Answer:

The no. of possible handshakes takes place are 45.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : There are 10 people in the party .

To Find: Assuming all 10 people at the party each shake hands with every other person (but not themselves, obviously) exactly once, how many handshakes take place?

Solution:

We are given that there are 10 people in the party

No. of people involved in one handshake = 2

To find the no. of possible handshakes between 10 people we will use combination over here

Formula : ^nC_r=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

n = 10

r= 2

Substitute the values in the formula

^{10}C_{2}=\frac{10!}{2!(10-2)!}

^{10}C_{2}=\frac{10!}{2!(8)!}

^{10}C_{2}=\frac{10 \times 9 \times 8!}{2!(8)!}

^{10}C_{2}=\frac{10 \times 9 }{2 \times 1}

^{10}C_{2}=45

No. of possible handshakes are 45

Hence The no. of possible handshakes takes place are 45.

max2010maxim [7]
The complete question in the attached figure

we know that
[area of a circle]=pi*r²
for r=1 unit
[area of a circle]=pi*1²---------> pi units²

if the area a full circle of 360°--------------> is pi
the area of sector 88°------------------------> X
X=88*pi/360--------> 0.77 units²

the answer is
<span> the area of sector AOB is 0.77 units</span>²

Please help if you know the answer

It's C. When you're dividing g(x) by f(x), you get the equations in both B. and C., but C is more correct because you can't have x=-1/3 because the function is undefined at that number (you can't have the denominator equal 0)
