12+4x^2+3x^3-2x is the answer.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
i.e. 10 people
Required
Probability of being next to each other
First, we calculate the total possible arrangements (without any restriction)
If the three are to be next to each other,
First, we arrange the three
Now, the 3 will be seen as 1; so, we have a total of 8 people i.e. (1 + 7 others)
The arrangement is:
So, the total arrangement, when they have to be next to one another is:
The probability is:
Expand
Express as percentage
No, you can't. If the denominator is greater than the numerator, that fraction's absolute value is always less than 1. If the numerator is greater than the denominator, that fraction's absolute value is always more than 1. Therefore, for both of them to be equal to each other, you are saying that a fraction that is less than 1 is equal to the fraction more than one. However, you can have a fraction with a larger denominator actually be of greater value than the one with the larger numerator. For example, -(9/8) vs -(8/9). -(9/8) has a greater numerator, yet -(8/9) is greater than it, despite having a larger denominator. Of course, this case can be written off as having the negative factored in with either the numerator with denominator, so it is easier to remember the rule above without the negative mumbo jumbo.
