If the total value of the coins is $15. The number of each type of coin is: 31 quarters, 72 dimes.

<h3>Number of each type of coin</h3>

Let D = number of dimes

Let Q = the number of quarters

Equations

d + q = 103

0.10d + 0.25q = 15  

d = 103 -q

0.10(103 -q) + 0.25q = 15

10.3 - 0.10q + 0.25q = 15

0.15q = 4.7

q=4.7/0.15

q=31 quarters

Substitute q into second equation

D+31=103

D=72 dimes

Therefore the number of each type of coin is: 31 quarters, 72 dimes.

What are the possible rational zeros of f(x)=x^4+2x^3-3x^2-4x+20?
Mice21 [21]
Roots test tells us to take the factors of the 20 divided by the factors of the coefficient of the the first.  

factors of 20 are 1,2,4,5,10,20
factors of 1 are 1

so plus or minus 1/1, 2/1, 4/1, 5/1, 10/1, 20/1 are all possible rational zeros

Consider randomly selecting a student at a large university, and let A be the event that the selected student has a Visa card an
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

1) is not possible

2) P(A∪B) = 0.7

3) 1- P(A∪B) =0.3

4) a) C=A∩B' and P(C)= 0.3

b)  P(D)= 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

1) since the intersection of 2 events cannot be bigger than the smaller event then is not possible that P(A∩B)=0.5 since P(B)=0.4  . Thus the maximum possible value of P(A∩B) is 0.4

2) denoting A= getting Visa card , B= getting MasterCard the probability of getting one of the types of cards is given by

P(A∪B)= P(A)+P(B) - P(A∩B) = 0.6+0.4-0.3 = 0.7

P(A∪B) = 0.7

3) the probability that a student has neither type of card is 1- P(A∪B) = 1-0.7 = 0.3

4) the event C that the selected student has a visa card but not a MasterCard is given by  C=A∩B'  , where B' is the complement of B. Then

P(C)= P(A∩B') = P(A) - P(A∩B) = 0.6 - 0.3 = 0.3

the probability for the event D=a student has exactly one of the cards is

P(D)= P(A∩B') + P(A'∩B) = P(A∪B) - P(A∩B) = 0.7 - 0.3 = 0.4

aivan3 [116]
We have to answer what does the 15 represent in the function : f ( x ) = 15 * 2^x, which models the increasing of the frog population at a lake. We know that the frog population doubles every 3 weeks and that: f ( 6 ) = 960. It means that: 15 * 2^ 6 = 15 * 64 = 960. And also f ( 0 ) = 15 * 2^0 = 15 * 1 = 15. Therefore it is a starting population. Answer: The 15 represents <span>B - The starting population.</span>
