4) 12 In general, with n 1 people, the number of handshakes is the sum of the first n consecutive numbers: 1 2 3 ... n. Since this sum is n(n 1)/2, we need to solve the equation n(n 1)/2 = 66. This is the quadratic equation n2 n -132 = 0. Solving for n, we obtain 11 as the answer and deduce that there were 12 people at the party. Since 66 is a relatively small number, you can also solve this problem with a hand calculator. Add 1 2 = 3 = ... etc. until the total is 66. The last number that you entered (11) is n.
