The number of unique ways is given by the number of possible

combination having distinct members.

The number of unique ways there are to arrange 4 of the 6 swimmers are 15 ways.

Reasons:

The given parameters are;

The number of swimmers available = 6 swimmers

The number of swimmers the coach must select = 4 swimmers

Required:

The number of unique ways to arrange 4 of the 6 swimmers.

Solution:

The number of possible combination of swimmers is given as follows;

$_4C_6 = \dfrac{6!}{4! \times (6 - 4)!} = 15$

Therefore, the coach can select 4 of the 6 available swimmers in 15 unique ways

A quadratic function that has the vertex (-2, -4) and passes through the point (-1, -6)

spayn [35]

Answer:

f(x) = -2 (x + 2)² - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = a (x - h)² + k (h , k) is vertex h = -2 k = -4

pass point (-1 , -6) f(x) = -6 and x = -1

-6 = a (-1 - (-2))² + (-4)

-6 = a - 4

a = -2

quadratic function: f(x) = -2 (x + 2)² - 4

To convert a quadratic from y = ax2 + bx + c form to vertex form, y = a(x - h)2+ k, you use the process of completing the square

ladessa [460]

Since we will be completing the square we need to isolate the x

y-5 = 2x^2 -4x

now we the coefficient of the x^2 to equal 1 so we take 2 as common factor

y-5 = 2(x^2 -2x)

now we'll make it perfect square by adding 2 to both sides

y-5+2=2(x^2-2x+1)

now simplify and convert the right side to squared expression

y-3 = 2(x-1)^2

now isolate the y

y = 2(x-1)^2 +3 that's it
