Since the problem is not concerned about the order of choosing the captain, the concept used is the combination. From 8 players, 2 are to be chosen,
                                  8C2 
The numerical value of the combination is 28. Thus, the answer is letter B.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option: B is the correct answer.

                   B.  28

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

It is given that the total number of players in a basketball team are: 8

Now in order to select two players out of the total 8 players we need to use the method of combination since the objective is just to chose them and not to arrange.

Hence, the number of ways of doing so is calculated as:

                    8_C_2

which is solved as:

8_C_2=\dfrac{8!}{2!\times (8-2)!}\\\\\\8_C_2=\dfrac{8!}{2!\times 6!}\\\\\\8_C_2=\dfrac{8\times 7\times 6!}{2\times 6!}\\\\\\8_C_2=\dfrac{8\times 7}{2}\\\\\\8_C_2=28

Hence, the number of ways of doing so is:

                             28

1. What are the solutions (coordinate points) to the system of equations?
Leto [7]

Question 1

The given system of equations is:

y =  {x}^{2}  + 5x + 6 \\ y = 3x + 6

Equate the two equations:

{x}^{2}  + 5x + 6 = 3x + 6

Rewrite in standard form:

{x}^{2}  + 5x - 3x + 6 - 6 = 0

{x}^{2}   + 2x = 0

x(x + 2) = 0

x = 0 \: or \: x =  - 2

When we put x=0, in y=3x +6, we get:

y = 3(0) + 6 = 6

One solution is (0,6)

When we put x=-2, into y=3x+6, we get:

y = 3( - 2) + 6 = 0

Another solution is (-2,0)

The solutions are; (0,6) and (-2,0)

Question 2:

The function is

f(x) =  {x}^{6}  -  {x}^{4}

Let us put x=-x,

f( - x) =  {( - x)}^{6}  -  {( - x)}^{4}

This gives:

f( - x) =  {x}^{6}  -  {x}^{4}

We can observe that:

f(x) = f( - x)

This is the property of an even function.

Question 3:

The given function is

f(x) =  {x}^{2}  + 3x - 2

The average rate of change of f(x) from x=a to x=b is given as:

\frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a}

This is the slope of the secant line connecting the two points on f(x)

From x=2 to x=6, the average rate of change

=  \frac{f(6) - f(2)}{6 - 2} \\   =  \frac{ {6}^{2}  + 3 \times 6 -  2 -  {2}^{2}   -  3 \times 2  + 2 }{4} \\   =  \frac{36 + 18 - 4  - 6}{4}  \\  =  \frac{44}{4}   \\ = 11

The average rate of change is 11

A cube has a surface area of 384 square inches. What is the edge lenth of the cube? Explain pls
m_a_m_a [10]
Since there are 6 sides to a cube we can divide the total surface area by 6 to find the area of a single side

384 / 6 = 64

since the side of a cube is a square the sides are the same length, so we need a number, that when multiplied by itself is 64. The answer is 8

Which is the graph of fx x2 2x 3
photoshop1234 [79]

In the picture we can see the graph represents of the function f(x)=x²-2x+3 that is curve graph.

Given that,

We have to find the graph represents the function f(x)=x²-2x+3.

We know that,

The quadratic function is f(x)=x²-2x+3.

This is a vertical parabola open downward

The vertex is a maximum

We know,

A vertical parabola's equation in vertex form is equal to

y= a(x-h)²+k

where

a is a coefficient

(h,k) is the vertex

Here

a=1

(h,k)=(0,3)  is vertex

The y-intercept is the point (0,3) is value of y when the value of x is equal to zero (is the same point that the vertex)

The x-intercepts are the points is values of x when the value of y is equal to zero  

Therefore, In the picture we can see the graph represents of the function f(x)=x²-2x+3.
