Overdraft protection means the bank will loan you the money needed to cover the check that cannot be covered by funds in the account. True or false ASAP HELP PLEASE

Answers

yep i agree its true.


True. Overdraft protection is a service offered by banks to their customers. When your account does not have enough money to cover a transaction, overdraft protection allows the bank to loan you the necessary funds to complete the transaction.

If you make a purchase or withdrawal that exceeds your account balance, the bank will cover the shortfall by lending you the needed amount. This ensures the transaction goes through, but typically comes with fees or interest. While convenient, it can lead to extra costs if used frequently.

Overdraft protection may apply to debit card purchases, checks, or automatic bill payments, depending on the account settings. Some banks offer this service automatically, while others require customers to opt in. It's a useful safety net but should be used responsibly to avoid accumulating unnecessary charges.

Point A is located at (0, 4) and point B is located at (−2, −3). Find the x value for the point that is 1/4 the distance from point A to point B.

−1

−0.75

−0.25,

Answers

- First thing, find the distance between A and B:
 
AB =[tex] \sqrt{( x_{2} - x_{1})^{2} + ( y_{2} - y_{1})^{2} } [/tex] =
      =[tex] \sqrt{(0-(-2))^{2} + (4-(-3))^{2} } [/tex] =
      = [tex] \sqrt{4+49} [/tex] =
      = √53

- Hence, we know that the distance between point A and the point C to be found is: 
AC = √53 / 4

- The only other thing we know about point C is that it lays on the line that connects A and B. Let's use the point-slope formula to find the equation of this line:

y - y₂ = [tex] \frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1} }[/tex] (x - x₂)
y - (-3) = (7/2)(x - (-2))
y + 3 = (7/2)(x + 2)
y = (7/2)x + 7 - 3
y = (7/2)x + 4

This is the equation that ties the coordinates of every point laying on it, therefore it is vaid for A, B and, above all, C which will be:
C (x , (7/2)x + 4)

- Now let's find the distnce between A and C:
AC =[tex] \sqrt{( x_{2} - x_{1})^{2} + ( y_{2} - y_{1})^{2} } [/tex]=
      =[tex] \sqrt{(x-0)^{2} + ((7/2)x+4-4)^{2} } [/tex] =
      =[tex]\sqrt{x^{2} + (49/4)x^{2} }[/tex] =
      =[tex] \sqrt{(53/4) x^{2} } [/tex] =
      =+/-(√53/2)x 
- Lastly, we know this distance must be equal to √53 / 4, therefore you need to set and solve the equation:
+/-(√53/2)x = √53 / 4
(1/2)x = +/-(1/4)
x = +/-(1/2)

Since point C is towards point B, we have to take the negative answer: 
x = -(1/2)

- Therefore the correct answer is C: -0.5

Final answer:

The best estimate for the solution of the system of equations is (-4.5, 1.5).

Explanation:

The system of equations given is:

y = -34x - 2

y = x + 6

To find the best estimate for the solution, we can substitute the x-coordinate from each ordered pair into the second equation and solve for y.

Let's check each option:

For (-4.25, 1.5):

1.5 = -4.25 + 6

1.5 = 1.75 (not equal)

This is not a solution for the system.

For (-4.75, 1.75):

1.75 = -4.75 + 6

1.75 = 1.25 (not equal)

This is not a solution for the system.

For (-4.5, 1.5):

1.5 = -4.5 + 6

1.5 = 1.5 (equal)

This is a solution for the system.

For (-4.5, 1.75):

1.75 = -4.5 + 6

1.75 = 1.5 (not equal)

This is not a solution for the system.

