A quadratic function is a function of the form 
. The vertex, 
of a quadratic function is determined by the formula: 
and 
; where 
is the x-coordinate of the vertex and 
is the y-coordinate of the vertex. The value of 
determines if the <span>parabola opens upward or downward; if</span> is positive, the parabola<span> opens upward and the vertex is the minimum value, but if </span> is negative <span>the graph opens downward and the vertex is the maximum value. Since the quadratic function only has one vertex, it </span><span>could not contain both a minimum vertex and a maximum vertex at the same time.</span>
Answer:
6 Nickels
42 Dimes
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 48 coins in total (nickels and dimes). Let the number of nickels be "n" and the number of dimes be "d". So we can write:
n + d = 48
or
n = 48 - d
In dollars, we know nickels are worth 0.05 and dimes are worth 0.10. In total there is $4.50, so we can write:
0.05n + 0.10d = 4.50
Now replacing first equation [n = 48 - d] into 2nd, we get and equation in "d" and solve for d first:
So, there are 42 dimes.
We know from before, n = 48 - d, so
n = 48 - 42 = 6
There are 6 nickels
