The number of handshakes is the number of ways 6 objects can be selected 2 at a time.

.. C(6,2) = 6·5/(2·1) = 15


The appropriate choice is

... C) 15


_____

Consider that each person can shake hands with 5 others. That's a total of 6*5 = 30 handshakes, but it counts both A shaking with B and B shaking with A. If each pair of persons only shakes hands once, the number of handshakes is 30/2 = 15.

Find the coordinates of a point that divides the directed line segment PQ in the ratio 5:3. A) (2, 2) B) (4, 1) C) (–6, 6) D) (4
Yuri [45]

Answer:

The answer is explained below

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is not complete we need point P and point Q.

let us assume P is at (3,1) and Q is at (-2,4)

To find the coordinate of the point that divides a line segment PQ with point P at (x_1,y_1) and point Q at (x_2,y_2) in the proportion a:b, we use the formula:

x-coordinate:\\\frac{a}{a+b}(x_2-x_1)+x_1 \\\\While \ for\ y-coordinate:\\\frac{a}{a+b}(y_2-y_1)+y_1

line segment PQ  is divided in the ratio 5:3 let us assume P is at (3,1) and Q is at (-2,4). Therefore:

x-coordinate:\\\frac{5}{5+3}(-2-3)+3 \\\\While \ for\ y-coordinate:\\\frac{5}{5+3}(4-1)+1

16) Your salary goes from $8.75 an hour at your present job to $16.50 an hour in your new job. What is
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The percent change in salary from one job to the next is 88.57%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The previous salary of per hour =  $8.75 per hour

The current salary of per hour  = $16.50 per hour

Change in the salary rate per hour  =  Current salary  -  Previous Salary

                                                             = $16.50 per hour -  $8.75 per hour

                                                             =$7.75 per hour

⇒The change in the salary per hour rate is $7.75

Now, \textrm{Percentage Change in salary}  = \frac{\textrm{Change in the rate of salary}}{\textrm{Previous Salary}}  \times 100

= \frac{7.75}{8.75}  \times 100 = 88.57

or, the change in salary percentage is 88.57%

Hence, the percent change in salary from one job to the next is 88.57%.

Ship A and Ship B are 120 km apart when they pick up a distress call from another boat. Ship B estimates that they are 70 km awa
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

147.5 km and 64.4 km

Step-by-step explanation:

a=120  km

b=70  km

β=28 degrees ( ∘)

 

b^2=(a^2)+(c^2)−2ac*cosβ  

70^2 =(120^2 )+(c^2)−2⋅ 120⋅ c⋅ cos(28∘ )  

 (c^2 ) −211.907c+9500=0  

 

note p, q, and r are replacement variables in the Pythagorean theorem since a, b, and c are already in use

p=1;q=−211.907;r=9500  

D=(q^2 ) −4pr=(211.907^2 )−4⋅1⋅9500=6904.75561996  

D>0  

 

c_{1,2}  =   (−q±  \sqrt{D}   )/2p=(211.91±\sqrt{6904.76})/2

​c_{1,2}  =105.95371114±41.5474295834  

(c_{1}−147.501140726)(c_{2}−64.4062815596)=0

c_{1}=147.501140726  

c_{2}=64.4062815596
