Answer:

45

Step-by-step explanation:

The different pairs of individual can be computed using rule of combination.

The combination is denotes as nCr.

nCr=n!/(r!(n-r)!)

In the given problem n=total candidates=10 and r= Selected candidates=2.

10C2=10!/(2!(10-2)!)

10C2=10*9*8!/(2!8!)

10C2=90/2

10C2=45

So, 45 different pairs of individuals can be selected.

Answer:

45

Step-by-step explanation:

Pairs that can be selected = 10C2

= \frac{10!}{2!(10-2)!}= \frac{10!}{2!*8!}\\  \\= \frac{10*9*8!}{2*1*8!}= \frac{10*9}{2*1}\\  \\= 5 * 9 = 45

Y=x^2+2x+1 find the vertex
Bess [88]
I'm going to put this into vertex form, which is y=a(x-h)^2+k

To do this, you use completing the square. Start by subtracting 1 from each side

-1+y=x^2+2x

Then, divide b (2) by 2 and square it. Add that number to each side. (normally when you complete the square, you take out the gcf of the right side of the equation before you do this. Then, you would multiply (b/2)^2 by the gcf before adding it to the left side. Since there is no gcf, we do not have to worry about this)

2/2=1
1^2=1
-1+1+y=x^2+2x+1

Next, simplify the left side and factor the right side.

y=(x+1)^2

This is vertex form. a=1, h=-1, and k=0

The vertex is (h,k) so it is (-1,0)

hope this helps!

A ship traveled at an average rate of 22 miles per hour going west. It then traveled at an average rate of 12 miles per hour hea
sukhopar [10]
Tw = Time traveled west
Tn = Time traveled north
Tw + Tn = 9 hours
22Tw + 12Tn = 158 miles
Solve the 2 equations and you get
Tw = 5 hours
Tn = 4 hours
12 x 4 = 48 miles traveled north
