<h3>Given</h3>
  • 5 movies and 2 video games rent for $26
  • 3 movies and 8 video games rent for $53
<h3>Find</h3>
  • the rental cost of each
<h3>Solution</h3>

Let m and v represent the rental cost of a movie and a video game, respectively. The given information can be expressed in two equations:

... 5m +2v = 26

... 3m +8v = 53

Using Cramer's rule, we can find the solution to be

... m = (2·53 -8·26)/(2·3-8·5) = -102/-34 = 3

... v = (26·3-53·5)/-34 = 5.50

The rental cost for each movie is $3; for each video game is $5.50.

_____

The Vedic math variation of Cramer's Rule tells you the solution to

  • ax+by=c
  • dx+ey=f

is ...

  • x=(bf-ec)/(bd-ea)
  • y=(cd-fa)/(bd-ea)

The function V(t)=1,000(1.06)^t models the value of an investment after t years. What does the ".06" represent in the function?
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the function, we have;

V(t) = 1,000(1.06)^t

Mathematically, the amount earned on an investment that offers a particular constant percentage return to a particular number of years can be written as;

V = I(1 + r)^t

where V is the value of the investment after some certain number of years

I is the initial amount invested

r is the constant percentage increase

and t is the number of years.

Let’s now re-write what we can deduce in the question.

This is;

V(t) = 1000(1 + 0.06)^t

Thus what this 0.06 represents is r which is the constant interest rate
