At a figure skating competition, the order of skaters is randomly selected. If there are 20 skaters, what is the probability that Christie, Taylor, and Jona will
skate first, second, and third, respectively?

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the permutations:

The arrangement of n things in an order = n!

If we fix that the first, second, and third person for skating, then we to arrange only 17 of the skaters.

Number of ways to arrange rest of 17 skaters = 17!

Number of ways that Christie, Taylor, and Jona will  skate first, second, and third, respectively = 1 x 17!=17!

Number of ways to arrange all 20 skaters = 20!

Now, the required probability =

Hence, the required probability =

when studying polynomials, you often hear the terms zeros, roots, factors and x x the multiplicity of a zero is important because it tells us how the graph of the let's look at the graph of a function that has the same zeros

step-by-step explanation:

correct choice is b

step-by-step explanation:

when you calculate the average rate of change of a function, you are finding the slope of the secant line between the two points. for the function the average rate of change from point to point can be calculated as

to find the average rate of change from day 2 to day 10, note that at day 2, 8 houses were sold, so a(2,8) and at day 10, 2 houses were sold, so b(10,2). thus,
