3 0

If there are 12 coins under the couch and every coin is either a nickel or a penny and together they are forming 32 cents then the equations which represent the problem will be x+y=12, 0.01x+0.05y=0.32. The correct option is B which is x+y=12, 0.01x+0.05y=0.32.

Given There are 12 coins and total money is 32 cents.

Let the number of pennies be x and the number of nickels be y.

According to question there are 12 coins so the first equation becomes:

x+y=12.

Then we have been told that together they amount to 32 cents.

We know that 1 penny is 1 cent coin and 1 nickel is 5 cent coin so the equation becomes :

1*x+5*x=32

x+5y=32

converting into dollar

0.01x+0.05y=0.32.

Hence the right equations showing the problem of nickel and pennies are x+y=12, 0.01x+0.05y=0.32.

Plot the following points to create a rectangle.

Tanya [424]

Answer:

(5, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The three coordinates of a triangle are given as:

(5,3), (-5,3), (-5,-1).

To find:

The missing vertex = ?

Solution:

Let us label the vertices:

A (5,3),

B(-5,3),

C(-5,-1).

Let the missing vertex be ( $x, y$ ).

Let us recall the properties of a rectangle.

The opposite sides of the rectangle are equal and parallel to each other.

Let us consider the side AB, we can see that only x coordinate is changed from A to B.

Let us consider the side BC, we can see that only y coordinate is changed from B to C.

A and B are adjacent vertices.

Similarly the opposite vertices will be C and D.

Same pattern will be followed in CD as that of AB.

x coordinate will be changed by same difference as that of AB.

Change in x coordinate from D to C = $-5-x$

Change in x coordinate from A to B = $-5-5 =-10$

Equating them:

$-5-x=-10\\\Rightarrow x = 5$

Same pattern is followed in BC and AD.

Their change in y coordinate will be same.

$-1-3=y-3\\\Rightarrow y =-1$

Missing vertex is (5, -1).

Please refer to the attached image for the rectangle.

Mattie uses the discriminant to determine the number of zeros the quadratic equation 0 = 3x2 – 7x + 4 has. Which bestdescribes t

Katyanochek1 [597]

Discriminant Formula: b² - 4ac, with a = x^2 coefficient, b = x coefficient, and c = constant

So firstly, using our equation plug in the values into the discriminant formula and solve as such:

(-7)² - 4 × 3 × 4

49 - 48

So our discriminant is 1. Since 1 is positive and a perfect square, this means that there are 2 real, rational solutions.
