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.

What is the unit rate of the proprrional relationship represented by the equation y=3x
NeX [460]

The unit rate of the proportional relationship y = 3x is 3

<h3>How to determine the unit rate?</h3>

The proportional relationship is given as:

y = 3x

Divide both sides by x

y/x = 3

For a proportional relationship y/x = k;

The unit rate is 3

This means that the unit rate of the proportional relationship y = 3x is 3

Find an equation for the plane through the points p=(0,0,0), q=(0,1,0), and r=(1,2,3)
jek_recluse [69]
Hello,

Assume Ax+By+Cz+D=0 the plane 's equation.

p=(0,0,0)==>A*0+B*0+C*0+D=0==>D=0

q=(0,1,0)==>A*0+B*1+C*0+0=0==>B=0

r=(1,2,3)==>A*1+0*2+C*3+0=0==>A=-3C
Let C=1==>A=-3

An equation of the plane is -3x+z=0

At 107°F, a certain insect chirps at a rate of 92 times per minute, and at 113°F, they chirp 116 times per minute. Write an equa
dsp73

Answer:

The equation in slope-intercept form that represents the situation is y=0.25*x + 84 where y represents the temperature in ° F and x the number of chirps per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear equation can be expressed in the form y=m*x + b. In this equation, x and y are coordinates of a point, m is the slope and b is the y coordinate of the y-intercept. Since this equation describes a line in terms of its slope and its y-intercept, this equation is said to be in its slope-intercept form.

When there are two points of a line (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the slope is determined by the quotient between the difference of the ordinate of these two points and the difference of the abscissa of the same points. This is:

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

Having a point on the line, you can substitute the values ​​of m, x and y in the equation y = mx + b and thus find b.

In this case:

  • (x1, y1): (92, 107)
  • (x2, y2): (116, 113)

So:

m=\frac{113-107}{116-92}

m= 0.25

substituting the values ​​of m, x1 and y1 in the equation y = mx + b you have:

107= 0.25*92 + b

107 - 0.25*92= b

84=b

<u><em>The equation in slope-intercept form that represents the situation is y=0.25*x + 84 where y represents the temperature in ° F and x the number of chirps per minute.</em></u>
