Answer:

8 movies and 6 video games

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Gift\ Card = \$600$

$Movies =\ $20$

$Video\ Game = \$50$

$Minimum\ Items = 13$

Required

Determine the items Lonnie can afford

To solve this question, we make use of trial by error method by taking the options one at a time:

Option 1: 6 movies and 4 video games

<em>This option can not be considered because the number of items is not up to the minimum Lonnte must purchase.</em>

<em />

Option 2: 14 movies and 7 video games

$Cost = 14 * \$20 + 7 * \$50$

$Cost = \$280 + \$350$

$Cost = \$630$

<em>This option can not be considered because the cost of purchase is greater than Lonnte's worth of Gift card.</em>

<em />

Option 3: 2 movies and 10 video games

<em>This option can not be considered because the number of items is not up to the minimum Lonnte must purchase.</em>

<em />

Option 4: 8 movies and 6 video games

$Cost = 8 * \$20 + 6 * \$50$

$Cost = \$160 + \$300$

$Cost = \$460$

Hence, the correct option is <em>8 movies and 6 video games </em>

Why must the base of an exponential function be positive?

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Because we only work with positive bases, bx is always positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

The values of f(x), therefore, are either always positive or always negative, depending on the sign of a. Smaller values of b lead to faster rates of decay.

A standard deck of cards contains 52 cards. One card is selected from the deck.(a)Compute the probability of randomly selecting

Aneli [31]

a. There are four 5s that can be drawn, and $\binom43=4$ ways of drawing any three of them. There are $\binom{52}3=22,100$ ways of drawing any three cards from the deck. So the probability of drawing three 5s is

$\dfrac{\binom43}{\binom{52}3}=\dfrac4{22,100}=\dfrac1{5525}\approx0.00018$

In case you're asked about the probability of drawing a 3 or a 5 (and NOT three 5s), then there are 8 possible cards (four each of 3 and 5) that interest you, with a probability of $\frac8{52}=\frac2{13}\approx0.15$ of getting drawn.

b. Similar to the second case considered in part (a), there are now 12 cards of interest with a probability $\frac{12}{52}=\frac3{13}\approx0.23$ of being drawn.

c. There are four 6s in the deck, and thirteen diamonds, one of which is a 6. That makes 4 + 13 - 1 = 16 cards of interest (subtract 1 because the 6 of diamonds is being double counted by the 4 and 13), hence a probability of $\frac{16}{52}=\frac4{13}\approx0.31$ .

Note: $\binom nk$ is the binomial coefficient,

$\dbinom nk=\dfrac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}={}_nC_k=C(n,k)=n\text{ choose }k$

Show and explain how replacing one equation by the sum of that equation and a multiple of the other produces a system with the s

My name is Ann [436]

First, let's multiply the first equation by two on the both sides:
<span>8x + 7y = 39 /2
</span>⇒ 16x + 14y = 78

Now, the system is:
<span>16x + 14y = 78
</span><span>4x – 14y = –68
</span>
After adding this up in the column:
(16x + 4x) + (14y - 14y) = 78 - 68
20x = 10
⇒ x = 10/20 = 1/2

y can be calculated by replacin the x:
<span>8x + 7y = 39
</span>⇒ 8 · 1/2 + 7y = 39
4 + 7y = 39
7y = 39 - 4
7y = 35
⇒ y = 35 ÷ 7 = 5

How is multiplying two<br> fractions similar to multiplying fractions and whole numbers?

Lunna [17]

Answer: They are similar in that when you multiply 2 fractions, you merely multiply the numerators together and the denominators together they are different in that a division still remains once the multiplication is completed.

What's the slope and y-intercept of the equation 3x + 4y = 8?

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Slope = -3/4

y-intercept = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$3x+4y = 8\\\therefore 4y = -3x +8\\\therefore y = \frac{-3}{4}x+ \frac{8}{4}\\\therefore y = \frac{-3}{4}x+2\\Equating \: it \: with\: \\y=mx+b\\Slope\:(m) = \frac{-3}{4}\\y-intercept\:(b) = 2$
