You have 4 reindeer, Bloopin, Balthazar, Gloopin, and Prancer, and you want to have 3 fly your sleigh. You always have your reindeer fly in a single-file line. How many different ways can you arrange your reindeer?

P43=4!(4–3)!=241=24

Step-by-step explanation:

There are four choices you can make for the lead reindeer. For each possible choice, there are then three remaining you can choose to fly second, making 4×3=12 choices for the lead pair. For each possible choice there are two remaining reindeer to take up the back position, making 12×2=24 choices for the team of three.

This type of problem is called a permutation problem, and we write Pnr for the number of ways of choosing r items from n possibilities when the order of the items matters. In this case we are choosing 3 reindeer from 4 possibilities, and the order they appear in the flying line does matter, so the answer we want is P43. The general formula is Pnr=n!(n−r)!. For the answer we are looking for we therefore have:

P43=4!(4–3)!=241=24

25% is the answer

the formula for the equation of a circle is (x – h)2+ (y – k)2 = r2, where (h, k) represents the coordinates of the center of the circle, and r represents the radius of the circle. if a circle is tangent to the x-axis at (3,0), this means it touches the x-axis at that point.
