Answer:  The required system of equations representing the given situation is

y=1+0.5x\\\\y=3+0.25x

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Sam needs to make a long-distance call from a pay phone.

We are to write a system to represent the situation.

Let x represent the number of minutes Sam talked on the phone and y represents the total amount that he paid for the call.

According to the given information,

with prepaid phone card, Sam will be charged $1.00 to connect and $0.50 per minute.

So, the equation representing this situation is

y=1+0.5x~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

Also, if Sam places a collect call with the operator he will be charged $3.00 to connect and $0.25 per minute.

So, the equation representing this situation is

y=3+0.25x~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)

Thus, the required system of equations representing the given situation is

y=1+0.5x\\\\y=3+0.25x

Two cards are selected at random from a standard deck of cards. What is the probability that you select a king or a queen? (If y
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

2/13

Step-by-step explanation:

In a standard deck of cards, there are 52 cards total, 4 kings, and 4 queens.

Probability is calculated by (number of favorable outcomes)/(number of possible outcomes), so our probability would be 8/52, which can be simplified to 2/13.

Hope this helps!

F(x)= (x+2)^2 -1<br> Find x intercept <br> Find y intercept<br> Find vertex
Trava [24]
The x intercept occurs when y = 0.

0=(x+2)^2 - 1
1=(x+2)^2

Take the square root of both sides. Note that the sqrt of 1 is 1. Then solve for x.

1=x+2
-1=x

The x intercept is -1.

The y intercept occurs when x=0.

y=(0+2)^2 - 1
y=2^2 -1
y=4-1
y=3

The y intercept is 3.

Now, to find the vertex...

This parabola is currently in a format called the vertex form, which is:

f(x) = (x-h)^2 + k

where (h, k) is the vertex.

Therefore, the vertex is (-2, -1).
