The ordered pair that describes the origin is (0, 0).
That's because x=0 and y=0 at the origin.
To find in how many ways this can be done, we can use the method of combination.
As the customer have to choose 2 out of 3 appetizers, the combination would be 3C2.
For 4 out of 5 main courses, the combination wouls be 5C4.
For 6 out of 8 desserts, the combination would be 8C6.
We can then combine them into a single equation to find the answer:
3C2 x 5C4 x 8C6
=420
Therefore, the answer is 420 ways.
Hope it helps!
Not quite sure what you mean by brackets, but you can get the solution to this equation in a few steps:
<span>(-2x - 1)</span>² <span>= 0 ... square root both sides to eliminate the squared binomial
</span>√(-2x - 1)² = √0 ... simplify; the square is canceled out and the root of 0 brings you back to 0
-2x - 1 = 0 ... solve like a two-step equation
-2x = 1
x = -1/2 is your x-value.
Answer:
and 
Step-by-step explanation:
The null hypothesis
states that a population parameter (such as the mean, the standard deviation, and so on) is equal to a hypothesized value. We can write the null hypothesis in the form 
In this context, the investigator's null hypothesis should be that the average total weight is no different than the reported value by the FAA. We can write it in this form
.
The alternative hypothesis
states that a population parameter is smaller, greater, or different than the hypothesized value in the null hypothesis. We can write the alternative hypothesis in one of three forms

The investigator wants to know if the average weight of passengers flying on small planes exceeds the FAA guideline of the average total weight of 185 pounds. He should use
as his alternative hypothesis.
