A comedian knows eleven jokes. One joke is old, one joke is new, and the other jokes are somewhere between. If the order in wh
ich these jokes are told makes a difference in terms of how they are received, how many ways can they be delivered if the old joke is told first and the new joke is told last?
Step-by-step explanation: If one and 11 stay in the same place then it would start as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. then it would be 1, 10, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11. then 1, 9, 10, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,11 and so one.
When you are solving using square roots, you need to be aware that answers can be both positive and negative. When we solve this, you see there are two possible answers.
x^2 - 9 = 0
x^2 = 9
x = +/- 3
While 3 is an answer, so is -3. If we square either of those numbers, we get 9, which will satisfy the equation.
