# How many 5-letter words that have the letter 'x' are possible? letters may be repeated, and the words don't have to be meaningful. (hint: first count the words without 'x' ?

QUESTION POSTED AT 26/03/2020 - 02:29 PM

Let's consider all of the possible arrangements for words that DO NOT have the x-letter in it.

Start by drawing a line for the five available slots:

_ _ _ _ _

These will represent the different arrangements of letters.
Since letters may be repeated, these are independent events, meaning the previous does not affect the concurrent term.

Thus, we can have 25 of the 26 different letters, since we're not counting the x.
The second slot can have 25, as well as the third, fourth, and fifth.

We can simplify this to become:

Now, let's consider all of the ways in which a five letter word can be made. Using the same logic, we get:
[tex\text{Arrangements: } 26^{5}[/tex]

Thus, the total number of ways in which we can arrange a 5-letter word with at least one X in it is:

The calculator should do the rest.

It's D: (0,0)
This is because when you put 0 in for x your y value will equal 0 and that is one of your answers, so it's the point (0,0)

### What is the effect on the graph of the function f(x) = 2x when f(x) is changed to f(3x)? A) vertical stretching B) vertical compression C) horizontal compression D) horizontal stretching

C)  Horizontal compression

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, if y = f(x) is a function,

Then y = a f(x) gives a vertical stretch if a > 1 and gives a vertical compression if 0 < a < 1.

Also, y = f(bx) gives a horizontal stretch when 0 < b < 1 and gives a horizontal compression if b > 1.

Here,

The given parent function is,

f(x) = 2x

And, 3 > 1

Thus, by the above statements,

f(3x) will give a horizontal compression.

Hence, Option C is correct.

The function started facing up with a vertex at (0,0) since 7 was added before squaring , the graph shifts 7 units up so the vertex at (7,0) also , the function is negative do the graph is pointing down.

### HELP ASAP Given s(x) = 3x - 6 and t(x) = 6 - 3x. find the simplified formula and domain for v(x)=(s/t) and w(x)=(t/s)(x)

v(x)=(s/t)
= (3x - 6) / (-3x+6)
= [3(x-2)] / [-3(x-2)] --> 3 is factored out
= 1/-1
---> common terms are cancelled out.
= -1 ---> This is the simplified formula.

To find the domain, we equate the denominator to 0.
-3x+6 = 0
3x = 6
x = 2
Domain: all values except 2.

w(x)=(t/s)(x)
= (-3x+6)x / (3x-6)
= [-3x(x-2)] / [3(x-2)] --> 3 is factored out
= -x --> The common terms are cancelled out. This is the simplified formula.

Solving for domain:
3x-6 = 0
3x = 6
x = 2
Domain: all values except 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Maria will spin the arrow on the spinner 2 times.

To find : What is the probability that the arrow will stop on the same letter twice.

Solution : We have given a spinner that spin twice and stop on the same letter.

Formula for probability = .

Here, total part of spinner = 3 and it spin two times

So, total possible outcome = 6.  Arrow ston on same letter twice( favorable outcome) =2.

Plugging the values in formula :

Probability =  .

Probability =  .

Therefore,  probability that the arrow will stop on the same letter twice = (c).

### Describe each of the following properties of the graph of the cosine function, f(theta) = cos(theta), and relate the property to the unit circle definition of cosine. Amplitude Period Domain Range x-intercepts I know the definitions and descriptions, I just need to know how it relates to the unit circle

Amplitude: the height of the graph from the peak to the axis. On the unit circle it would be the radius (max and min values) at 0, pi/2, 2pi
Period: the length of one full cycle of the cos graph. On the unit circle it is the circumference. The distance around a circle with radius = 1.
Domain: the x value or the values on the horizontal axis. On the unit circle these would be the radian measures around the unit circle such as pi/6, pi/4,
pi/3, pi/2.
Range: the y value or the values on the vertical axis. On the unit circle it would be the cosine value for each radian measure. Such as cos pi/4 = (sqrt2)/2, cos pi/3= 1/2.
X-intercepts: the points where the graph crosses the horizontal axis. On the unit circle these are the cosine values when theta is at the vertical points of the unit circle, pi/2 and 3pi/2.
