Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The number of friends : 3

If we introduce one by one , then the number of ways to introduce them is given by permutations .

We can choose first friend in 3 ways , second in 2 and the third in one way.

Then , the number of ways of introducing 3 friends one at a time is given by :-

$3!=3\times2\times1=6$

Therefore, the number of ways of introducing 3 friends = 6

Problem 3: Let x = price of bag of pretzels Let y = price of box of granola bars
We have Lesley's purchase: 4x+2y=13.50
And Landon's: 1x+5y=17.55
We can use the elimination method. Let's negate Landon's purchase by multiplying by -1. -1x-5y=-17.55
We add this four times to Lesley's purchase to eliminate the x variable.
2y-20y=13.50-70.2
-18y=-56.7
y = $3.15 = Price of box of granola bars

Plug back into Landon's purchase to solve for pretzels.
x+5*3.15=17.55
x+15.75=17.55
x = $1.80 = price of bag of pretzels

Problem 4.
Let w = number of wood bats sold
Let m = number of metal bats sold

From sales information we have: w + m = 23
24w+30m=606
Substitution works well here. Solve for w in the first equation, w = 23 - m, and plug this into the second.
24*(23-m)+30m=606
552-24m+30m=606
6m=54
m=9 = number of metal bats sold
Therefore since w = 23-m, w = 23-9 = 14. 14 wooden bats were sold.

How do i solve 3x² - 8x + 2 = 0 using quadratic formula?

DENIUS [597]

$3x^2 - 8x + 2 = 0\\ \\a=3 , \ \ b=-8 , \ \ c=2 \\ \\x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} =\frac{8-\sqrt{ (-8)^2-4 \cdot 3\cdot 2}}{2 \cdot 3} =\frac{8-\sqrt{ 64-24 }}{6} =\\ \\ =\frac{8-\sqrt{40 }}{6} = \frac{ 8-\sqrt{4\cdot 10 } }{6} = \frac{ 8-2\sqrt{ 10 }}{6} = \frac{2 (4-\sqrt{ 10 })}{6} = \frac{ 4-\sqrt{ 10 } }{3}$

$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} =\frac{8+\sqrt{ (-8)^2-4 \cdot 3\cdot 2}}{2 \cdot 3} = \frac{ 4+\sqrt{ 10 } }{3}$
