Erin has quarters and nickels for a total of 16 coins. The value of his coins is $2.60. Let represent the number of quarters and y represent the number of nickels​

Answers

Answer 1

Note: Consider we need to find each type of coins he has.

Given:

Erin has quarters and nickels for a total of 16 coins.

The value of his coins is $2.60.

To find:

The number of each type of coins.

Solution:

Let x represent the number of quarters and y represent the number of nickels.

According to the question,

Total coins : [tex]x+y=16[/tex]        ...(i)​

Total value : [tex]0.25x+0.05y=2.60[/tex]        ...(ii)​

Multiply equation (i) by 0.25 and subtract the result from (ii).

[tex]0.25x+0.05y-0.25(x+y)=2.60-0.25(16)[/tex]

[tex]0.25x+0.05y-0.25x-0.25y=2.60-4[/tex]

[tex]-0.20y=-1.40[/tex]

Divide both sides by -0.20.

[tex]y=7[/tex]

Put y=7 in (i).

[tex]x+7=16[/tex]

[tex]x=16-7[/tex]

[tex]x=9[/tex]

Therefore, the number of quarters is 9 and number of nickels is 7.

When asked about favorite Thanksgiving leftovers, 9% of the people said turkey and 7/100 said mashed potatoes. Which food is more popular? How do you know?

Answers

Answer:

Turkey is more popular.

Step-by-step explanation:

If in the survey about which is the favorite food on Thanksgiving, 9% answered turkey and 7/100 answered marshed potatoes, the most popular food among both is turkey.

This is so because in the case of marshed potatoes, the fact that 7 out of 100 choose this food implies that 7% of those surveyed designate it as their favorite, which is less than the 9% who choose turkey as such.

The table shows the outputs y, for different inputs ,x

Input x: 3,7,11,15
Output y: 4,6,8,10

Part A: Do the data in this table represent a function? Justify your answer.

Part B: Compare the data in the table with the relation f(x) = 5x-21. Which relation has a greater value when x=11

Part C: Using the relation in part b, what is the value of x if f(x) =99

Answers

Part A: Yes, the data represent a function. The definition of a function is a relation in which no value of x will have two different values of y.

(Every time you plug in 3 as x, you will always get 4 as y; it's ok if you plug in 3 and 5 as x and get the same y, you just can't get two different y's for one x; sorry, it is pretty confusing). None of the numbers in the table repeat, so we can safely say that the relation is a function.

Part B: All we have to do is plug in 11 for x in the function given to find the answer:

In the table, y = 8 when x = 11, but in the function given, y = 34 when x = 11, so the function given is greater.

Part C: To find the answer to C, just plug in 99 for f(x), as it tells you to do:

A rancher has 1000 feet of fencing in which to construct adjacent, equally sized rectangular pens. What dimensions should these pens have to maximize the enclosed area?

Answers

Answer:

The dimensions that will maximize the enclosed area of the pen is 250 ft by 250 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

we have the perimeter as 1000

So the sum of the lengths will be

1000/2 = 500

The dimensions that will maximize these pens will be such that they will have equal values

Mathematically, that will be 500/2 = 250 by 250

Answer:

  A) the curves are ellipses

  B) 161 yards

  C) 366 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The general shape of the side marked c has the appearance of two quarter-ellipses. The major axis is approximately 125 yards, and the minor axis is approximately 80 yards. Paul could assume that the curves are quarter-ellipses.

__

B) For an ellipse with this eccentricity, its perimeter is within 2% of that of a circle with a diameter equal to the average of these dimensions.*

So, the approximate length of side c is ...

  c ≈ π(80 +125)/4 ≈ 161 . . . . yards; length of side c

__

C) The perimeter of the pond is the sum of the side lengths, so will be ...

  80 yds + 125 yds + 161 yds = 366 yds . . . pond perimeter

_____

* Indian mathematician Ramanujan developed an approximate formula for the circumference of an ellipse, which would otherwise need to be computed using an elliptic integral. it is ...

  C = π(a+b)(1 + 3λ²/(10 +√(4 -3λ²))

where λ = (a -b)/(a +b) and a, b are the semi-axis lengths.

For this ellipse, λ = 9/41, so the last factor is about 1.01208313. Using this factor, the circumference is expected to be good to about 7 significant digits. Continuing the calculation, we find ...

  C ≈ 325.904 . . . . circumference of an ellipse 125 yd long by 80 yd wide

This is twice the length we imagine for c, so c ≈ 163 yards. As we said, the approximation used above is within 2% of this value.

The attachment shows the shape if the curve is actually an ellipse.

A quantity with an initial value of 920 decays exponentially at a rate of 85% every week. What is the value of the quantity after 21 days, to the nearest hundredth?

Answers

Answer:

≈3.11

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the quantity after 21 days, to the nearest hundredth, given the expoenential decay is 3.11.

What is the value of the quantity after 21 days?

When a quantity decays , it means that the value of the quantity declines with the passage of time.

The formula that can be used to determine the value of the quantity after a number of weeks is :

FV = P (1 - r)^n

Where:

FV = Future valueP =initial valueR =rate of decayN = number of weeks = 21/7 = 3 weeks

920 x (1 - 0.85)^3

920 x 0.15^3 = 3.11

hio

Step-by-step explanation:

hi

As early as 4,000 years ago, but the first recorded use of a zero-like symbol dates to sometime around the third century B.C. in ancient Babylon.

Given that, the ancient Babylonians were writing fractions in 1800 BCE.

What is the fraction?

In Mathematics, fractions are represented as a numerical value, which defines a part of a whole. A fraction can be a portion or section of any quantity out of a whole, where the whole can be any number, a specific value, or a thing.

In fact, at first, fractions weren't even thought of as numbers in their own right at all, just a way of comparing whole numbers with each other.

The word fraction actually comes from the Latin "fractio" which means to break. To understand how fractions have developed into the form we recognize, we'll have to step back even further in time to discover what the first number systems were like.

From as early as 1800 BC, the Egyptians were writing fractions. Their number system was a base 10 idea (a little bit like ours now) so they had separate symbols for 1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000 and 1000000.

Hence, as early as 4,000 years ago, but the first recorded use of a zero-like symbol dates to sometime around the third century B.C. in ancient Babylon.
