A person has 17 coins, all nickels and dimes, worth $1.25. How many nickels are there?

1 answer:

3 0

This is a problem of guess and check; there's no easier way to do it.But in this case you must have an odd number of nickels to make the 5 cents, so your answer is 9 nickels.you can check this by multiplying each one by .05: 9*.05=.45 the rest of the coins left, are 8 of them, and their dimes. .10*8=.80 .80+.45= 1.25

Find the rate of change of the area of a square with respect

Romashka [77]

Let the side length of the square be x, then A = x^2
but diagonal (z) = sqrt(2x^2)
z^2 = 2x^2
x^2 = 1/2 z^2

Thus, A = 1/2 z^2
dA/dz = 1/2 (2z) = z
The rate of change is z.

When z = 4, the rate is 4.

A water truck is filling a swimming pool. The equation that represents this relation is y=18.25x where y is the number of gallon

QveST [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete, however, one of the requirements of this question while I searched, was to make a table and sketch the equation.

If this is the case, then, all you need to do is take the equation, Assume some values for x, and compute the values of y. Then, you can do the graph.

I begin with value from 0 to 10.

This is the example of calculations:

x = 0

y = 18.25*0 = 0

for x = 0, we get y = 0. For x = 2:

y = 18.25 * 2 = 36.5

If we keep doing this, we should get a straight line. See the graph and attached table. If the question is asking another thing, then please get back to me to answer it.
