Answer:
13r²(2rs + 4r³ - 3s⁴)
Step-by-step explanation:
In equation 26r³s + 52r⁵ - 39r²s⁴;
The GCF of 26, 52, and 39 = 13
The GCF of r³, r⁵ and r² = r²
The GCF of s, (no "s"), and s⁴ = no "s" (Since one of the number doesn't have "s")
Now we can factor out 13r² from all three expressions;
26r³s + 52r⁵ - 39r²s⁴
=> <em>13r²(2rs) + 13r²(4r³) - 13r²(3s⁴)</em>
To factor it all together;
<u>13r²(2rs + 4r³ - 3s⁴)</u>
Hope this helps!
The probability of getting the correct order in the spelling bee is 1 chance in 362,880.
This is a permutation problem. Our goals is to find the total number of ways that the 9 students can be ordered.
For the first spot there are 9 choices, then 8 choices, then 7 choices....
We need to evaluate:
9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 362,880
Another way to write this is: 9!
