me married. If Thenardiers must sit next to one another and Cosette and Marius must sit next to one another, but there are no restrictions on how others can sit, how many different ways can you sit 13 people around a circular table?

Answer: 14,515,200

Note: this is a single number (not an ordered triple or a collection of three different numbers) roughly equal to about 14.5 million if you round to the nearest hundred thousand.

----------------------------------------------

Explanation:

There are 13 people. Let's call them person A, person B, person C, ... all the way up to person M. The first four people are given who we'll call A through D. The rest (E through M) aren't really important since they aren't named. 

A = Monsier Thenardier
B = Madame Thenardier
C = Cosette
D = Marius
Peron's E through M = remaining 9 people

------------------

A and B must stick together. Because of this, we can consider "AB" as one "person".
So we go from 13 people to 13-2+1 = 12 "people". 

Likewise, C and D must stick together. We can consider "CD" as one "person". So we go from 12 "people" to 12-2+1 = 11 "people"

------------------

The question is now: how many ways can we arrange these 11 "people" around a circular table? The answer is (n-1)! ways where n = 11 in this case

So, (n-1)! = (11-1)! = 10! = 10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 3,628,800

We're almost at the answer. We need to do two adjustments. 

First off, for any single permutation, there are two ways to arrange "AB". The first is "AB" itself and the second is the reverse of that "BA". So we will multiply 3,628,800 by 2 to get 2*3,628,800 = 7,257,600

Using similar logic for "CD", we double 7,257,600 to get 2*7,257,600 = 14,515,200

The final answer is 14,515,200

Answer:

3) Midpoint is (-4,0.5)

Option A is correct.

4) Midpoint is (2.5,0)

Option B is correct.

5) The factors are (x+4)(x-7)

Option C is correct.

6) The factors are (x+4)(x+2)

Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 3

Find midpoint of the following:

(2,-7), (-10,8)

The formula used to find midpoint is: Midpoint=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )

We have x_1=2, y_1=-7, x_2=-10,y_2=8

Putting values and finding midpoint

Midpoint=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )\\Midpoint=(\frac{2-10}{2},\frac{-7+8}{2} )\\Midpoint=(\frac{-8}{2},\frac{1}{2} )\\Midpoint=(-4,0.5 )

So, Midpoint is (-4,0.5)

Option A is correct.

Question 4

Find midpoint of the following:

(2,-10), (3,10)

The formula used to find midpoint is: Midpoint=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )

We have x_1=2, y_1=-10, x_2=3,y_2=10

Putting values and finding midpoint

Midpoint=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )\\Midpoint=(\frac{2+3}{2},\frac{-10+10}{2} )\\Midpoint=(\frac{5}{2},\frac{0}{2} )\\Midpoint=(2.5,0 )

So, Midpoint is (2.5,0)

Option B is correct.

Question 5

Factor each completely

x^2-3x-28

We will break the middle term and find factors

x^2-3x-28\\=x^2-7x+4x-28\\Taking\:common\\=x(x-7)+4(x-7)\\=(x+4)(x-7)

So, the factors are (x+4)(x-7)

Option C is correct.

Question 6

Factor each completely

x^2+6x+8

We will break the middle term and find factors

x^2+6x+8\\=x^2+4x+2x+8\\=x(x+4)+2(x+4)\\=(x+4)(x+2)

So, the factors are (x+4)(x+2)

Option A is correct.

Answer:

The length of the slide is 10 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of the slide you have to use the formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 (^2 means squared)

In this case:

a= 6 and b=8 c= unknown

6 squared (6 times 6) is 36

8 squared (8 times 8) is 64

Add these two numbers to get:

36+64=100

6^2+8^2=100

However, the length of the slide in not 100 feet. In order to find the correct length you must find the square root of 100. Which is 10.

What number times itself equals 100? 10.

The length of the slide in 10 feet.

Answer:

77 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

sector formula = x°/360° × πr^2

=77°/360°×22/7×10.7×10.7

=76.96 in

As it is asked the nearest tenth it's 77 inches.
