====================================================
Explanation:
Player 1 has 16 people to kick the ball toPlayer 2 has 15 people to kick the ball to (since player 1 already is accounted for)Player 3 has 14 people to kick the ball toAnd so on.
We'll have this countdown: 16, 15, 14, ..., 3, 2, 1, 0. By the time we get to the 17th player, they won't have anyone to kick the ball to. This is because they've already been counted in the previous scenarios. This is to avoid double-counting.
So the problem simply boils down to us adding up the numbers 0,1,2,...14,15,16.
This is an arithmetic sequence with first term a = 0 and common difference d = 1. The sum of the first n = 17 terms is...
Sn = (n/2)*(a + d(n-1))
S17 = (17/2)*(0 + 1(17-1))
S17 = (17/2)*(16)
S17 = 17*8
S17 = 136 is the final answer
-----------------
An alternative method:
Consider we have two slots A and B
For slot A, we have 17 choices because we have 17 players.
Then for slot B, we have 17-1 = 16 choices since we don't want to reselect whoever goes in slot A.
If order mattered, then we'd have 17*16 = 272 different permutations.
However, order doesn't matter. A sequence like {player1,player4} is identical to {player4,player1}. All that matters is the overall group rather than the order of it. Both of those examples say the same thing: they connect player 1 to player 4.
In short, the value 272 is too large and it double-counts the true answer. We need to divide by 2 to correct for this.
272/2 = 136
We arrive at the same answer as before. There are 136 kicks required so that each player kicks the ball to every other player.
The minimum Number of kicks required in other to ensure that each player kicks the ball to every other atleast once is 136 kicks.
The Number of kicks could be related to the sum of the nth term of an arithmetic series
[tex]S_n = \frac{n}{2} (2a_1 + (n-1)d)[/tex]
n = number of terms = 17 players
First term,
[tex]a_1 = 0[/tex]
Common difference, d = 1
Inputting the Values into the equation :
[tex]S_n = \frac{17}{2} (2(0) + 16 \times 1)[/tex]
[tex]S_n = 8.5(0 + 16)[/tex]
[tex]S_n = 0 + 136[/tex]
[tex]S_n = 136[/tex]
Hence, the minimum number of kicks which would be taken by the players in other to ensure that each player kicks to ball to every other atleast once is 136 kicks.

Cindy multiple her age by 5, subtracted 12, and then divide by 3. The result was 16. How old is Cindy?
Let's give Cindy's age a variable.
Cindy's age = x
Cindy multiplies her age by 5
x(5)
Subtracted by 12
x(5) - 12
Divide by 3
(5x - 12)/3
The result was 16
(5x - 12)/3 = 16
Let's solve
Multiply both sides by 3
(5x - 12) = 48
Open brackets
5x - 12 = 48
Add 12 to both sides
5x = 60
Divide by 5 on both sides to isolate x
x = 12
Cindy is 12 years old.

Form a quadratic equation and find the length of AB
Step-by-step explanation:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(x+2)^2 + 4x^2 = (3x+4)^2
(x+2)(x+2)+ 4x^2= (3x+4)(3x+4)
x^2 + 2x + 2x + 4 + 4x^2 = 9x^2 + 12x + 12 x + 16
5x^2 + 4x + 4 = 9x^2 + 24x + 16
-4x^2 - 20x - 12 = 0
now we can use the quadratic formula
(-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a)
I can't type all this so
.....
x = -0.697224362 or -4.302775638
AB can't be negative so it's the first one
so it's equals to 1.302775638

The line (y-1)=(2/3)(x+1) contains point (a,-3).
What is the value of a? Show
your work.
Answer:
-7
Step-by-step explanation:
The line (y-1)=(2/3)(x+1) contains point (a,-3)
=> (-3-1) = (⅔)(a+1)
-4 = (⅔)(a+1(
(a+1)= -4 ÷ ⅔
a + 1 = -4 × 3/2
a+ 1 = -6
a = -6-1
a = -7
The value of 'a' will be;
⇒ a = - 7.
What is substitution method?To find the value of any one of the variables from one equation in terms of the other variable is called the substitution method.
Given that;
The equation of line is,
⇒ (y - 1) = (2/3) (x + 1)
And, The point on the line = (a, - 3)
Now,
Since, The point on the line = (a, - 3)
Hence, It satisfy the equation of line.
Substitute x = a and y = - 3, we get;
⇒ (y - 1) = (2/3) (x + 1)
⇒ (- 3 - 1) = (2/3) (a + 1)
⇒ - 4 × 3 = 2a + 2
⇒ - 12 - 2 = 2a
⇒ 2a = - 14
⇒ a = - 7
Thus, The value of a = - 7

Wayne plans to replace the ventilating fand in the oldest greenhouse and needs to know its volume. The greenhouse is shaped of a half of a cylinder, Its diameter is 40 feet, Its length is 120 feet, using 3.14 for pi, how many cubic feet does the greenhouse enclose?
Answer:
628.
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to calculate the radius of the cylinder :
40/2 = 20 feet
We then will calculate the volume of the whole cylinder:
[tex]V = \pi * r^{2} * h = 3.14 * 20^{2} * 120 = 1256[/tex] cubic feet.
However, Wayne greenhouse is just a half of a cylinder, so it's volume are:
[tex]1256 / 2 = 628[/tex] cubic feet.

Answer:
y=3
Step-by-step explanation:
6=2(y+2)-4
6=2y+4-4
6-4+4=2y
6=2y
3=y
The answer you are looking for is y=3.
Solution/Explanation:
First, writing out the problem,
6=2(y+2)-4.
Next, using the Distributive Property for 2(y+2), which is 2y+4,
6=2y+4-4.
Now, canceling out the 4, since 4-4=0,
6=2y+0, or 6=2y.
Finally, dividing both sides by 2,
6/2=2y/2.
6/2=3.
2y/2=y.
3=y, or y=3.
So, therefore, the final answer is y=3.
