I'm assuming order does not matter.

C(n, r) = (n!)/(r!(n-r)!)

C(45, 6) = (45!)/(6!*(45-6)!)

C(45, 6) = (45!)/(6!*39!)

C(45, 6) = (45*44*43*42*41*40*39!)/(6!*39!)

C(45, 6) = (45*44*43*42*41*40)/(6!)

C(45, 6) = (45*44*43*42*41*40)/(6*5*4*3*2*1)

C(45, 6) = (5864443200)/(720)

C(45, 6) = 8145060

So there are 8145060 different ways.

-6%28x%2B5%29%3C-x%2B11 Start with the given inequality.


-6x-30%3C-x%2B11 Distribute.


-6x%3C-x%2B11%2B30 Add 30 to both sides.


-6x%2Bx%3C11%2B30 Add x to both sides.


-5x%3C11%2B30 Combine like terms on the left side.


-5x%3C41 Combine like terms on the right side.


x%3E%2841%29%2F%28-5%29 Divide both sides by -5 to isolate x. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.

-2x-8%28x-2%29=4 Start with the given equation.


-2x-8x%2B16=4 Distribute.


-10x%2B16=4 Combine like terms on the left side.


-10x=4-16 Subtract 16 from both sides.


-10x=-12 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-12%29%2F%28-10%29 Divide both sides by -10 to isolate x.


x=6%2F5 Reduce.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So the solution is x=6%2F5

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x = height, so x+30 is the horizontal distance


So use the pythagorean theorem to find the height

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

x^2 + (x+30)^2 = 150^2

x^2 + x^2+60x+900 = 22500

x^2 + x^2+60x+900 - 22500 = 0

2x^2+60x-21600 = 0

2(x^2+30x-10800) = 0

x^2+30x-10800 = 0

Now use the quadratic formula to solve for x


x = (-B +- sqrt( B^2-4AC ))/(2A)


x = (-(30) +- sqrt( (30)^2-4(1)(-10800) ))/(2(1))


x = (-30 +- sqrt( 900+43200 ))/(2(1))


x = (-30 +- sqrt( 44100 ))/(2(1))


x = (-30 +- 210)/(2)


x = (-30 + 210)/(2) or x = (-30 - 210)/(2)


x = (180)/(2) or x = (-240)/(2)


x = 90 or x = -120


Now throw out the negative solution to get the only solution of x = 90


So the height is 90 ft and the horizontal distance is 120 ft (since 90+30 = 120)

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Since order matters, you'll use the permutation formula

P(n,r) = n!/(n-r)!


In this case, n = 12 and r = 3


P(n,r) = n!/(n-r)!

P(12,3) = (12!)/((12-3)!)

P(12,3) = (12!)/(9!)

P(12,3) = (12*11*10*9!)/(9!)

P(12,3) = 12*11*10

P(12,3) = 1320


So there are 1320 different ways to choose 3 separate officeholder positions.

# 6



Looking at the expression 36a%5E2-84ab%2B49b%5E2, we can see that the first coefficient is 36, the second coefficient is -84, and the last coefficient is 49.


Now multiply the first coefficient 36 by the last coefficient 49 to get %2836%29%2849%29=1764.


Now the question is: what two whole numbers multiply to 1764 (the previous product) and add to the second coefficient -84?


To find these two numbers, we need to list all of the factors of 1764 (the previous product).


Factors of 1764:
1,2,3,4,6,7,9,12,14,18,21,28,36,42,49,63,84,98,126,147,196,252,294,441,588,882,1764
-1,-2,-3,-4,-6,-7,-9,-12,-14,-18,-21,-28,-36,-42,-49,-63,-84,-98,-126,-147,-196,-252,-294,-441,-588,-882,-1764


Note: list the negative of each factor. This will allow us to find all possible combinations.


These factors pair up and multiply to 1764.
1*1764 = 1764
2*882 = 1764
3*588 = 1764
4*441 = 1764
6*294 = 1764
7*252 = 1764
9*196 = 1764
12*147 = 1764
14*126 = 1764
18*98 = 1764
21*84 = 1764
28*63 = 1764
36*49 = 1764
42*42 = 1764
(-1)*(-1764) = 1764
(-2)*(-882) = 1764
(-3)*(-588) = 1764
(-4)*(-441) = 1764
(-6)*(-294) = 1764
(-7)*(-252) = 1764
(-9)*(-196) = 1764
(-12)*(-147) = 1764
(-14)*(-126) = 1764
(-18)*(-98) = 1764
(-21)*(-84) = 1764
(-28)*(-63) = 1764
(-36)*(-49) = 1764
(-42)*(-42) = 1764

Now let's add up each pair of factors to see if one pair adds to the middle coefficient -84:


First NumberSecond NumberSum
117641+1764=1765
28822+882=884
35883+588=591
44414+441=445
62946+294=300
72527+252=259
91969+196=205
1214712+147=159
1412614+126=140
189818+98=116
218421+84=105
286328+63=91
364936+49=85
424242+42=84
-1-1764-1+(-1764)=-1765
-2-882-2+(-882)=-884
-3-588-3+(-588)=-591
-4-441-4+(-441)=-445
-6-294-6+(-294)=-300
-7-252-7+(-252)=-259
-9-196-9+(-196)=-205
-12-147-12+(-147)=-159
-14-126-14+(-126)=-140
-18-98-18+(-98)=-116
-21-84-21+(-84)=-105
-28-63-28+(-63)=-91
-36-49-36+(-49)=-85
-42-42-42+(-42)=-84



From the table, we can see that the two numbers -42 and -42 add to -84 (the middle coefficient).


