Total number of ways to make a pair:
The first player can be any one of 7 . For each of those . . .
The opponent can be any one of the remaining 6 .
Total ways to make a pair = 7 x 6 = 42 ways .
BUT ... every pair can be made in two ways ... A vs B or B vs A .
So 42 'ways' make only (42/2) = 21 different pairs.
If every pair plays 2 matches, then (21 x 2) = <em><u>42 total matches</u></em> will be played.
Now, is that an elegant solution or what !
Answer:
the first one is -(25/2) OR -12.5
THE Second one is -(125/8) or -15.625
Answer:
Yes.
Base: 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have 4 to the power of x, we do indeed have an exponent. The -2 just signifies vertical movement down.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean theorem can be understood as a mathematical relationship between the sides of a right triangle that helps to understand geometric problems in real situations, such as finding measurements, calculating areas, etc.
The theorem says that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other sides.
In a right triangle the hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle, on the side opposite to its longest angle, and the other two sides will be the sides. So the Pythagorean theorem formula is:
a² = b² + c²
where a represents the hypotenuse and b and c the other sides.
Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals. example: line a has a slope of 2/3, line b has a slope if -3/2 if they are perpendicular.
