The total tickets to be purchased to guarantee the win =  504 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Number of entries in the trifecta race = 9

The win is to select the first finisher, second finisher and third finisher in their proper order.

We need to find the number of tickets to be purchased to guarantee the win

Step 2 :

Number of ways to select the first finisher = 9

Number of ways to select the second finisher = 8 [the first is selected and fixed. So the number of available finishes is reduced by 1]

Number of ways to select the third finisher = 7

Hence the total tickets to be purchased to guarantee the win = 9 × 8 × 7 = 504

Step 3 :

Answer :

The total tickets to be purchased to guarantee the win =  504 tickets

Find a line that lies entirely in the set defined by the equation x2 + y2 − z2 = 1.
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

x=1\,,\,y=t\,,\,z=t

Step-by-step explanation:

A line is a one-dimensional figure that has no thickness and extends infinitely in both directions.

A line segment is a line that has two end-points and a ray is a line that has one end-point.

Given equation is x^2+y^2-z^2=1

To find : a line that lies entirely in the set defined by the given equation.

Solution:

Take x=1\,,\,y=t\,,\,z=t

Check:

L.H.S=1^2+t^2-t^2=1+0=1=R.H.S

Therefore, x=1\,,\,y=t\,,\,z=t satisfy the given equation.

8 times of the eight term of an arithmetic progression is equal to 12 times of the twelfth term. find its first term if the comm
denpristay [2]

Answer:

38

Step-by-step explanation:

We can express the 8th term as x and the 12th term as y.

This would mean that 8x=12y

Because the common difference between terms is -2 and term 8 and term 12 are 4 terms apart, this means that the 12th term is 8 less than the 8th term, so x-8=y

Now we can use this to substitute y with x in the first equation. This would give us:

8x=12(x-8)

Which we can expand and solve:

8x=12x-96

-4x=-96

Therefore x=24

This means the 8th term is 24 and the 12th term is 16 (24-8).

To test if this is correct we can do:

8x24=12x16

Which indeed are equal, both sides multiply to 192.

Now that we have our 8th term, we can find the 1st term, which is 7 terms away, therefore we just add 14 to the 8th term 24. (7x2=14)

24+14=38.

The first term is 38.

Hope this helped!
