Answer:

The GCF is - 4y

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the polynomial expression −16y4 + 12y2 – 4y?

If we carefully traverse all the terms we can factor out 4y from all the terms

=-4y(4y³-3y+1) which is similar to the original expression

Hence the greatest common factor GCF = - 4y

The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) is the largest number that will divided evenly into that number.

The population of Smalltown in the year 1890 was 6,250. Since then, it has increased at a rate of 3.75% each year. • What was th

Vikki [24]

Answer:

year 1915 : 15,689

year 1940 : 39,381

t = 137.9 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply an exponential growth function:

A = P (1 + r) t

Where:

p = original population

r = growing rate (decimal form)

t= years

A = population after t years

Replacing with the values given:

A = 6,250 (1 + 3.75/100)^t

A = 6,250 (1 + 0.0375)^t

A = 6,250 (1.0375)^t

So, by the year 1915 :

1915-1890 = 25 years passed (t)

A = 6,250 (1.0375)^25

A = 15,689

by the year 1940 :

1940-1890 = 50 years passed (t)

A = 6,250 (1.0375)^50

A = 39,381

When will the population reach 1,000,000?. We have to subtitute A=1000000 and solve for t.

1,000,000= 6,250 (1.0375)^t

1,000,000/ 6,250 =(1.0375)^t

160 = 1.0375^t

log 160 = log 1.0375^t

log 160 = (t ) log 1.0375

log160 / log 1.0375= t

t = 137.9 years

qaws [65]

Answer:

a. $\\ 10! = 3628800$ ;

b. $\\ 10!*10!*10! = 47784725839872000000 = 4.7784725839872*10^{19}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need here to apply the Multiplication Principle or the Fundamental Principle of Counting for each answer. Answer b needs an extra reasoning for being completed.

The Multiplication Principle states that if there are n ways of doing something and m ways of doing another thing, then there are n x m ways of doing both (Rule of product (2020), in Wikipedia).

<h3>In how many ways can ten students line up? </h3>

There are ten students. When one is selected, there is no other way to select it again. So, no repetition is allowed.

Then, in the beginning, there are 10 possibilities for 10 students; when one is selected, there are nine possibilities left. When another is selected, eight possibilities are left to form the file, and so on.

Thus, we need to multiply the possibilities after each selection: that is why the Multiplication Principle is important here.

This could be expressed mathematically using n!:

$\\ n! = n * (n-1)! * (n-2)! *...* 2*1.$

For instance, $\\ 5! = 5 * (5-1)! * (5-2)! *...*2*1 = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 120.$

So, for the case in question, the ten students can line up in:

$\\ 10! = 10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 3628800$ ways to line up in a single file.

<h3>Second Question</h3>

For this question, we need to consider the former reasoning with extra consideration in mind.

The members of Group 1 can occupy only the following places in forming the file:

$\\ G1 = \{ 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28\}^{th}$ places.

The members of Group 2 only:

$\\ G2 = \{ 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 23, 26, 29\}^{th}$ places.

And the members of Group 3, the following only ones:

$\\ G3 = \{ 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30\}^{th}$ places.

Well, having into account these possible places for each member of G1, G2 and G3, there are: 10! ways for lining up members of G1; 10! ways for lining up members of G2 and, also, 10! ways for lining up members of G3.

After using the Multiplication Principle, we have, thus:

$\\ 10! * 10! * 10! = 47784725839872000000 = 4.7784725839872 *10^{19}$ ways the students can line up to come in from recess.
