Assuming that there are 8 names that are going to be used for a random order; 

First, let's try to figure out how many possible ways the names can be arrange: 

=8 choices x 7 choice x 6 choices x 5 ... x 1 choice (if you select person A to go first, they cannot be second as well, so that is why 8 choices is multiplied by 7 instead of 8) 

This can also be written as 8! 

The specific way that a random set of names is chosen by you and actually chosen is 1. Each name has a specific order, in each term so there can only be one possible way. 

Therefore, P(order being chosen)=1/8! 

Hope I helped :)

-5/2 is equivalent to -2.5, and if you multiply 2.5 by 2 you get 5, and you have to have the negative, so add that to the 5 and you get -5. Hope this helps!

adult tickets at a football game cost $6 and student tickets cost $2. A total of $1776 was collected on 372 tickets. How many ad
postnew [5]

Answer:

258

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the two equations needed (x is the adult tickets and y is the student tickets)

x+y=372

6x+2y=1776

Solve by elimination

-2(x+y=372)

=-2x-2y=-744

Cancel like figures:

-2x-2y=-744

6x+2y=1776

= 4x=1032

x=258

Which function increases at a faster rate on 0 to infinity, f(x) = x2 or g(x) = 2x? Explain your reasoning.
pochemuha

Using a table of values, the outputs of f(x) for whole numbers are 0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, and so on. For the same input values, g(x) has outputs of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64. Continuing to double the output each time results in larger outputs than those of f(x). The exponential function, g(x), has a constant multiplicative rate of change and will increase at a faster rate than the quadratic function.

Answer:

x = 4 is the solution

Step-by-step explanation:

given  = x ( square both sides )

x + 12 = x² ( rearrange into standard form )

x² - x - 12 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 4 )(x + 3 ) = 0 ← in factored form

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3

Insert these values into the original equation, and if both sides are equal, and those are the solutions.

x = 4 :  =  = 4 = x ← correct

x = - 3 :  =  = 3 ≠ - 3 ← false

the answer is x = 4
