6 different people chosen from 7 can sit around the circular table in 840 ways.

Given that there are 7 people who have arrived for dinner.

But the circular table only seats 6.

Hence 1 person can be left out.

This can be done in 7 ways, which is a simple case of permutation.

A permutation is a combination of objects arranged in a particular sequence. The elements of sets are arranged in this case in a linear or sequential sequence.

Now 6 people will have to sit on the circular table.

Now from the properties of combination we know that , if n people sit around a circular table, then they can sit in n! ways.

Therefore 6 people can sit around a circular table in 6! ways.

6! = 120

Therefore total number of ways = 120 × 7 = 840

Hence 6 different people chosen from 7 can sit around the circular table in 840 ways.

4x^2-21x-18=0<br> Find the discriminate
SpyIntel [72]

a = 4, b = -21, c = -18

to keep from getting "mixed up", evaluate the discriminant first ...

b<sup>2</sup> - 4ac = (-21)<sup>2</sup> - 4(4)(-18) = 729

sqrt(729) = 27

x = (21 +/- 27)/8

x = -3/4, x = 6

since the discriminant is a perfect square, the original quadratic will factor ...

4x<sup>2</sup> - 21x - 18 = 0

(4x + 3)(x - 6) = 0

x = -3/4, x = 6
