Each of four students hands in a homework paper. Later the teacher hands back the graded papers randomly, one to each of the stu

dents. In how many ways can the papers be handed back such that every student receives someone else's paper? The order in which the students receive their papers is irrelevant.

Answer:

9 possible ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

To explain this problem i'm going to use letters and numbers (only as example). The letters correspond to a student and the numbers to a homework. Te correct form we have is:

<u>Student</u> ⇒ <u>Homework</u>

    A       ⇒    1

    B       ⇒    2

    C       ⇒    3

    D       ⇒    4

In how many ways can the papers be handed back such that every student receives someone else's paper?. To answer this we need to form every group of Student/Homework possible, but not taking into count the correct way (showing above)

Possible groups:

1) A-2/B-1/C-4/D-3

2)A-2/B-4/C-1/D-3

3)A-2/B-3/C-4/D-1

4)A-3/B-1/C-4/D-2

5)A-3/B-4/C-2/D-1

6)A-3/B-4/C-1/D-2

7)A-4/B-1/C-2/D-3

8)A-4/B-3/C-2/D-1

9)A-4/B-3/C-1/D-2

We have 9 possible ways,

A store is selling 5 cans of tomato sauce for $4.50. What is the unit price?
NARA [144]
Hi there! The answer is $0.90

To find the price per unit we must divide the total amount of money by the amount of units sold. So we get the following:
$4.50 / 5 = $0.90

X1/3y1/6 rewrite expression in radical form
arsen [322]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Please, use the symbol " ^ " to denote exponentiation:

x^(1/3) * y^(1/6)

In radical form, this would be:

∛x*(6th root of y)    (the index of the second root is 6).

Alternatively, you could write:

∛x * √((∛y)).

If sin theta = sqrt(2/2), which could not be the value of theta?
Nataliya [291]

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

sin(θ°) = √(2)/2 

θ° = 360°n + sin⁻¹(√(2)/2) and θ° = 360°n + 180° − sin⁻¹(√(2)/2)
θ° = 360°n + 45° and θ° = 360°n + 135° where n∈ℤ 

360°*0 + 45° = 45° 
360°*0 + 135° = 135° 
360°*1 + 45° = 405° 

<span>sin(225°) = -√(2)/2

</span>225 has an angle where sin theta= -(sqrt2)/2 therefore, the value of theta cannot be 225 degrees.

Consider the function represented by 9x + 3y= 12 with x as the independent variable. How can this function be written
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer: f(x) = -3x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The function is represented by

9x + 3y= 12

This is a linear equation with x as the independent variable. This means that if x is the independent variable, the y is the dependent variable. The values of y depends on the values of x. In order to represent the function, 9x + 3y= 12, we would rearrange the function such that y stands alone on the left hand side of the equation. This becomes

9x + 3y= 12

Subtracting 9x from both sides,

9x -9x + 3y = 12 - 9x

3y = 12-9x

Dividing the lefthand side and right hand side of the equation by 3, it becomes

3y/3 = (12-9x)/3

y= -3x + 4

using function notation,

y = f(x) = -3x + 4
