The first equation has no solution
The picture shows all the work I did, the reason I took a pic is because it is a little hard to explain by text, but I hope this helped you!
Answer:
2,075,673,600 batting orders may occur.
Step-by-step explanation:
The order of the first eight batters in the batting order is important. For example, if we exchange Jonathan Schoop with Adam Jones in the lineup, that is a different lineup. So we use the permutations formula to solve this problem.
Permutations formula:
The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

First 8 batters
8 players from a set of 16. So

Last batter:
Any of the four pitchers.
How many different batting orders may occur?
4*518918400 = 2,075,673,600
2,075,673,600 batting orders may occur.
Answer:
vertex = (0, -4)
equation of the parabola: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- y-intercept of parabola: -4
- parabola passes through points: (-2, 8) and (1, -1)
Vertex form of a parabola: 
(where (h, k) is the vertex and
is some constant)
Substitute point (0, -4) into the equation:

Substitute point (-2, 8) and
into the equation:

Substitute point (1, -1) and
into the equation:

Equate to find h:

Substitute found value of h into one of the equations to find a:

Substitute found values of h and a to find k:

Therefore, the equation of the parabola in vertex form is:

So the vertex of the parabola is (0, -4)
