<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

1)         First       and        Second         and         Third

  \dfrac{3\ total\ prizes}{29\ total\ people}\times \dfrac{2\ remaining\ prizes}{28\ remaining\ people}\times \dfrac{1\ remaining\ prize}{27\ remaining\ people}=\dfrac{6}{21,924}\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \quad =\large\boxed{\dfrac{1}{3,654}}

2)         First       and          Second

   \dfrac{3\ total\ prizes}{29\ total\ people}\times \dfrac{2\ remaining\ prizes}{28\ remaining\ people}=\dfrac{6}{812}=\large\boxed{\dfrac{13}{406}}

3)\quad \dfrac{29!}{(29-10)!}=\large\boxed{72,684,900,288,000}

4)\quad _{10}C_3=\dfrac{10!}{3!(10-3)!}=\large\boxed{120}

What is the sign of f on the interval -2
TEA [102]

Answer:

f is sometimes positive and sometimes negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=(x-3)(x+2)(x+4)(x+4)(x-1)(2x-9)

Take x=-1\in(-2,\frac{9}{2})\ as-2

f(-1)=(-1-3)(-1+2)(-1+4)(-1-1)(-2-9)\\\\=(-4)(1)(3)(-2)(-11)\\\\=-264\\\\f(-1)

Take x=2\in(-2,\frac{9}{2})\ as\ -2

f(2)=(2,-3)(2+2)(2+4)(2-1)(2\times2-9)\\\\=(-1)(4)(6)(1)(-5)\\\\=120\\\\f(2)>0

Hence f(x) for x=-1 and f(x)>0 for x=2

So f is sometimes positive and sometimes negative in the interval.
