The correct answer is -15 because the absolute value is 15 but there is a negative outside the absolute value lines making it negative :)
The number of ways to arrange the 5 writings in a row is 5! = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 120 ways.
There is only 1 way to arrange the writings from oldest to newest.
Therefore, the probability is 1/120.
2 , 6 , 17 , 47 , <u>108</u> , ...
t(n) = 2n^3 - 8.5n^2 + 15.5n - 7
You need to add the two quadratics together...
x^2+11x-6+6x^2-3x+9
7x^2+8x+3
6 plus 6 is 12 then 12 plus 3 is 15 then 15 plus 3 and 3 is 21 then we do 21 plus 4.2 is 25.4 plus 3 is 28.4 hope this helps
