The pile contains 17 quarters and 15 half-dollars.

Let <em>x</em> = the number of quarters and <em>y</em> = the number of half-dollars.

We have two equations:

(1) $0.25<em>x</em> + $0.50<em>y</em>  = $11.75

(2) <em>x</em> = <em>y</em> +2

Substitute the value of <em>x</em> from Equation (2) into Equation (1).

0.25(<em>y</em>+2) + 0.50<em>y</em> = 11.75

0.25<em>y</em> + 0.50 + 0.50<em>y</em> = 11.75

0.75<em>y</em> = 11.75 – 0.50 = 11.25

<em>y</em> = 11.25/0.75 = 15

Substitute the value of <em>y</em> in Equation (2).

<em>x</em> = 15 + 2 = 17

The pile contains 17 quarters and 15 half-dollars.

<em>Check</em>: 17×$0.25 + 15×$0.50 = $4.25 + $7.50 = $11.75.

Jasmine bought a pennant (triangle) of the favorite baseball team. If the base is 16 inches and height is 24 inches, how much ar
KATRIN_1 [288]
D. 192in^2

This would be a simple area problem with a triangle. REMEMBER THIS EQUATION: a=bh*1/2 (b for base and h for height, these are multiplied together then that answer is halved out.)

So we just need to plug in our values into the equation, so the equation would look like a= (16)*(24)*1/2. 16 times 24 would then give you 384, you could either divide by 2 or multiply by 0.5 to get the next answer, as long as your HALVING the answer.

So we have our bh value so now we can multiply by 1/2 which will give us 384*1/2 which leaves us with 192.

I have also attached a photo of doing a longer(ish) way than this, that also proves that this equation works. Either one will provide you an answer.

3cis(5pi/4) in polar form
madreJ [45]
Rectangular form:
z = -2.1213203-2.1213203i

Angle notation (phasor):
z = 3 ∠ -135°

Polar form:
z = 3 × (cos (-135°) + i sin (-135°))

Exponential form:
z = 3 × ei (-0.75) = 3 × ei (-3π/4)

Polar coordinates:
r = |z| = 3 ... magnitude (modulus, absolute value)
θ = arg z = -2.3561945 rad = -135° = -0.75π = -3π/4 rad ... angle (argument or phase)

Cartesian coordinates:
Cartesian form of imaginary number: z = -2.1213203-2.1213203i
Real part: x = Re z = -2.121
Imaginary part: y = Im z = -2.12132034

The graph of g(x) is obtained by reflecting the graph of f(x)=2|x| over the x-axis.
Lera25 [3.4K]
Answer: Choice C) 
g(x) = -|2x|

You get this answer by simply sticking a negative out front of the original function. In other words, g(x) = -f(x) or more technically, g(x) = -1*f(x).

The negative will flip every y coordinate from positive to negative (or vice versa)

You'll also use the idea that |2x| = 2|x|. The two can be pulled out since we can say |x*y| = |x|*|y|
So |2*x| = |2|*|x| = 2|x|
