If there are x teams in a sports​ league, and all the teams play each other​ twice, a total of​ n(x) games are​ played, where ​n(x)equals

Answers

Answer 1
1.
Consider a group of n objects. Assume we want to form groups of r, from these n objects.

There are in total [tex]C(n, r)= \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!} [/tex] many ways of doing so.

where, r! is "r factorial", calculated as 1*2*3*...*(r-1)*r

2.

C(x, 2) is the total number of pairs out of x objects, that we can form.

so let the x objects represent the x teams, and 2, represent a group of 2, which means a game.

The total number of games is:

n(x)=2*C(x, 2) = [tex]2* \frac{x!}{2!(x-2)!}= \frac{x!}{(x-2)!}= \frac{x(x-1)(x-2)!}{(x-2)!}=x(x-1)= x^{2} -x [/tex]

Remark, we multiplied by 2, since there will be 2 matches for each pair of teams.


Answer: [tex] x^{2} -x[/tex]

Answer:

The vertex J' is at (-8,1).

Step-by-step explanation:

If is given that the triangle JKL reflected once to map onto triangle J'K'L'.

The vertices of the triangle JKL are J(8,1), K(5,7) and L(3,4). The vertex L'(-3,4).

[tex]L(3,4)\rightarrow L'(-3,4)[/tex]

It is in the form of

Given a geometric sequence in the table below, create the explicit formula and list any restrictions to the domain.


n an
1 | 3
2 | −6
3 | 12

Answers

The explicit formula for this geometric sequence is: a_n = 3 (-2)^{n-1}. he common ratio is negative, so the domain is all odd positive integers.

Explicit formula:

The explicit formula for a geometric sequence is of the form: a_n = a_1 r^{n-1}

In this case, the first term is 3 and the common ratio is −2. Therefore, the explicit formula for this geometric sequence is:

a_n = 3 (-2)^{n-1}

Restrictions to the domain:

The domain of a geometric sequence is all positive integers, unless the common ratio is negative. In this case, the common ratio is negative, so the domain is all odd positive integers.

Example:

Using the explicit formula, we can find the fourth term of the sequence as follows:

a_4 = 3 (-2)^{4-1} = 3 (-2)^3 = -24

We can also verify that the domain of the sequence is all odd positive integers by checking the first few terms:

n | a_n

1 | 3

2 | -6

3 | 12

4 | -24

5 | 48

Hello there!

S = 5r^2 * T
To solve for T, we need to isolate it - or get it on one side of the equation by itself.

Answers

This is a very long question. I'm not going to write all of it out but I will give you a starting point. Find your x by making y in the formula equal to 0.

2x + 3y = 1470

2x + 3(0) = 1470

2x = 1470

x = 735

Your furthest point on the x axis is (735,0).

Do the same for y.

2x + 3y = 1470.

2(0) + 3y = 1470

3y= 1470

y= 490

Your highest point is (0,490).

Now that both are plotted, draw a straight line connecting the two points. There's your graph.

A paper popcorn cone measures 4 inches in diameter and is 9 inches high. What is the volume of popcorn that can be contained within this cone? Use 3.14 for pi. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. 37.68 cubic inches 39.45 cubic inches 40.23 cubic inches 41.90 cubic inches

Answers

The formula for finding volume of a cone is (in this case),
V=(3.14)(r^2)(h/3)

With this formula in mind, you would simply substitute in.
V=(3.14)(2^2)(9/3)

You could work that out for yourself on your own, but to save you the time, it is 37.68 in. cubed.

Hey!

So, we know that the formula to find the volume of a cone is [tex]V=\frac{3.14* r^2h}{3}[/tex]
The radius is half the diameter, so in this case our radius would be 2. Let's plug in the values.
[tex]V=\frac{3.14* 2^2\cdot \:9}{3}[/tex]
Simplify.
[tex]V=12*3.14 [/tex]
The thing we are left with is just a multiplication problem. Let's simplify it. Let's remember to also input the units since we are talking about the volume of a figure.
V≈37.68 in³

Instead of using the equal sign (=), we had to use the approximation sign (≈) since we are using a rounded version of pi ([tex] \pi [/tex])

where An is the nth term, A₀ is the first term (in this item is referred to as t₀), r is the common ratio, and n is the number of terms. 

Substitute the known values to the equation,

Answers

36/4=9 48/3=16 so 9*16=144/2=72 so it is 72 square inches
Answer:

Hence, the area of shaded region is:

72 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the area of the shaded region i.e. we have to find the area of a triangle.

Clearly the shaded triangle is in the shape of a right triangle.

we will firstly find the dimension of the triangle in order to find it's area.

Clearly the base(b) of a triangle is 36/4= 9 inches.

( since the side of the rectangle of length 36 inches is divided into 4 equal parts)

similarly the height(h) of the right triangle is:

48/3=16 inches.

( since the side of rectangle of measure 48 inches is divided into 3 equal parts)

Hence, the area of triangle is calculated as:

[tex]Area=\dfrac{1}{2}\times b\times h\\\\\\Area=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9\times 16\\\\Area=72\text{square\ inches}[/tex]

Hence, the area of shaded region is:

72 square inches.

Verify the Pythagorean Identity.

1 + cot^2 0 = csc^2 6

Answers

To prove this Pythagorean Identity, we have to know that:

cot = 1 / tan

and we also know that:

tan = sin / cos

Therefore,

cot = 1 / tan = cos / sin

So we can write the given equation in the form of:

1 + (cos^2 θ / sin^2 θ) = csc^2 θ

Expanding the left hand side of the equation:

(sin^2 θ / sin^2 θ) + (cos^2 θ / sin^2 θ) = csc^2 θ

(sin^2 θ + cos^2 θ) / sin^2 θ = csc^2 θ

We know that given a unit circle, sin^2 θ + cos^2 θ = 1. So:

1 / sin^2 θ = csc^2 θ

The equation above is already true basing on the trigonometric identities. Therefore:

csc^2 θ = csc^2 θ

Ben measures the height of two bottles. one is 12 centimeters, and the other is 15 centimeters. in millimeters, what is the difference of the two heights?

Answers

One bottle has a height of 12 centimeters or 12 cm. Let us call this h1, so h1 = 12 cm

While the other bottle has a height of 15 centimeters or 15 cm. Let us call this h2, so h2 = 15 cm

 

The difference in height can be calculated by subtracting the smaller number from the bigger number, therefore:

difference in height = h2 – h1

difference in height = 15 cm – 12 cm

difference in height = 3 cm

 

We know that in 1 meter there is:

1 meter = 100 centimeters = 1000 millimeters

Therefore,

difference in height = 3 cm (1000 millimeters / 100 centimeters)

difference in height = 30 mm

Answer:
