12 people are entered in a race. if there are no ties, in how many ways can the first three places come out.

1320

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple permutation.

Since you start with 12 people and there are 3 winners, after every winner the number pf people available to win decrease.

First, there are 12 people, then after the first win there are 11 people, and after the 2nd win, for the third win the there are 10 people.

Thus, to find the total number of combinations, you multiply:

12*11*10=1320

Thus, there are 1320 possible combinations

i can you with this sweetie!

step-by-step explanation:

solution:

the given function is ,

      =

the three roots of this quadratic function is , 0 ,8 and 10.all the roots are real and rational.

if a quadratic equation is of the form ,

sum of the roots = a + b +c= 0+8+10=18=  

product of roots taken two at a time = a b + b c+ c a = 0+80+0=80 =  

product of roots = a b c = 0=  

there are 11 doors in a hall starting from 0 to 11.the entry in the hall is permitted through gate number 0 and exit is allowed through only gate number 8 and 10.so, three roots(0,8,10) of quadratic function is given by entry and exit route of this hall.
