Answer:
45
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's do it for smaller numbers first.
0 people -> 0 high fives
1 people -> 0 high fives
2 people -> 1 high fives
3 people -> person 1 high fives 2 then 3
And person 2 high fives 3
->2+1= 3 high fives
4 people -> person 1 high fives 2,3, then 4
And person 2 high fives 3 then 4
And 3 high fives 4
->3+2+1=6
5 people -> person 1 high fives 2,3,4, then 5
And person 2 high fives 3,4, 5
And 3 high fives 4,5
And 4 high fives 5
-> 4+3+2+1=10
So for n people there would be (n-1)+(n-2)+....+3+2+1 high fives or (n-1)n/2 people.
Test:
3 people -> (3-1)3/2=(2)3/2=3
4 people -> (4-1)4/2=(3)4/2=6
5 people -> (5-1)5/2=(4)5/2=10
10 people-> (10-1)10/2=(9)10/2=90/2=45
or you could do 9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1 which also gives 45.
The other person has a great answer. Here's another approach.
Let's say we're selecting 2 people to fill slots A and B.
Slot A has 10 choices and slot B has 9 choices (since we can't pick the same person again to fill both slots simultaneously).
We have 10*9 = 90 ways to do this if order mattered.
However, we don't care about the order so we actually have 90/2 = 45 ways
---------------------------
Put another way: we can form a table that has 10 rows and 10 columns.
This table has 10*10 = 100 cells inside it.
Cross off the main diagonal that runs from the upper left corner to the bottom right corner. Any of these cells represent a certain person handshaking with themself, which we don't consider.
We cross of 10 items along this diagonal so we have 100-10 = 90 cells leftover.
Now consider that person A shaking with B can be notated as AB. This is identical to BA because the order doesn't matter. So we have twice as many handshakes counted.
That's why we divide by 2 to go from 90 to 90/2 = 45
-----------------------------
Another way to find the answer is to use the nCr combination formula with n = 10 and r = 2.
Yet another way to find the answer is look at Pascal's triangle. Find the row that has 1,10,45... in it at the start. These values correspond to r = 0, 1 and 2 respectively. We can see that 45 is when r = 2, which means we have 2 people shaking hands and there are 45 ways to have ten people shake hands.
So there are many approaches you can take with this problem.

give the answer in cm^2
p.s the answer is not 66
Answer:
45 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
area of the figure
split the figure and form to figure rectangle and square
for rectangle
length = 6 cm + 3 cm
=9 cm
breadth = 4 cm
area of rectangle = l*b
=9 cm * 4 cm
=36 cm^2
for square
length =3 cm
area of square = (3 cm)^2
=9 cm^2
area of figure = area of rectangle + area of square
=36 cm^2 + 9 cm^2
=45 cm^2

A bank account has an initial deposit of $14,000. After 8 years, the bank account
has $18,000. Assuming that compounding interest is done annually and that no
withdrawals are taken, find the annual interest rate on the investment. If the interest is compounded annually what is the approximate interest rate on the investment?
Answer:
2.3%
Step-by-step explanation:
18000 = 15000( 1 + i)^8
Divide both sides by 15000
1.2 = (1 + i)^8
Take both sides to the 1/8 power
1.2^(1/8) = 1 + i
1.023051875220463 = 1 + i
Subtract 1 from both sides
i = 0.023051875220463
~ 2.3%

which of the folowing could be the equation for a parabola that opens to the left with vertex (-17, 2)
Answer:
x = a(y+17)^2 + 2 where a < 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the parabola is horizontal, the formula of the parabola is x = a(y-h)^2 + k where (h,k) is the vertex.
Since it opens to the left, a must be negative. The vertex is (-17, 2), so h = -17 and k = 2.
Substituting these in, we find that the equation is
x = a(y+17)^2 + 2 where a is a real number that is less than 0 (i.e. negative)

What is the smallest perimeter a rectangle of area 12 cm can have?
A.12 cm
B.14 cm
C.16 em

14 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The maximum area of a rectangle (actually square) with a perimeter of 14 can have is 12.25 cm². So the smallest perimeter a rectangle of 12 cm² i just a little below 14 cm, namely 4sqrt(12) = 13.86 cm.

Write an equation for the line that is parallel to the given line and that passes through the given point. y = 1/2x - 8; (-6, -17).
Answer:
y = 1/2x - 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have the same gradient
So,
gradient for second line = gradient of the first line = 1/2
Also,
the line passes through (-6,-17)
So, we can find the y-intercept by substitution
y = mx + c
-17 = (1/2 * -6) + c
-17 = -3 + c
c = -14
So,
the equation is y = 1/2x - 14

Find the equation of the line that passes through the points A (2, 3) and B (5, -7)
Answer:
10x+3y=29
Step-by-step explanation:
Given points:(x1,y1)=(2,3)
(x2,y2)=(5,-7)
We know, the equation of line passing through two points is given by,
y-y1={(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)}*(x-x1)
Hence,y-3={(-7-3)/(5-2)}*(x-2)
or,y-3=(-10/3)*(x-2)
or,3y-9= -10x+20
or,3y+10x=20+9
or,10x+3y=29 is the required equation.
