How many distinct 9-letter words starting with “i” can be formed from the word “committee”?

Nikitich [7]2 years ago

We have already chosen "i" to be the first letter. This means that we still have 8 letters that we can use as the second letter. Once that letter is chosen, we still have 7 letters that we can use as the third letter, and so on. This means we have

8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 8!

ways of choosing the remaining 8 letters.

<u>However,</u> some of the 8 available letters are equal: we have 2 m's, 2 t's and 2 e's. This means that we overcounted the number of words on the reasoning above. We can correct the counting by dividing three times by 2!, one time for each of the repeated letters.

The final answer is

\dfrac{8!}{2! \times 2! \times 2!} = \dfrac{40320}{8} = 5040.

LenKa [72]

Given:

It is given that surface area must be less than 150 cm².

Solution:

The Maximum Volume With Total Surface Area Less  than 150 cm² is shown in the table.

From the table, it can be concluded that for r=3.00 cm and h=4.95 cm the surface area will be less than 150 cm²  and the volume will be the maximum.

S=2\pi rh+2\pi r^2\\S=2\pi (3)(7.95)+2\pi3^2\\S=93.3+56.5\\S=149.8 \text{ cm}^2

Calculate the volume.

V=\pi r^2h\\V=\pi(3)^2(4.95)\\V=139.96

Hence, the required dimensions are r=3.00 cm and h=4.95 cm.

Mabel scored 19 points more on her pre-algebra test than nancy .pheobe scored 10 points less on her pre algebra test than nancy
Neporo4naja [7]
So M=Mabels score
N=Nancys score
P=Phoebes score
M=N+19
P=N-10
p=23 Therefore Nancys Score is 33
Mabel scored 19 more points on her test than Nancy did.
So therefore add N+M = 52

Jack is flying his kite . He runs 100 feet away from his house and lets out 45 feet of string . The angle of elevation from the
fiasKO [112]

Answer: 125.80 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Asuming the described situation is as shown in the figure below, we need to find the distance h between the kite and Jacks house, but first we need to find the x, y and then d.

How?

We will use trigonometry, especifically the trigonometric functions sine and cosine:

For y:

sin(65 \°)=\frac{y}{45 ft} (1)

Where y is the opposite side to the angle and 45 ft the hypotenuse.

Isolating y:

y=40.78 ft (2)

For x:

cos(65 \°)=\frac{x}{45 ft} (3)

Where x is the adjacent side to the angle.

Isolating x:

y=19.017 ft (4)

Finding d:

d=x+100 ft (5)

d=19.017 ft +100 ft

d=119.017 ft (6)

Now that we have found these values, we have to work with a bigger triangle, where the hypotenuse is the distance between the kite and Jack's house h and the sides are the values calculated in (4) and (6).

So, in this case we will use the <u>Pithagorean theorem</u>:

h^{2}=y^{2} +d^{2} (7)

Isolating h and writing with the known values:

h=\sqrt{y^{2} +d^{2}} (8)

h=\sqrt{(19.017 ft)^{2} +(119.017 ft)^{2}} (9)

h=125.80 ft This is the distance between the kite and the house
