Answer: 6630

Step-by-step explanation:

Given , Number of documentaries = 17

Number of children's movies = 20

Total movies = 17+20=37

Number of combinations of r things taken out of things = ^nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

Now, the number of different combinations of 3 movies can she rent if she wants at least one documentary

= (1 documentary+2 children's movies  , 2 documentary+1 children's movies , 3 documentary+0 children's movies)

=^{17}C_1\times^{20}C_{2}+^{17}C_2\times^{20}C_{1}+^{17}C_3\times^{20}C_{0}

=(17)\times\dfrac{20!}{2!18!}+\dfrac{17!}{2!15!}\times(20)+\dfrac{17!}{3!14!}(1)\\\\=3230+2720+680=6630

Hence, the  number of different combinations of 3 movies can she rent if she wants at least one documentary is 6630 .

Which of the following equations represents a line that passes through the points​
Xelga [282]

Answer:

C) I only

Step-by-step explanation:

( -1, -2) and (0,4)

Slope:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(4+2)/(0+1)

m=6/1

m=6

Slope-intercept:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y + 2 = 6(x + 1)

y + 2 = 6x + 6

y = 6x + 4

y - 16 = 6(x - 2)

y - 16 = 6x - 12

y = 6x + 4

Consider function f.
tekilochka [14]

Given:

The function is:

f(x)=\sqrt{7x-21}

To find:

The steps of finding the inverse function f^{-1}(x).

Solution:

We have,

f(x)=\sqrt{7x-21}

The steps of finding the inverse function are:

Step 1: Substitute f(x)=y.

y=\sqrt{7x-21}

Step 2: Interchange x and y.

x=\sqrt{7y-21}

Step 3: Taking square on both sides, we get

x^2=7y-21

Step 4: Adding 21 on both sides, we get

x^2+21=7y

Step 5: Divide both sides by 7.

\dfrac{1}{7}x^2+3=y

Step 6: Substitute y=f^{-1}(x).

\dfrac{1}{7}x^2+3=f^{-1}(x), where x\geq 0.

Therefore, the inverse of the given function is f^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{1}{7}x^2+3 and the arrangement of steps is shown above.
