Answer:

60,480

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of ways that Paul can arrange his trophies, we can use the permutation formula.

The permutation formula is:

$_{n}P_{k}=\dfrac{n!}{(n-k)!}$

n = 9

k = 6

Now let's put them into the formula.

$_{9}P_{6}=\dfrac{9!}{(9-6)!}$

$_{9}P_{6}=\dfrac{9!}{3!}$

$_{9}P_{6}=\dfrac{9!}{3!}$

$_{9}P_{6}=60,480$

There are 60,480 different ways that Paul can arrange his trophies on the shelf.

The answer should be 3 since its the absolute value and thats just how far a number is from 0 so it would be 8-5=3

Hey you can help me out with this

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the angles of any shape with all sides equal in length, we use the formula:

$\frac{(n-2)*180}{n}$ , where n is the number of sides

For a pentagon, we get the equation:

$\frac{(5-2)*180}{5}$ $= 108 degrees$

Thus the measure of each in a pentagon if the lengths of all five sides are equal is 108 degrees.

Hope that helps!

Answer:

1.

25 of the 36 collars will be accepted. I just counted the numbers that were either "14" "15" or "16" because the company will only accept the collars that have 14-16 miligrams of medicine in them.

2. I expect the company to reject 11 of them because 25-36 = 11

A solid is formed by adjoining two hemispheres to the ends of a right circular cylinder. An industrial tank of this shape must h

mestny [16]

Answer:

Radius =6.518 feet

Height = 26.074 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The Volume of the Solid formed = Volume of the two Hemisphere + Volume of the Cylinder

Volume of a Hemisphere $=\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3$

Volume of a Cylinder $=\pi r^2 h$

Therefore:

The Volume of the Solid formed

$=2(\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3)+\pi r^2 h\\\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3+\pi r^2 h=4640\\\pi r^2(\frac{4r}{3}+ h)=4640\\\frac{4r}{3}+ h =\frac{4640}{\pi r^2} \\h=\frac{4640}{\pi r^2}-\frac{4r}{3}$

Area of the Hemisphere = $2\pi r^2$

Curved Surface Area of the Cylinder = $2\pi rh$

Total Surface Area=

$2\pi r^2+2\pi r^2+2\pi rh\\=4\pi r^2+2\pi rh$

Cost of the Hemispherical Ends = 2 X Cost of the surface area of the sides.

Therefore total Cost, C

$=2(4\pi r^2)+2\pi rh\\C=8\pi r^2+2\pi rh$

Recall: $h=\frac{4640}{\pi r^2}-\frac{4r}{3}$

Therefore:

$C=8\pi r^2+2\pi r(\frac{4640}{\pi r^2}-\frac{4r}{3})\\C=8\pi r^2+\frac{9280}{r}-\frac{8\pi r^2}{3}\\C=\frac{9280}{r}+\frac{24\pi r^2-8\pi r^2}{3}\\C=\frac{9280}{r}+\frac{16\pi r^2}{3}\\C=\frac{27840+16\pi r^3}{3r}$

The minimum cost occurs at the point where the derivative equals zero.

$C^{'}=\frac{-27840+32\pi r^3}{3r^2}$

$When \:C^{'}=0$

$-27840+32\pi r^3=0\\27840=32\pi r^3\\r^3=27840 \div 32\pi=276.9296\\r=\sqrt[3]{276.9296} =6.518$

Recall:

$h=\frac{4640}{\pi r^2}-\frac{4r}{3}\\h=\frac{4640}{\pi*6.518^2}-\frac{4*6.518}{3}\\h=26.074 feet$

Therefore, the dimensions that will minimize the cost are:

Radius =6.518 feet

Height = 26.074 feet
