Fist convert the equation to vertex form
y = 2(x^2 + 14x) - 8
y = 2 [(x + 7)^2 - 49] - 8
y = 2(x + 7)^2 - 106
So the vertex is at (-7,-106)
Answer:
a) P = 362880 ways
b) P = 2880 ways
Step-by-step explanation:
a) We have four boys and five girls, they are going to sit together in a row of 9 theater seats, without restrictions
We have a permutation of 9 elements
P = 9!
P = 9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1
P = 362880 ways
b) Boys must seat together, we have two groups of people
4 boys they can seat in 4! different ways
P₁ = 4!
P₁ = 4*3*2*1
P₁ = 24
And girls can seat in 5! dfferent ways
P₂ = 5!
P₂ = 5*4*3*2*1
P₂ = 120
To get total ways in the above mentioned condition, we have to multiply P₁*P₂
P = 24*120
P = 2880 ways
Fundamental principle of counting
