In a horse​ race, how many different finishes among the first 33 places are possible if 20 horses20 horses are​ running? (exclude​ ties)

Answers

Answer 1

To solve this problem, let us break this down one by one.

There are 20 possible horses that could win in first place. Therefore this means that for each of these possibilities, there are now 19 horses that could come in second. So meaning there are 20 x 19 possible combinations for the first 2 places. 

20 x 19 = 380. And for each of those combinations, there are also 18 possible horses that could come in the third place. So

20 x 19 x 18 = 6,840 

There are 6,840 possible horse combinations for the first 3 places in the race.

A person died leaving behind inheritance of Rs. 300000. Distribute the amount among 4 sons and 3 daughters so that each son gets double of what a daughter gets. Find the share of each when a debt of Rs. 80,000 was also to be paid.

Answers

s=2d

4s+3d=300000-80000

4s+3d=220000, now using s=2d in this equation you get:

4(2d)+3d=220000

8d+3d=220000

11d=220000

d=20000

So each daughter gets 20000 and each son gets 40000.

The inheritance problem deals with distributing Rs. 300,000 among 4 sons and 3 daughters after a Rs. 80,000 debt is paid. Using algebra and ratios, it is determined that each daughter receives Rs. 20,000 while each son receives Rs. 40,000.

The situation given is that a person dies leaving behind an inheritance of Rs. 300,000, which must be divided among 4 sons and 3 daughters such that each son receives double what each daughter gets. Additionally, a debt of Rs. 80,000 is to be taken out of the inheritance before distribution.

First, we need to consider the debt. Subtracting the debt from the total inheritance, we have:

Total inheritance after debt = Rs. 300,000 - Rs. 80,000 = Rs. 220,000

Now, let's assume each daughter gets x amount. Therefore, each son gets 2x the amount. We can set up the equation accounting for all sons and daughters:

3x (daughters' shares) + 4(2x) (sons' shares) = Rs. 220,000

Simplifying:

3x + 8x = Rs. 220,000

11x = Rs. 220,000

x = Rs. 20,000 (share of each daughter)

Consequently, the share of each son will be double that of a daughter, which is:

2x = 2(Rs. 20,000) = Rs. 40,000 (share of each son)

The value of a $225,000 house increases at a rate of 3.5% each year. Use a graph to predict the value of the house in 8 years.
A) ≈ $276,582
B) ≈ $286,263
C) ≈ $306,652
D) ≈ $296,282

Answers

The growth function is
V (t)=V0 (1+r)^t
V (t) ?
V0 225000
R 0.035
T 8 years

V (8)=225,000×(1+0.035)^(8)
V (8)=296,282

The value of the house in 8 years. (D) ≈ $296,282

How to predict the value?

The given parameters are:

Initial value, a = $225,000

Rate, r = 3.5%

The scenario is an illustration of an exponential growth function.

So, we have:

V(x) = a * (1 + r)^x

Substitute known values

V(x) = 225000 * (1 + 3.5%)^x

This gives

V(x) = 225000 * (1.035)^x

Next, we plot the graph of V(x)

See attachment

From the attached graph

V(x) = $296,282

Here are the choices for this problem:
They are parallel and congruent.
They are perpendicular to each other.
They share the same midpoints.
They create diameters of concentric circles.

The transformation that is done is a translation. Which means that the coordinates will be translated or moved in the coordinate plane without changing the size and the orientation of the image. If is a line was drawn from E to E' and another line was drawn from N to N', the two lines would be parallel and congruent since the translation done to E is the same to that of N.

Answers

From the given, there are 5 letters to choose from. For the first letter of the three-letter word, we can choose from all 5 of them. 

Also, for the second letter of the word, we can also have 5 choices because it is stated that repetition is allowed. Similarly, there are also 5 choices for the last letter of the word. By fundamental principle of counting, we multiply the numbers identified in the sentences above,

A triangle has one leg measuring 10 inches and the hypotenuse measuring 20 inches. the other leg measures 10\sqrt[]{3} 10 3 inches. what type of triangle is represented here?

Answers

From the description given for the triangle above, I think the type of triangle that is represented would be a right triangle. This type of triangle contains a right angle and two acute angles. In order to say or prove that it is a right triangle, it should be able to satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem which relates the sides of the triangle. It is expressed as follows:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

 where c is the hypotenuse or the longest side and a, b are the two shorter sides.

To prove that the triangle is indeed a right triangle, we use the equation above.

c^2 = a^2 + b^2
c^2 = 20^2 = 10^2 + (10sqrt(3))^2

Determine the slope of a line that makes an angle of 5pi/4 radians with the x-axis.

check the picture.

π radians is the angle 180 degrees, so π/4 radians is 180°/4=45°.

to construct the angle [tex]5 \frac{ \pi}{4} [/tex] we can proceed as shown in the figure, that is, we open an angle equal to 5 half right angles.

We see that the line making the angle 5pi/4 is the same line making the angle pi/4 radians, that is 45 degrees.

A line making the angle 45 degrees with the x axis, has slope equal to 1. 

Remark, we have considered a line passing through the origin, as it represents all other lines making 5pi/4 radians.

The area of a rectangle is 33 m2 , and the length of the rectangle is 5 m less than double the width. find the dimensions of the rectangle.

Answers

By definition, a rectangle is a quadrilateral (4-sided polygon) containing two sets of equal and parallel sides called the length and the width. For determining the area of a rectangle, you simply have to multiply length times width. In this problem, let L be the length and W be the width. Then, we formulate the two independent formulas: formula for area, and formula relating L and W

A = LW = 33
L = 2W-5

Substituting the second equation to the first,

A = 33 = (2W - 5)W
33 = 2W² - 5W
2W² - 5W -33 = 0
W = 5.5 and -3

Since the equation is quadratic, there are two possible roots: 5.5 and -3. However, we can only use the positive value. Thus, W=5.5 m. Consequently,

L = 2(5.5)-5
L = 6 m

Therefore, the dimensions of the rectangle is 6 m by 5.5 m.

Answers

The length of the arc is a fraction of the circumference of the circle depending on the length of the radius and the intercepted angle. This can be calculated through the equation,

                    L = (2πr) x (θ /360)

where L is the length of arc, r is the radius, and θ is the intercepted angle in terms of degrees. 

Substituting the known values to the equation,

                   36 = (2π)(15)  x (θ / 360)

We translate the equation to find the value of θ,

                               θ = (36)(360) / 2π(15)

The value of θ is equal to 137.51°. 

This can be coverted to radians through the equation below,

                              θ (in radians) = 137.51° x (2π rad / 360°) = 2.4 rad

The graph of the function f(x) = (x² + 3x + 5 )/(x+ 2) is a parabola that is shifted to the left by 2 units.

The parabola is similar to the graph of the function y = x², but it is narrower because the denominator of the fraction is x + 2.

The graph also has a hole at the point (-2, 5), which is the point where the denominator of the fraction is 0.
