Captain Jane Way has a total of ten destinations to choose from for her charter plane trips. The number of ways she can arrange her schedule is calculated by finding the factorial of the number of destinations, which is 10!. For the first destination, she has ten choices available. Each subsequent choice decreases by one as destinations are selected. The total arrangements highlight the complexity and variety in scheduling for charter flights.

To form the transpose of a matrix, one exchanges rows and columns, so the transpose of a scalar, considered as (or isomorphic to) a one-entry matrix, should stay the same, including if the scalar is a complex number. On the other hand, in the isomorphism between the complex plane and the real plane, a complex number a+bi corresponds to a matrix in the real plane; taking the transpose we get which then corresponds to a-bi...
