There are

\dbinom{2n}2 = \dfrac{(2n)!}{2! (2n-2)!}

ways of pairing up any 2 members from the pool of 2n contestants. Note that

(2n)! = 1\times2\times3\times4\times\cdots\times(2n-2)\times(2n-1)\times(2n) = (2n-2)! \times(2n-1) \times(2n)

so that

\dbinom{2n}2 = \dfrac{(2n)\times(2n-1)\times(2n-2)!}{2! (2n-2)!} = \boxed{n(2n-1)}

4. What kind of triangle is made by connecting the points A(0, –6), B(3, –6), and C(3, –2)?
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Part 4) Right triangle

Part 5) Kite

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 4) What kind of triangle is made by connecting the points A(0, –6), B(3, –6), and C(3, –2)?

Using a graphing tool    

see the attached figure N 1

The triangle of the figure is not equilateral------> The triangle does not have three equal sides

The triangle of the figure is a right triangle------>The triangle  has an angle of 90\°

The triangle of the figure is not isosceles------> The triangle does not have two equal sides

The triangle of the figure is not a right and isosceles

Part 5) What type of quadrilateral is formed by connecting the points (0, 9), (3, 6), (0, 1), and (-3, 6)?                

Using a graphing tool    

see the attached figure N 2        

The figure is not a rhombus------> All sides are not congruent  

The figure is not a trapezoid-----> has not parallel sides

The figure is a kite------> Two disjoint pairs of consecutive sides are congruent and the diagonals meet at a right angle

The slope of the line below is -1/7.
KatRina [158]

Answer:

y = (-1/7)x + (24/7)

Step-by-step explanation:

The general structure of a line in slope-intercept form is:

y = mx + b

In this form, "m" represents the slope and "b" represents the y-intercept.

You have been given the value of the slope (m = -1/7). You have also been given values for "x" and "y" from the point (3,3). Therefore, you can substitute these values in for their variables and simplify to find the value of the y-intercept.

y = mx + b                                    <----- Slope-intercept form

y = (-1/7)x + b                                <----- Plug -1/7 into "m"

3 = (-1/7)(3) + b                             <----- Plug in "x" and "y" values from point (3,3)

3 = -3/7 + b                                  <----- Multiply -1/7 and 3

24/7 = b                                      <----- Add 3/7 to both sides

Now that you know that m = -1/7 and b = 24/7, you can determine the formula satisfying the given information.

y = (-1/7)x + (24/7)
