|\Omega|=C(16,2)=\dfrac{16!}{2!14!}=\dfrac{15\cdot16}{2}=120\\|A|=C(6,2)+C(10,2)=\dfrac{6!}{2!4!}+\dfrac{10!}{2!8!}=\dfrac{5\cdot6}{2}+\dfrac{9\cdot10}{2}=15+45=60\\\\P(A)=\dfrac{60}{120}=\dfrac{1}{2}=50\%

Explain the effect f (x)+k has on the graph if the exponential function f (x) Be specific and use complete sentences for full cr
Masteriza [31]
The +k part of the function takes the original function and translates it straight up k units. It's as simple as that.  If your function is the line f(x) = 3x, then the function f(x) = 3x + 4 moves that first function up 4 units.

Katena32 [7]

Bank balance after 15 years is $950

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Find the simple interest on the principal amount using the formula SI = PRT/100 where Principal (P) = $500, Rate of Interest (R) = 6% and Time(T) = 15 years

⇒ SI = 500 × 6 × 15/100 = $450

  • Step 2: Find total amount using the formula Amount = P + SI

⇒ Amount = 500 + 450 = $950
