First lets find the number of permutations of three ordered groups, A and B, C and D and E and F:
3P3 = 6
However when the order in each of the pairs can be reversed, the number of arrangements meeting the required grouping becomes:
6 * 8 = 48.
The total number of permutations of the 6 people is given by:
6P6 = 720.
Therefore the required probability is found from:
\frac{48}{720} = \frac{1}{15}

What expressions are equivalent to 6.7 - (-2.5)
spayn [35]

Answer:

6.7-\left(-2.5\right)=9.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

6.7-\left(-2.5\right)

Solving the expression to get the equivalent function

6.7-\left(-2.5\right)

\mathrm{Apply\:rule}\:-\left(-a\right)=a

=6.7+2.5

\mathrm{Add\:the\:numbers:}\:6.7+2.5=9.2

=9.2

Thus,

6.7-\left(-2.5\right)=9.2

Use the graph to write an equation for the parabola. (Hard one)
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

  y = (10/9)x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex is at (0, 0), so the parent function is y=x^2 with no vertical or horizontal translation. A vertical scale factor can be used to make the graph go through the given points.

For x=3, the parent function gives ...

  y = 3^2 = 9

The actual value you want is 10, so is a factor of (10/9) times the value you have. That is ...

  10 = (10/9)×9

Applying this scale factor to the parent function gives you ...

  y = (10/9)x^2
