Answer:

483 840 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Let you and your friend be A and B.

With three people always between you two,, we have

Case 1: AxxxBxxxxx

Case 2: xAxxxBxxxx

Case 3: xxAxxxBxxx

Case 4: xxxAxxxBxx

Case 5: xxxxAxxxBx

Case 6: xxxxxAxxxB

So there is 6 ways of arranging you two through the line and for each of the six cases,

If you two remained in your positions, the rest can be arranged in 8! ways

Also for each case, you two can interchange your positions in 2! ways

Therefore,

The photographer can rearranged the line keep three people between you an your friend in

8! * 2! * 6 = 483 840 ways

Plss answer!! <br>MERRY Christmas!!! <br>Critical Question. AAAAA

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

abc = 1

We have to prove that,

$\frac{1}{1+a+b^{-1}}+\frac{1}{1+b+c^{-1}}+\frac{1}{1+c+a^{-1}}=1$

We take left hand side of the given equation and solve it,

$\frac{1}{1+a+\frac{1}{b}}+\frac{1}{1+b+\frac{1}{c}}+\frac{1}{1+c+\frac{1}{a}}$

Since, abc = 1,

$\frac{1}{c}=ab$ and c = $\frac{1}{ab}$

By substituting these values in the expression,

$\frac{1}{1+a+\frac{1}{b}}+\frac{1}{1+b+\frac{1}{c}}+\frac{1}{1+c+\frac{1}{a}}=\frac{1}{1+a+\frac{1}{b}}+\frac{1}{1+b+ab}+\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{ab}+\frac{1}{a}}$

$=\frac{b}{b+ab+1}+\frac{1}{1+b+ab}+\frac{ab}{ab+1+b}$

$=\frac{1+b+ab}{1+b+ab}$

$=1$

Which equal to the right hand side of the equation.

Hence, $\frac{1}{1+a+b^{-1}}+\frac{1}{1+b+c^{-1}}+\frac{1}{1+c+a^{-1}}=1$

A stem-and-leaf plot for the number of homeruns hit by 30 high school teams is shown. find the probability that a team chosen at

pantera1 [17]

To answer this you need to read the stem and leaf lot and determine how many values were over 28., Or how many were less than or at 28 and subtract it from 30.

There are 10 teams at 28 or less, so 20 teams are above 28.

The number to the left of the | tells us the tens place of the set of number that come after it.

For example 2|4 7 8 stands for 24, 27, and 28.

If 20 out of 30 were above 28 homeruns, then your probability is 20/30 or 2/3 or 0.667.
