Answer:

56 different ways

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a combination question since it deals with selection. For example, if n objects is to be selected from a pool of r objects, this can be done in nCr different ways.

nCr = n!/(n-r)!r!

According to the question, If the police have 8 suspects, the different number of ways 5 can be selected for a line up is expressed as 8C5

8C5 = 8!/(8-5)!5!

8C5 = 8!/(3!)!5!

8C5 = 8*7*6*5!/3*2*5!

8C5 = 8*7*6/3*2

8C5 = 8*7

8C5 = 56 different ways

Hence, the selection of picking 5 for a line up out of 8 suspects can be done in 56 different ways.

Which compound most likely contains polar covalent bonds? NaCl AlF3 Br2 NF3

belka [17]

Answer: The correct answer is $NF_3$

Explanation:

In $NF_3$ molecule, there are three bond pairs and one lone pair present in the molecule. In a molecule, lone pair present on the nitrogen atom will have a dipole moment in upward direction where as total dipole moment formed by three fluorine atoms will be more in magnitude and it will be directed in downward direction which means that the net dipole moment will be in downward direction. As shown in image attached.

Hence, covalent bond present between nitrogen and fluorine will become polar in nature.

So, the correct answer is $NF_3$ .

The tiles that Bruce used were each of a square foot in the area. The table shows the area covered by Felicia’s tiles in terms o

Allisa [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to write an equation which represents the area of Felicia covered y in terms of the number of tiles she used.

Let x= Number of tiles

y=Area covered by Felicia's tile

$x_1=9, x_2=18, x_3=27$

$y_1=1, y_2=2,y_3=3$

$\frac{x_1}{y_1}=\frac{9}{1}=9$

$\frac{x_2}{y_2}=\frac{18}{2}=9$

$\frac{x_3}{y_3}=\frac{27}{3}=9$

The ratio of x and y remains constant.Therefore, it is direct proportion .

Equation of direction proportion is given by

$\frac{x}{y}=k$

Where

k=The value of ratio of x and y

x and y are variables

We have k=9

Substitute the values in the equation

Then, we get

$\frac{x}{y}=9$

$x=9y$

$y=\frac{1}{9}x$

This is required equation which representing the area of Felicia covered y in terms of the number of tile she used x.

4 and 5 are complements, and 1 and 5 are complements. By the congruent complements theorem, which angle is congruent to 4? 1 2 3

Zepler [3.9K]

The theorem tells you angles complementary to the same angle are congruent. Both 4 and 1 are complementary to 5, so 4 and 1 are congruent.

The angle congruent to 4 is 1.
