Eight people attend the theater "together and sit in a row with exactly eight seats. suppose the eight people consist of three married couples and each couple wants to sit together with the husband on the left. how many ways can the eight be seated together in the row"

They can be seated in 120 differents ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking into account that there are 3 couples and every couple has an specific way to sit, for simplify the exercise, every couple is going to act like 1 option and it's going to occupy 1 Place. If this happens we just need to organize 5 options (3 couples and 2 singles) in 5 Places (3 for a couple and 2 for the singles)

It means that now there are just 5 Places in the row and 5 options to organized. So the number of ways can be calculated using a rule of multiplication as:

     5         *        4          *       3           *          2      *         1         = 120

 1st place    2nd Place    3rd place        4th Place    5th Place

Because we have 5 options for the 1st Place, the three couples and the 2 singles. Then, 4 options for the second Place, 3 options for the third place, 2 for the fourth place and 1 option for the 5th place.

Finally, they can be seated in 120 differents ways.

  b.   the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).

step-by-step explanation:

since the length of the interval is the same in each case, we only need to compare the change in y-value to see which is greater.

so the change in y-value for function f is (6 )) = 9.

the table tells us

so the change in y-value for function g is (31 -1) = 30.

the change in y-value of f(x) on the interval is less than the change in y-value of g(x) on the same interval, so the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).
