Nell has a piggy bank full of dimes and nickels. She empties the bank and counts the coins. She counts 30
coins in all, with a total value of $2.90. Nell says she has 14 dimes and 16 nickels.
(a) Write a system of linear equations to represent the number of coins that Nell had in her piggy bank
and the total value of the coins.
(b) Determine whether Nell could have counted the number of dimes and nickels correctly. Show all your
work to prove whether she counted the coins correctly.

Nell Has A Piggy Bank Full Of Dimes And Nickels. She Empties The Bank And Counts The Coins. She Counts

Answers

Answer 1

[a] A dime is worth 10 cents (0.10 dollars) and a nickel is worth 5 cents (0.05 dollars). If there are 30 coins in all, we can set up a linear equation in standard form to look like this:

    30 - n = d

Since the total is 2.9, we can do the following:

    { 30 - n = d

    { .05n + .10d = 2.90

And our system is in bold

(where n is nickels and d is dimes, you could also use x and y if you wish)

[b] She could have counted the number of dimes and nickles correctly, but she did not. The number of nickles is 2 with there being 28 dimes.

Now, we will solve:

.05n + .10(30 - n) = 2.90

.05n + 3 - .1n = 2.9

3 - .05n = 2.9

3 = .05n + 2.90

.05n = 0.1

n = 2

(dimes is 30 - 2 = 28)

Have a nice day!

a. Why does the provided equation support the fact that there is a horizontal asymptote of F(x) that is not
on the x-axis?
(ax-3)(x-2)divide2(x+3)(x-2)
Y=-2 is a horizontal asymptote

Answers

Applying limits, it is found that since [tex]a \neq 0, \frac{a}{2} \neq 0[/tex], and hence the horizontal asymptote is not y = 0, thus not being on the x-axis.

The function is given by:

[tex]F(x) = \frac{(ax - 3)(x - 2)}{2(x + 3)(x - 2)}[/tex]

The horizontal asymptote is the limit of the function as x goes to infinity, hence:

[tex]y = \lim_{x \rigtharrow \infty} F(x) = \lim_{x \rigtharrow \infty} \frac{(ax - 3)(x - 2)}{2(x + 3)(x - 2)}[/tex]

Considering only the terms with the highest exponents:

[tex]y = \lim_{x \rigtharrow \infty} \frac{ax^2}{2x^2} = \frac{a}{2}[/tex]

Since [tex]a \neq 0, \frac{a}{2} \neq 0[/tex], and hence the horizontal asymptote is not y = 0, thus not being on the x-axis.

Which inequality is represented by the graph?

Answers

Answer:

y <  -3/2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Points (-2,4) and (2, -2) are on the graph.

The graph crosses the y-axis at 1 so the y-intercept is 1

Slope = (change in the y-value)/(change in the x-value.

Slope = (-2 - 4)/ [2 - (- 2)]

Slope = -6/4

Slope = -3/2  

The equation of the line : y = -3/2x + 1

Now the graph is dotted and it is shaded down.

Therefore the inequality is y <  -3/2x + 1

What is function?

A function is a relation between a dependent and independent variable. We can write the examples of function as -

y = f(x) = ax + b

y = f(x, y, z) = ax + by + cz

Given is the graph of a function shown in the image.

Range of a function is the set of {y} - values that exist for the values in the domain of the function. We can see from the graph that the values of {y} range from {y} = - 6 to {y} = 9 over the entire domain. See the black dots, that black dots mean that the both the numbers -6 and 9 are included in the range. So, in the set form, we can write the range of the function as -Range : [-6, 9].

Therefore, the range of the function plotted on the graph is [-6, 9].

Lia has 72 green grapes that are shared equally between 8 of her friends. Darrel adds 41 green grapes to his share. How many grapes does Darrel have in all

Answers

The answer would be 49 because 72 divided by 8 would be 9 and you add 41 you get 49

Darrel has 50 grapes in all.

Lia has 72 green grapes, and she shares them equally between 8 friends. To find out how many grapes each friend receives, divide the total number of grapes by the number of friends:

Number of grapes each friend receives = 72 / 8 = 9

Now, Darrel adds 41 green grapes to his share, so the total number of grapes he has is:

Total grapes for Darrel = Number of grapes Darrel received initially + Additional grapes added by Darrel

Total grapes for Darrel = 9 + 41 = 50
