Suppose you are organizing a business meeting and are in charge of facilitating the introductions. How would you arrange a group

of n people so each person can shake hands with every other person? How might you organize this process? How many times will each person shake hands with someone else? How many handshakes will occur? How must your method vary according to wether or not n is even or odd?

Hi,
This is using 'n', so there would be a lot of possibilities, but I would form a circle with the group of people, then each person would shake the person to their right, and then to their right, one time. This method would not vary because a circle can contain even or odd number of people.

Hope this helps!

a bag contains 5 red marbles, 3 yellow marbles, and 2 blue marbles. Once a marble is drawn, it is not replaced.what is the proba
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
5 red, 3 yellow, and 2 blue....for a total of 10 marbles

P(first one being blue) = 2/10 which reduces to 1/5
not replaced
P(second one is blue) = 1/9...because u already pick a blue, meaning there is only 1 left, and there is one less marble, so there is a total of 9 marbles.

P(both events happening) = 1/5 * 1/9 = 1/45 <==

What is the axis of symmetry of the function f(x) = –(x + 9)(x – 21)?
ludmilkaskok [199]
First, we have to realize that this is factored form, so we have to put this in standard quadratic form using FOIL, which is a rule mandating how we multiply the numbers here. F stands for First, which means the first number inside the parentheses for both of them, then O means the first number in the first quantity(fancy word for parentheses) multiplied by the last number of the second quantity, and so forth. When you are done, you combine like terms

anyway, you end up with x²-12x-189, but you have to inverse all numbers because of the parentheses in front, so it becomes -x²+12x+189.

Now you can find the axis of symmetry uisng the equation -b=2a (oh yeah, I forgot to mention: the standard quadratic form is a(x)²+b(x)+c already). So you do -12 / -2, which then becomes 6.

The axis of symmetry is 6

The square below has an area of 22 - 10.2 + 25 square meters.
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

x = 1.89

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve 22 - 10.2 + 25 to get 36.8 as the square's area.

Set up the equation 36.8 = (-10x + 25)^2 to represent the relationship between one side length and the area.

Reverse the equation to solve for x! Find the square root of both sides to cancel out the exponent. This gets you: 6.07 = -10x + 25.

Subtract 25 from both sides, then divide by -10 to get x by itself.

x = 1.89
