A coach writes the batting order of his starting 9 out of the team of 20 on a piece of paper. How many different ways could the list be written?

Total number of orders = 77,520

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of students on team = 20

Number of students on the starting line =9

Find:

Total number of orders

Computation:

Total number of orders = 20! / [20 - 7]!(7!)

Total number of orders = 20! / [13]!(7!)

Total number of orders = [20 x 19 x 18 x 17 x 16 x 15 x 14] / [7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1]

Total number of orders = 77,520

if the eqn of the parabola is f(x) = (x-4)(x+2), we need to mult. this out to find the coordinates of the vertex.

then f(x) = x^2 + 2x - 4x - 8, and f(x) = x^2 - 2x - 8.

one way in which you can find the vertex is to calculate x = -b / (2a).   here, that comes to

        )

x = = 1.   f(1) = 1^2 - 2(1) - 8 = - 9.   vertex is at (1, -9).

        2(1) 

find another point on the curve:   let x=0, for which y=-8.   then (0, -8) is on the curve.   plot the vertex and this point and draw a smooth parabola thru both.
