One bite-sized math problem set for the day. Solve the 10 multiple-choice problems and reveal the worked solutions.
The number of ways to arrange distinct books on a shelf is:
.
equals:
. .
Calculați .
Aplicând regula produsului: .
If are the roots of , then equals:
By Viète's formulas, and . Hence .
If the data set has standard deviation , the standard deviation of is:
. With : .
The solution set of the inequality is:
Domain constraint: .
Inequality: . Since the base , is decreasing, so the inequality flips: , i.e. , so .
Intersection with the domain: .
The curve passes through . Find at that point.
Differentiate both sides implicitly (product rule on ):
Substitute :
Solve for :
The set of all complex solutions of is:
. Solutions: or .
Two boxes — Box A has red and blue; Box B has red and blue. A box is chosen at random and a ball is drawn. Given the ball is red, the probability it came from Box A is:
, , .
.
The determinant equals (Vandermonde):
. (It's zero iff at least two of are equal.)
