Answer: nickels = 13, dimes = 7, quarters = 14

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

First, set up the equations for each coin:

\begin {array}{c|c|c|l}\underline{\quad Type\quad }&\underline{Value}&\underline{Quantity}&\underline{\qquad \qquad \qquad Equation\qquad }\\ Nickel& \$0.05&6+d&0.05(6+d) = 0.30 + 0.05d\\Dime& \$0.10&d&\qquad 0.10(d)=0.10d\\Quarter& \$0.25&2d&\qquad 0.25(2d)=0.50d\\\end{array}

Next, the sum of the coins is $4.85 so substitute and solve for the variable:

   Nickels         +   Dimes  +   Quarters = Sum

(0.30 + 0.05d)  +    0.10d   +     0.50d   =  4.85

0.30 + 0.65d = 4.85

            0.65d = 4.55

                    d = 7

Lastly, plug the d-value into the quantity equation for the nickels and quarters to find their quantity.

nickels: 6 + d   = 6 + (7)   = 13

quarters: 2d   = 2(7)   = 14

Find the area created by the overlapping circles given the following information.
lara31 [8.8K]

The area of a circular sector of central angle α (in radians) in a circle of radius r is given by

... A = (1/2)r²×(α - sin(α))


Your area is expected to be computed as the sum of the areas of a sector with angle π/3 in a circle of radius 8 and a sector with angle π/2 in a circle of radius 6.


... A = (1/2)8²×(π/3 - sin(π/3)) + (1/2)6²×(π/2 - sin(π/2))

... A ≈ 16.07


Radii are in inches so the units of area will be in². The appropriate choice is

... 16.10 in²


_____

It should be noted that the geometry described is impossible. Chord CD of circle A will have length 6√2 ≈ 8.4853 inches. Chord CD of circle B will have length 8 inches. They cannot both be the same chord.

Solve using elimination.<br><br> –9x + 9y = 18<br> –6x + 9y = –12
Arada [10]
You can multiply either the top or bottom equation by -1 so lets say you apply it to the bottom equation it’ll look like this:

-9x + 9y = 18
6x - 9y = 12

then the +9y and -9y will cancel out

-9x = 18
6x =12

then you add the two equations together

-3x = 30

divide both sides by -3

x = -10

What is the probability that a point chosen at random in the given figure will be inside the smaller square?
Aliun [14]
I have to interpret that:

1) the smaller square has side length = 3 cm

2) the bigger square has side length = 5 cm

3) the smaller square is completely inside the bigger square.

4) the points cannot be outside the bigger square



Under those assumptions the probability that a point is inside the smaller square  is

P (inside the smaller square) = area of the smaller square / area of the bigger square

P (inside the smaller squere) = (3cm)^2 / (5cm)^2 =  9 / 25


Answer: 9 / 25

1.The growth of a sample of bacteria can be modeled by the function b(t)=100(1.06)t where b is the number of bacteria and t is t
qwelly [4]

Given:

The growth of a sample of bacteria can be modeled by the function

b(t)=100(1.06)^t

where, b is the number of bacteria and t is time in hours.

To find:

The number of total bacteria after 3 hours.

Solution:

We have,

b(t)=100(1.06)^t

Here, b(t) number of total bacteria after t hours.

Substitute t=3 in the given function, to find the number of total bacteria after 3 hours.

b(t)=100(1.06)^3

b(t)=100(1.191016)

b(t)=119.1016&#10;

Therefore, the number of total bacteria after 3 hours is 119.1016.
