10d+5n=560  and n=3d-8, using this n in the first equation gives you:

10d+5(3d-8)=560

10d+15d-40=560

25d-40=560

25d=600

d=24, and since n=3d-8

n=3(24)-8

n=72-8

n=64

So there are 24 dimes and 64 nickels in the piggy bank.

If f(x) = 3LX-2], what is f(5.9)? 9 10 11 12​
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that , the ceiling function y = [x] is also known as the least integer function that gives the smallest integer greater than or equal to x.

For example : For x= 1.5

y = [1.5] =2

For x= 3.64

y = ⌊3.64⌋=4

The given function :

Then, for x= 5.9 , we have

[since [3.9]=4 (least integer function)]

Therefore, the value of f(5.9) is 12

If an open box has a square base and a volume of 115 in.3 and is constructed from a tin sheet, find the dimensions of the box, a
Karolina [17]
Let h = height of the box,
x = side length of the base.

Volume of the box is  V=x^{2} h = 115. 
So h = \frac{115}{ x^{2} }

Surface area of a box is S = 2(Width • Length + Length • Height + Height • Width).
So surface area of the box is
S = 2( x^{2}  + hx + hx)  \\ = 2 x^{2}  + 4hx  \\  = 2 x^{2}  + 4( \frac{115}{ x^{2} } )x
= 2 x^{2} + \frac{460}{x}
The surface are is supposed to be the minimum. So we'll need to find the first derivative of the surface area function and set it to zero.

S' = 4x- \frac{460}{ x^{2} }  = 0
4x = \frac{460}{ x^{2} }  \\  4x^{3} = 460  \\ x^{3} = 115  \\ x =  \sqrt[3]{115} = 4.86
Then h=  \frac{115}{4.86^{2}} = 4.87
So the box is 4.86 in. wide and 4.87 in. high.

The height of a tennis ball tossed into the air is modeled by h(x) = 40x â€" 16x 2, where x is elapsed time in seconds. During w
egoroff_w [7]

The time interval x >0.5 and x > 2.04 will the tennis ball be at least 15 feet above the ground.

Given that,

The height of a tennis ball tossed into the air is modeled by,

\rm h(x) = 40x - 16x^2

Where x is elapsed time in seconds.

We have to determine,

During what time interval will the tennis ball be at least 15 feet above the ground?

According to the question,

The height of a tennis ball tossed into the air is modeled by,

\rm h(x) = 40x - 16x^2

Where x is elapsed time in seconds.

Then,

When the tennis ball be at least 15 feet above the ground,

h(x) = 15

Substitute the value of h(x) in the equation,

\rm h(x) = 40x - 16x^2\\\\ 15 = 40x - 16x^2\\\\ 16x^2-40x+15=0

Factorize the equation for finding the time interval will the tennis ball be at least 15 feet above the ground is,

\rm 16x^2-40x+15= 0\\\\x = \dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\x = \dfrac{-(-40)\pm \sqrt{(-40)^2-4 \times 16 \times 15}}{2 \times 16}\\\\x =  \dfrac{-(-40)\pm \sqrt{1600- 960}}{32}\\\\x =  \dfrac{40\pm \sqrt{640}}{32}\\\\x =  \dfrac{40 + 25.29}{32} \\\\x =  \dfrac{40 + 25.29}{32} \ and \ x =  \dfrac{40 - 25.29}{32}\\\\x = \dfrac{65.29}{32} \ and \ x = \dfrac{14.71}{32}\\\\x = 2.04 \ and \ x = 0.45

Hence, The time interval x >0.5 and x > 2.04 will the tennis ball be at least 15 feet above the ground.