Therefore, the best estimate for the solution of the system of equations is (-4.5, 1.5).

draw a number line from 0 to 2 write 3\8 1 and 3\4 and 1.25 on the number line,

Answers

To solve this exercise you must apply the proccedure shown below:
 1- You have the following numbers given in the problem above:
 3/81, 3/4 and 1.25
 2- Therefore, you have that 3/81 in decimal form, is: 
 3/81=0.03
 3- 3/4 in decimal form is:
 3/4=0.75
 3- Keeping this on mind,  you can draw the number line from 0 to 2 and write the numbers given above, as you can see in the figure attached.
The graph of the number line from 0 to 2 is shown in Figure 1. We start this graph by setting the number zero to the left of the number 2, that is, the numbers increases from left to right. Next, we have the following points to be marked in the number line:

 [tex]\frac{3}{8} \\ \\ 1 \\ \\ \frac{3}{4} \\ \\ 1.25[/tex]

But we can rewrite these numbers as decimals:

[tex]\frac{3}{8}=0.375 \\ \\ 1 \\ \\ \frac{3}{4}=0.75 \\ \\ 1.25[/tex]

So Figure 2 shows each point marked on the number line. The way we choose is to set each point on the number line analyzing in which position it must lay. For instance, [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] is less than [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] but greater than zero. So its position is as indicated in Figure 2.

How do you decide which variable to isolate in order to use the substitution method to solve a system of linear equations?

Answers

Find a variable with no coefficient.If there is more than one variable with no coefficient,it dose not matter which one you isolate.Isolate the variable and then use substitution to solve the system of equations.

The way to decide which variable to isolate in order to use the substitution method to solve a system of linear equations is;

to look for the variable with no coefficient or least coefficient and then isolate it and use substitution to solve the simultaneous equation.

       A system of linear equations can be solved by three major methods which are;

- Elimination method

- Substitution method

- Graph method

     Now, in this question we want to know how substitution method is done.

Let us say we have two simultaneous equations which are;

2x + 3y = 8   ----(eq 1)

x + 5y = 11     ----(eq 2)

      Now, in this method, we need to first isolate a variable in one of the equations by making it the subject of formula there. Usually, we go with the variable that has no coefficient first.

In this case, it is x that has no coefficient in eq 2 and as such, we will isolate it to get;

x = 11 - 5y

    In conclusion, the way we decide which variable to isolate in substitution method of simultaneous equations is to look for the variable with no coefficient or least coefficient.

Two cards are drawn without replacement from a standard deck of 52 cards. What is the probability that both cards are spades? Are these events independent?


A. 1/17: no, they are dependent events

B. 1/16: yes, they are independent events

C. 25/52: yes, they are independent events

D. 3/52: no, they are dependent events

Answers

Answer: 
Choice A
1/17; no, they are dependent events

============================================

Explanation:

There are 13 spades and 52 cards total. So 13/52 = 1/4 is the probability of drawing one spade

If we do not replace the card we pull out, then the probability of another spade is 12/51 since there are 12 spades left out of 51 total. 

Multiply the fractions 1/4 and 12/51 to get
(1/4)*(12/51) = (1*12)/(4*51) = 12/204 = 1/17

The two events are not independent because the second event (pulling out a second spade) depends entirely on what happens in the first event (pulling out a first spade). The fact that the probability is altered indicates we have dependent events.

Use the distributive property:
120 = 20x - 40

Add 40 to both sides:
120+40 = 20x - 40 + 40

B.)Find the cube of 3 square root 6x .
C.)Cube both sides of the equation.
D.) Subtract 5 from both sides.

Answers

Final answer:

The best initial step in solving the equation 3 + 3√(6x) = 5 is to subtract 3 from both sides, simplifying the equation to 3√(6x) = 2, which lays a clear path towards isolating and solving for x.So,option A.)Subtract 3 from both sides. is correct.

Explanation:

The best first step in solving the equation 3 + 3√(6x) = 5 is to simplify the equation by isolating the square root term. This can be done by following option A: Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation. This action makes the equation easier to manage step-by-step as you move toward isolating x, which is the ultimate goal of solving for x. The resulting equation after subtracting 3 from both sides is 3√(6x) = 2. This simplified equation can then be further manipulated to solve for x, primarily by squaring both sides to eliminate the square root, and then solving the resulting simple algebraic equation.
