Answer:

2,075,673,600 batting orders may occur.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order of the first eight batters in the batting order is important. For example, if we exchange Jonathan Schoop with Adam Jones in the lineup, that is a different lineup. So we use the permutations formula to solve this problem.

Permutations formula:

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

P_{(n,x)} = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!}

First 8 batters

8 players from a set of 16. So

P_{(16,8)} = \frac{16!}{(16 - 8)!} = 518918400

Last batter:

Any of the four pitchers.

How many different batting orders may​ occur?

4*518918400 = 2,075,673,600

2,075,673,600 batting orders may occur.

Ned rides his bike 6 miles to the store and 6 miles back. The graph shows the relationship between the distance Ned is from home
Degger [83]

Answer:

The answer is D

Step-by-step explanation:

A cant be right because the graph isn't a straight line.

B cant be right because from 0 to 60 the graph the line goes at a(n) upward slope not a straight line.

Although the first part of question c is right, the second part is wrong. From 50-90 the ling goes at a downward slope via decreasing, which isn't equal like it said so question C is wrong.

So the correct answer is D
