Over the summer a bunch of math teachers from different schools got together for a BBQ. Not one of the teachers knew each other

and greets each other with a hearty handshake. How many handshakes will occur at the party if every one of the 15 math teachers shakes hands with each of the others?

The first partner in the handshake can be any one of 15 people. 
The second partner can be any one of 14 people. 
So the total number of possible arrangements is (15 x 14) = <u>210</u> .

<em><u>BUT . . . .</u></em>

If Mr. Smith and Mr. Jones are shaking hands, it doesn't matter which one is the first partner and which one is the second partner ...  It's the same handshake either way.

That number of ' <u>210</u> ' up above counted both ways separately.  The real number of handshakes <em>between different people</em> is half of that   210/2 = <em>105 handshakes</em>.

Harman [31]

Answer:

y=55x

given y=385

x=gallons of gas = 385/55 = 7 gallons

inverse function

y=55x

change x to y and y to x

x=55y

y=x/55

inverse function is x/55

What is the solution to the system of linear equations whose graphs are shown below?
Aleonysh [2.5K]
The solution to the system of linear equations is where the two lines intersect.

Look for the point where the two lines intersect. The x-value is 2 1/2, and the y-value is -4.

The answer is C.

Two streams flow into a reservoir. Let X and Y be two continuous random variables representing the flow of each stream with join
zlopas [31]

Answer:

c = 0.165

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

f(x, y) = cx y(1 + y) for 0 ≤ x ≤ 3 and 0 ≤ y ≤ 3,

f(x, y) = 0 otherwise.

Required:

The value of c

To find the value of c, we make use of the property of a joint probability distribution function which states that

\int\limits^a_b \int\limits^a_b {f(x,y)} \, dy \, dx  = 1

where a and b represent -infinity to +infinity (in other words, the bound of the distribution)

By substituting cx y(1 + y) for f(x, y)  and replacing a and b with their respective values, we have

\int\limits^3_0 \int\limits^3_0 {cxy(1+y)} \, dy \, dx  = 1

Since c is a constant, we can bring it out of the integral sign; to give us

c\int\limits^3_0 \int\limits^3_0 {xy(1+y)} \, dy \, dx  = 1

Open the bracket

c\int\limits^3_0 \int\limits^3_0 {xy+xy^{2} } \, dy \, dx  = 1

Integrate with respect to y

c\int\limits^3_0 {\frac{xy^{2}}{2}  +\frac{xy^{3}}{3} } \, dx (0,3}) = 1

Substitute 0 and 3 for y

c\int\limits^3_0 {(\frac{x* 3^{2}}{2}  +\frac{x * 3^{3}}{3} ) - (\frac{x* 0^{2}}{2}  +\frac{x * 0^{3}}{3})} \, dx = 1

c\int\limits^3_0 {(\frac{x* 9}{2}  +\frac{x * 27}{3} ) - (0  +0) \, dx = 1

c\int\limits^3_0 {(\frac{9x}{2}  +\frac{27x}{3} )  \, dx = 1

Add fraction

c\int\limits^3_0 {(\frac{27x + 54x}{6})  \, dx = 1

c\int\limits^3_0 {\frac{81x}{6}  \, dx = 1

Rewrite;

c\int\limits^3_0 (81x * \frac{1}{6})  \, dx = 1

The \frac{1}{6} is a constant, so it can be removed from the integral sign to give

c * \frac{1}{6}\int\limits^3_0 (81x )  \, dx = 1

\frac{c}{6}\int\limits^3_0 (81x )  \, dx = 1

Integrate with respect to x

\frac{c}{6} *  \frac{81x^{2}}{2}   (0,3)  = 1

Substitute 0 and 3 for x

\frac{c}{6} *  \frac{81 * 3^{2} - 81 * 0^{2}}{2}    = 1

\frac{c}{6} *  \frac{81 * 9 - 0}{2}    = 1

\frac{c}{6} *  \frac{729}{2}    = 1

\frac{729c}{12}    = 1

Multiply both sides by \frac{12}{729}

c    =  \frac{12}{729}

c    =  0.0165 (Approximately)

True or false? Based only on the given information, it is guaranteed that AB CD.
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Option B is correct that is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a figure we need to tell that the two lines are perpendicular

Lines are perpendicular  if they meet at right angle.

Line {\overline{CD}} is perpendicular to {\overline{AB}} vice-versa is not true.

Hence, Option B is correct
