Step-by-step explanation:

There are total 12 People

Person 1, Person 2,3,4,5,6,7, 9, 10, 11 and 12 at a round table

12 Chairs: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 and 12

Let chairs 1 and 2 be next to each other

Person 1 is at chair 1 and Person 2 is at chair 2

The rest of the people on 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 and 12 - can sit in 10! ways

Next, Person 1 and Person 2 change their positions;

Person 1 is sitting at 2 and Person 2 is sitting at 1

The rest of the people on 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 and 12 - can be rearranged in 10! ways

Therefore, total number of ways in which Person 1 and Person 2 are next to each other is: 2*10! = 7257600

As we then have to find in how many ways they are not sitting next to each other; subtract 7257600 from the total number of possible arrangements.

In circular permutation,

Total number of arrangements of n people = (n-1)!

Here the number of people is 12

Arrangement = (12-1)! = 11!= 39916800

Therefore, the number of ways Person 1 and Person 2 are not next to each other = 39916800 - 7257600 = 2659200

The function h defined by h(t)=(49 + 4.9t)(10 - t) models the height, in meters, of an object t seconds after it is dropped from

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's FOIL this out and get it into standard quadratic format:

$h(t)=-4.9t^2+490$ . The lack of a linear term in the middle means therewas no upwards velocity, consistent with the object being dropped straight down as opposed to thrown up in the air tand then falling in a parabolic path. The -4.9t² represents the acceleration due to gravity, and the 490 represents the height from which the object was dropped. The constant in a quadratic that is modeling parabolic motion always represents the height from which the object was dropped (or launched). That's how you know.

Y= Pls help solve for

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

$y=39\degree$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given triangle is a right angle triangle .

The known sides of the triangle that is opposite to angle y is 8 units while the side adjacent is 10 units.

The value of y can be calculated using the tangent ratio.

$\tan(y)=\frac{8}{10}$

We solve for y to get,

$y=arctan(\frac{4}{5})$

We evaluate to obtain,

$y=38.66$

$y=39\degree$ to the nearest degree

What is the difference between the mean and the median of the following distribution?

natulia [17]

The definition of mean, is to add up all the numbers and divide it by how many numbers there are. So, in this case the mean would be 1+1+1+2+2+2+2+3+3+4+4+4+4+5+5+6+7+7+8+8+9 = 86. You would then take 86 and divide that by 21, and you would get 4.0
The definition of median states to find the middle of the numbers. So the median would be 4.
So you would just take 4 - 4 = 0.

0 would be correct.

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

The final velocity v is 21.74 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$\textrm{initial velocity} = u = 9\ m/s\\\textrm{acceleration} = a = 7\ m/s^{2}\\\textrm{distance} = s = 28\ m$
