Answer: a.) 40320
b.) 336
Step-by-step explanation:
since we have 8 possible positions, with 8 different candidates, then there are 8 possible ways of arranging the first position, 7 possible ways of arranging the Second position, 6 ways of arranging the 3rd position, 5 possible ways od arranging the 4th position, 4 possible ways of arranging the 5th position, 3 possible ways of arranging the 6th position, 2 possible ways of arranging the 7th position and just one way of arranging the 8th position since we have only one person left.
Hence, the Number of possible sample space for different 8 positions is by multiplying all the number of ways we have in our sample space which becomes:
8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 40320.
b.) By the sample space we have, since we've been asked ti arrange for only the firat 3 positions, then we multiply just for the first 3ways of choosing the positions, this becomes:
8*7*6 = 336
Four point six three zero.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
to find the arithmetic sequence with a4=-1 and a6=-13
first: find the difference: an=a+(n-1)d
a4=-1
that means a1+d(4-1)=-1 ( since a4 given and need to find a1)
a1+3d=-1 first equation
a1+d(6-1)=-13 ( a6 is given)
a1+5d=-13 second equation
a1+3d=-1
a1+5d=-13 ( find a and d by subtraction)
a1+3d-a1-5d=-1-(-13)
2d=12
d=-12/2=-6 ( substitute d in the equation: a1+3d=-1)
difference =-6
a1=17
a1,a2,a3,a4,a5,a6,....
the sequence is : 17,11,5,-1,-7,-13,.....
hope it works