So the two numbers -42 and -42 both multiply to 1764 and add to -84


Now replace the middle term -84ab with -42ab-42ab. Remember, -42 and -42 add to -84. So this shows us that -42ab-42ab=-84ab.


36a%5E2%2Bhighlight%28-42ab-42ab%29%2B49b%5E2 Replace the second term -84ab with -42ab-42ab.


%2836a%5E2-42ab%29%2B%28-42ab%2B49b%5E2%29 Group the terms into two pairs.


6a%286a-7b%29%2B%28-42ab%2B49b%5E2%29 Factor out the GCF 6a from the first group.


6a%286a-7b%29-7b%286a-7b%29 Factor out -7b from the second group.


%286a-7b%29%286a-7b%29 Factor out the GCF 6a-7b


%286a-7b%29%5E2 Condense the terms.


So 36a%5E2-84ab%2B49b%5E2 completely factors to %286a-7b%29%5E2


In other words, 36a%5E2-84ab%2B49b%5E2=%286a-7b%29%5E2

9y%5E2-16z%5E2 Start with the given expression.


%283y%29%5E2-16z%5E2 Rewrite 9y%5E2 as %283y%29%5E2.


%283y%29%5E2-%284z%29%5E2 Rewrite 16z%5E2 as %284z%29%5E2.


Notice how we have a difference of squares A%5E2-B%5E2 where in this case A=3y and B=4z.


So let's use the difference of squares formula A%5E2-B%5E2=%28A%2BB%29%28A-B%29 to factor the expression:


A%5E2-B%5E2=%28A%2BB%29%28A-B%29 Start with the difference of squares formula.


%283y%29%5E2-%284z%29%5E2=%283y%2B4z%29%283y-4z%29 Plug in A=3y and B=4z.


So this shows us that 9y%5E2-16z%5E2 factors to %283y%2B4z%29%283y-4z%29.


In other words 9y%5E2-16z%5E2=%283y%2B4z%29%283y-4z%29.

x%5E2%2B6x-6=6 Start with the given equation.


x%5E2%2B6x-6-6=0 Get every term to the left side.


x%5E2%2B6x-12=0 Combine like terms.


Notice that the quadratic x%5E2%2B6x-12 is in the form of Ax%5E2%2BBx%2BC where A=1, B=6, and C=-12


Let's use the quadratic formula to solve for "x":


x+=+%28-B+%2B-+sqrt%28+B%5E2-4AC+%29%29%2F%282A%29 Start with the quadratic formula


x+=+%28-%286%29+%2B-+sqrt%28+%286%29%5E2-4%281%29%28-12%29+%29%29%2F%282%281%29%29 Plug in A=1, B=6, and C=-12


x+=+%28-6+%2B-+sqrt%28+36-4%281%29%28-12%29+%29%29%2F%282%281%29%29 Square 6 to get 36.


x+=+%28-6+%2B-+sqrt%28+36--48+%29%29%2F%282%281%29%29 Multiply 4%281%29%28-12%29 to get -48


x+=+%28-6+%2B-+sqrt%28+36%2B48+%29%29%2F%282%281%29%29 Rewrite sqrt%2836--48%29 as sqrt%2836%2B48%29


x+=+%28-6+%2B-+sqrt%28+84+%29%29%2F%282%281%29%29 Add 36 to 48 to get 84


x+=+%28-6+%2B-+sqrt%28+84+%29%29%2F%282%29 Multiply 2 and 1 to get 2.


x+=+%28-6+%2B-+2%2Asqrt%2821%29%29%2F%282%29 Simplify the square root (note: If you need help with simplifying square roots, check out this solver)


x+=+%28-6%29%2F%282%29+%2B-+%282%2Asqrt%2821%29%29%2F%282%29 Break up the fraction.


x+=+-3+%2B-+sqrt%2821%29 Reduce.


x+=+-3%2Bsqrt%2821%29 or x+=+-3-sqrt%2821%29 Break up the expression.


So the solutions are x+=+-3%2Bsqrt%2821%29 or x+=+-3-sqrt%2821%29

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x = width, so length is then x+3

Area = Length*Width

A = LW

108 = (x+3)*x

108 = x(x+3)

108 = x^2+3x

0 = x^2+3x-108

0 = (x-9)(x+12)

(x-9)(x+12)=0

x-9 = 0 or x+12 = 0

x=9 or x=-12

Throw out the negative width to get x = 9

So the width is 9 meters and the length is 12 meters (since 9+3=12)
