B. I'm terrible at explaining but I'm sure that's right.
There would be 12 people at the party!
In general, with n+1 people, the number of handshakes is the sum of the first n consecutive numbers: 1+2+3+ ... + n.
Since this sum is n(n+1)/2, we need to solve the equation n(n+1)/2 = 66.
This is the quadratic equation n2+ n -132 = 0. Solving for n, we obtain 11 as the answer and deduce that there were 12 people at the party.
Since 66 is a relatively small number, you can also solve this problem with a hand calculator. Add 1 + 2 = + 3 = +... etc. until the total is 66. The last number that you entered (11) is n.
Hope this helps!
Hi there
the dividend per share of stock
15,000÷10,000
=1.5 per share
if you owned 50 shares
1.5×50
=75
Hope it helps
Sqrt -13 = sqrt13 i
sqrt -26 = sqrt2 * sqrt13i
sqrt-13 * sqrt -26 = sqrt2 * 13* i^2 = -13 sqrt2 (because i^2 = -1)
answer is -13 sqrt2
X= -10 I hoped this helped you answer your question!
