Answer:

Alice: 20 coins, Ben: 16 coins, and Carlos: 4 coins.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the dive results in 40 gold coins.

We know that:

Alice: $7,600 Ben: $5,900 Carlos: $1,400.

So they have $ 14900 in total.

Now we will divide that money by 40.

x=\frac{14900}{40}\\\\x=372.5

So 1 gold coin costs $ 372.5. Now we will calculate how much they can get for the money they have.

A=\frac{7600}{372.5}=20.4\\\\B=\frac{5900}{372.5}=15.8\\\\C=\frac{1400}{372.5}=3.75\\

We conclude that:

Alice: 20 coins, Ben: 16 coins, and Carlos: 4 coins.

Sean tossed a coin off a bridge into the stream below. The path of the coin can be represented by the equation h = -16t2 + 72t +
boyakko [2]

Answer:

  about 5.613 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the quadratic formula to find the value of t when h = 0, we have ...

  at² +bt +c = 0

  t = (-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a)

  t = (-72±√(72² -4(-16)(100)))/(2(-16))

  t = (-72±√11584)/-32 = (9±√181)/4

Only the positive value of t is of interest.

  The coin will hit the stream after (9+√181)/4 seconds ≈ 5.613 seconds.

Show that 5(3y-2)=15y-10 for at least 5 values of y
Vsevolod [243]
<span>Solving the equation for Y = 1. 5 * (3 * 1 - 2) = 15 * 1 - 10 5 * (3 - 2) = 15 -10 5 * 1 = 5 5 = 5 Solving the equation for Y = 2. 5 * (3 * 2 - 2) = 15 * 2 - 10 5 * (6 - 2) = 30 -10 5 * 4 = 20 20 = 20 Solving the equation for Y = 4. 5 * (3 * 4 - 2) = 15 * 4 - 10 5 * (12 - 2) = 60 -10 5 * 10 = 50 50 = 50 Solving the equation for Y = 8. 5 * (3 * 8 - 2) = 15 * 8 - 10 5 * (24 - 2) = 120 -10 5 * 22 = 110 110 = 110 Solving the equation for Y = 9. 5 * (3 * 9 - 2) = 15 * 9 - 10 5 * (27 - 2) = 135 -10 5 * 25 = 125 125 = 125 This proves that the equation holds good for at least 5 values of 'y', which are 1, 2, 4, 8 and 9. However, it can be proved that the equation holds good for any value of y. Expression 5(3y-2) can be simplified to 15y -10 which is the same expression on the right had side of the equation provided. So, equation 5(3y-2)=15y-10 is actually 15y-10=15y-10 and since this is true for all values of y, it has been proved that it is true for at least 5 values of y.</span>
