If x people play each other in pairs exactly once, then there will be
hmm

if 1, then 0 games
if 2, then 1 game
if 3 then 3 games ab, ac, bc
if 4 then ab, ac, ad, bc, bd, cd then 6 games
if 5 then ab, ac, ad, ae, bc, bd, be, cd, ce, de
we see a pattern
summation
first term is 0, when n=1
increases by 1
so
S_n=\frac{n(0+n-1)}{2} simlified to
S_n=\frac{n(n-1)}{2}

for n games, a total of \frac{n(n-1)}{2} games are played

for 27 players, there are a total of \frac{27(27-1)}{2}=\frac{27(26)}{2}= 27(13)=351 games

A hiker on the Appalachian Trail planned to increase the distance covered by 10% each day. After 7 days, the total distance trav
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

  6.0 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence of distances is a geometric sequence with first term a1 and common ratio (1 +10%) = 1.10. The sum of 7 terms of the sequence is ...

  S7 = a1·(r^7 -1)/(r -1)

  56.923 = a1·(1.1^7 -1)/(1.1 -1)

  5.6923 = a1·0.9487171

Dividing by the coefficient of a1 gives its value:

  5.6923/0.9487171 ≈ 5.999997 ≈ 6.000

The hiker traveled 6.0 miles on the first day.

Write the equation of a line Parallel to the given line and passes through points (-4, -3); (2, 3). Hints find the slope by usin
julia-pushkina [17]

First, we obtain the gradient (slope) of the first parallel line

\text{gradient, m}_1\text{ = }\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\text{ = }\frac{3-(-3)}{2-(-4)}=\frac{6}{6}\text{ = 1}

Recall that since both lines are parallel, we have that,

m_1=m_2

Thus

m_2\text{ = 1}

Hence, we can find the equation of the parallel line given that it passes through the points (-4, -3)

Using

\begin{gathered} y\text{ = mx + c} \\ \text{where m = m}_2\text{ = 1} \\ \text{and x = -4 ,  y = -3, we have} \\ -3\text{ = 1(-4) + c} \\ -3\text{ = -4 + c} \\ 4\text{ - 3 = c} \\ c\text{ = 1} \\ \text{Thus, the equation of the line is y = (1)x + 1} \\ y\text{ = x + 1} \end{gathered}
