Six people are sitting around a circular table, and each person has either blue eyes or green eyes. Let x be the number of peopl

e sitting next to at least one blue-eyed person, and let y be the number of people sitting next to at least one green-eyed person. How many possible ordered pairs (x,y) are there? (For example, (x,y) = (6,0) if all six people have blue eyes, since all six people are sitting next to a blue-eyed person, and zero people are sitting next to a green-eyed person.)

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Six people are sitting around a circular table

and each person has either blue or green eyes.

So; we are told to represent x as the number of people sitting next to at least one blue-eyed person

and y be the number of people sitting next to at least one green-eyed person.

The objective is to find how many possible ordered pairs (x,y) are there?

The ordered pairs (x,y) i.e ( blue , green)   are : ( (6, 0), (6, 2), (6, 4), (5, 3), (5, 5), (3, 3) ).

The above proves the ordered pairs for  at least as blue as green.

Now; to determine the ordered pairs for as many green as blue, we will require to go the opposite direction by reversing the values; so we can arrive at a new values of  10 possible outcomes which are as follows:

(6, 0), (6, 2), (6, 4), (5, 3), (5, 5), (3, 3), (3, 5), (4, 6), (2, 6), (0, 6)

1)When adding two negative numbers, _________ the absolute value of the numbers and keep the negative sign.
butalik [34]


1) add.

for example -1 + -2 = - (||-1| + |-2||), which is -(1+2) or -3


2) subtract

for example 4 + -7 = -(||-7| + |4||), which is - |7 - 4| or -3


3) change
for example 3 - (- 2) = 3 + 2


4) -10

the sum is -10.25, which is closest to -10

Follow these steps and you should get your answer its not the same questions but it should help
The answer to the problem is as follows:

These two polynomials are 5x^2 + 3x + 5 and 3x^2 +2x + 2:

Subtracting the second expression from the first:

<span>5x^2 + 3x + 5
- (3x^2 +2x + 2)
</span>____________
<span>2x2 + x + 3  <------------- The difference

A TV set contains five circuit boards of type A, five of type B, and four of type C. The probability of failing in its first 500
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

0.903264

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a TV set contains five circuit boards of type A, five of type B, and four of type C. The probability of failing in its first 5000 hours of use is 0.03 for a type A circuit board, 0.04 for a type B circuit board, and 0.03 for a type C circuit board.

Let A' = the event that A fails, B' =  B fails and C'= C fails.

Probability that no circuit board fails = Prob (A'B'C')

= P(A')P(B')P(C')  (since A,B, C are independent, their complements are independent

= (1-0.03)(1-0.04)(1-0.03)

= 0.903264

If these are the missing choices:
A)  Segments ST and PQ are parallel.
B) Angle P is congruent to itself due to the reflexive property.
C) RP is a transversal line passing ST and PQ.
<span>D) Angles RTS and RQP are congruent due to the Corresponding Angles Postulate.

</span>The fact that is not used to prove that PQR is similar to STR is <span>B) Angle P is congruent to itself due to the reflexive property.
