  336
36  were not assigned so  number participants = 300 (answer).

Help Please...So, I'm doing a blueprint assignment for my school. I have to determine a scale factor. Right now, the house is in feet, its measurements 20 by 40. I want to do a blue print using centimeters as my scale. What I want to do is scale factor it so it's not too small but at the same time doesn't take up the whole graph paper. If anyone has a idea on what scale factor I should use, please answer.

You can use the " x-method" to solve this question. You need to find the two factors that multiply to -60 and add/ subtract to -11. Your two factors should be 4 and -15. I hope the picture helps

How can you solve -2y+5y=14

Answers

you add the terms that are the same and then simplify.

-2y+5y=3y
3y=14
y=4.666 or 4 2/3

Rewrite this expression using the distributive property then simplify.
2/3(6x+12)

Answers

so distributive property of multiplication says
a(b+c)=(ab)+(ac)

so 2/3(6x+12)=((2/3)6x)+((2/3)12)=12/3x+24/3=4x+8=4(x+2)
2/3(6x+12)

=12/3x+24/3

=4x+8

20. There are 15 members of the show choir. In how many ways can you arrange 4 members in the front row when order does not matter?

Answers

The first chair can be any  one of the 15.
   For each of those ...
The second chair can be any one of the remaining 14.
      For each of those ...
The third chair can be any one of the remaining 13.
   For each of those ...
The fourth chair can be any one of the remaining 12.

Number of ways to fill the 4 chairs = (15 x 14 x 13 x 12) = 32,760 .

But ...

Each set of 4 people can be seated in (4 x 3 x 2 x 1) = 24 orders.
So each group of 4 people is represented 24 times among the 32,760.

If the order doesn't matter, you're really asking how many different
groups of 4 people can occupy the front row.

That's        (32,760) / (24) = 1,365 sets of 4 members, in any order.
Say that the front four people's names are John, Kathy, Mia, and Alex, in that order. You can arrange them as follows.

John, Kathy, Alex, Mia
John, Alex, Kathy, Mia
John, Alex, Mia, Kathy
John, Mia, Alex, Kathy
John, Mia, Kathy, Alex
Alex, John, Kathy, Mia
Alex, John, Mia, Kathy
There are many more, but my guess would be 16 combinations. Test for yourself if you don't think thats right!
