The equation that describes the relation between the number of games (g) and the number of teams (n) is given as follows:
g = n^2 - n
Now, we are given that the number of games is 132. This means that g=132. To know the number of teams, substitute with the given g in the given equation as follows:
g = n^2 - n
132 = n^2 - n
n^2 - n - 132 = 0 .......> factorize this expression
(n-12)(n-11) = 0
This means that:
either n = 12 teams
Or n = -11 teams (this solution is rejected as the number of teams cannot be negative)
Therefore, based on the above calculations, if the number of games is 132, then, the number of teams is 12
Answer:
-5/3
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for slope we use the slope formula which is y2-y1/x2-x1.
For this problem I chose the points: (-5,10) and (-2,5)
-5 is x1, 10 is y1, -2 is x2 and 5 is y2
We now plug in the points into the slope formula:
5-10/-2-(-5)= -5/3
Somehow i got 2.5 guess i am wrong...
Answer: D) 32
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a parallelogram equals its base times its height. Substitute the base and area into this formula to solve for the height:
A=bh
40=(5)(h)
h=8
If ABCD is a parallelogram, opposite sides are parallel, so AB is parallel to DC. If AB is parallel to DC, EB is parallel to DC. Since EB is parallel to DC, quadrilateral EBCD has at least one pair of parallel sides, making it a trapezoid. The area of a trapezoid is equal to where h is the height, is one base, and is the other base. Plug the necessary values into the formula:
A=
h=8
A=
A=32
The answer is D) 32.
