Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearranging this equation to slope-intercept form, we see the slope (x-coefficient) is 2:

2x = 7 + y . . . . . add y

y = 2x -7 . . . . . . subtract 7

The slope of the perpendicular line is the opposite of the reciprocal of this:

-1/2 = slope of perpendicular

Caroline has some dimes and some quarters. She has a maximum of 15 coins worth at least $2.85 combined. If Caroline has 3 dimes,

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

11, 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let q represent number of quarters.

We have been given that Caroline has a maximum of 15 coins worth at least $2.85 combined. We are also told that Caroline has 3 dimes. This means that total coins are less than or equal to 15.

We can represent this information in an inequality as:

$q+3\leq 15...(1)$

We are also told that the coins worth at least $2.85 combined. This means that the worth of all coins is greater than or equal to 2.85.

We know that each dime is worth $0.10 and each quarter is worth $0.25.

$0.25q+3(0.10)\geq 2.85...(2)$

Now, let us solve our system of inequalities.

From 1st inequality, we will get:

$q+3-3\leq 15-3$

$q\leq 12$

From 2nd inequality, we will get:

$0.25q+0.30\geq 2.85$

$0.25q+0.30-0.30\geq 2.85-0.30$

$0.25q\geq 2.55$

$\frac{0.25q}{0.25}\geq \frac{2.55}{0.25}$

$q\geq 10.2$

Upon combining our both inequalities, we will get:

$10.2\leq q\leq 12$

This means that numbers of quarters would be greater than or equal to 10.2 and less than or equal to 12.

Since we cannot have 0.2 of a coin, therefore, Caroline could have 11 or 12 quarters.

Donavan and Jones are randomly choosing chalices to drink from. 4 of the chalices contain purified water, 5 contain spoiled milk

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Chalice with purified water = 4

With spoiled milk = 5

With flat soda = 6

Probability of Jones drinking from a chalice with purified water after Donovan had drank from 3 = 1/3

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Total possible outcomes = (4 + 5 + 6) = 15

After Donovan drinks 3 :

Total possible outcomes = (15 - 3) = 12

If the probability of Jones choosing a chalice with purified water is 1/3 then :

(Required outcome / Total possible outcomes) =1 /3

(Required outcome / 12) = 1 / 3

Required outcome * 3 = 12

Required outcome = 12 / 3

Required outcome = 4

Therefore, since initial number of chalice with purified water is 4,

4 - 4 = 0

Then Donovan did not drink from a chalice containing purified water.

Find the linear approximation of the function g(x) = 3 1 + x at a = 0. g(x) ≈ Correct: Your answer is correct. Use it to approxi

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

$3.296x+3$

2.835

3.330

Step-by-step explanation:

$g(x) = 3^{1+x}$

Let the linear approximation be L(x) at a = 0. This is given by

$L(x) = g(a) + g'(a)(x-a)$

$g'(x)$ is the derivative of $g(x)$ . To find this, we use the form

If $f(x) = a^x$ , then $f'(x) =a^x\ln a$

By doing this and applying chain rule for the power (which is a function of x), we have

$g'(x) = 3^{1+x}\ln 3$

Then

$g'(0) = 3^{1+0}\ln 3 = 3.296$

Also $g(0) = 3^{1+0} = 3$

Hence $L(x) = 3+(x-0)\times3.296 = 3.296x + 3$

For $3^{0.95}$ , $1+x = 0.95$ and $x=-0.05$

Using this in $L(x)$ ,

$3^{0.95} = 3.296(-0.05) + 3 = 2.835$

For $3^{1.1}$ , $1+x = 1.1$ and $x=0.1$

Using this in $L(x)$ ,

$3^{1.1} = 3.296(0.1) + 3 = 3.330$
