In a race there are 15 runners the trophies for the race are awarded to the races finish and 1st through 3rd place and how many ways can first through third place be determined

There are 2,730 ways that 1st, 2nd and 3rd place can be determined in the race

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 15 (number of runners) possibilities to determine the 1st place

There are 14 possibilities (number of runners - 1) to determine the 2nd place

There are 13 possibilities (number of runners - 2) to determine the 3rd place

Number of ways that 1st, 2nd and 3rd place can be determined = 15 * 14 * 13

Number of ways that 1st, 2nd and 3rd place can be determined = 2,730

the answer is 150.6

step-by-step explanation:

you multiply .02 by 30 and get .6.

and then you multiply 5.00 by 30 and get 150.

hope this !

a) 40 more; b) old factory:   10%, new factory:   16%; c) week 4

explanation:

a) at week 0, we see in the graph that the new factory produces 190 specialty items.  

using the function, substituting 0 in for w,

this is a difference of 230-190 = 40.

b) the function for the old factory is written in the form f(x) = a(1+r)ˣ, where a is the original amount, x is the amount of time and r is the growth rate.   the equation for the old factory is ; 230 is in place of a and is the original amount; w is the amount of time; which means 1+r = 1.1.   this means that r must be 0.1 or 10%.

for the new factory, we find the percent of increase to find the growth rate; the formula for this is

between the first two points, the amount of change is 220-190 = 30; this gives us

30/190 = 0.158 ≈ 0.16 = 16%

c) at week 0, the old factory has 230 while the new factory has 190.

at week 1, the old factory has 230(1.1) = 253 while the new factory has 220.

at week 2, the old factory has 230(1.1²) = 278.3 while the new factory has 252.

at week 3, the old factory has 230(1.1³) = 306.13 while the new factory has 290.

at week 4, the old factory has 230(1.1⁴) = 336.743 while the new factory has 337.   this is the first week that the new factory surpasses the old.
