in a window display at a flower shop, there are 3 spots for 1 plant each. to fill these 3 spots, adam has 7 plants to select from, each of a different type. Selecting from the 7 plants, adam can make how many display arrangements with 1 plant in each spot? (Note: the positions of the unselected plants do not matter.)

Since, the arrangement does not matter, we use the principle of combination, Hence, the number of display arrangement possible is 210

This could be defined thus as : (7C3) × 3! ;

3! = number of ways to arrange the 3 plants into the 3 spots

Recall :

7C3 =

7C3 =

3! = 3 × 2 × 1 = 6

(7C3) × 3! = 35 × 6 = 210 ways

Therefore, there are 210 possible arrangements which can be made.

210

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the number of combinations of n things taken r at a time is given by :-

So, number of ways to select 3 plants out of 7 =

Also number of ways to arrange them in 3 positions = 3! = 6

Now , total number of arrangements with 1 plant in each spot = (number of ways to select 3 plants out of 7) x (number of ways to arrange them in 3 positions)

= 35 x 6

=210

Hence, required number of ways = 210

(0,-3) see attached graph

step-by-step explanation:

a. to solve the system, graph the two equations.

x = y+3 becomes y=x-3 has m=1/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move up 1 unit and 1 unit to the right. plot a point and connect.

y=-4x+3 has m =-4/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move down four units and to the right 1 unit. plot a point and connect.

the solution is the point (x,y) where the two lines intersect. by the graph below it is (0,-3).

b. to solve by substitution, substitute y = -4x-3 into x= y+3

x= (-4x-3) +3

x=-4x

5x=0

x=0

now substitute x = 0 back in to find y.

y= -4(0)-3

y=0-3

y=-3

solution is (0,-3)

c. use elimination by adding the equations together.

x-y=3

4x+y=-3

5x=0

x=0

then substitute into one equation to find y.

y=-4(0)-3

y=-3

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form
