Answer:

David find <u>8</u> quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

David was in need for some money so he decided to clean out the water fountain at the mall he found 20 nickels and quarters.

The collection of nickels and quarters totaled to 2.6.

Now, to find the quarters David find.

Let the number of nickels be $x$

And the number of quarters be $y$

Thus, the number of nickels and quarters he found:

$x+y=20.$

⇒ $x=20-y$ .........( 1 )

The totaled of nickels and quarters:

$0.05x+0.25y=2.6$

(As 1 nickel=$0.05 and 1 quarter=$0.25)

Now, putting the equation ( 1 ) in the place of $x$ we get:

$0.05(20-y)+0.25y=2.6$

⇒ $1-0.05y+0.25y=2.6$

⇒ $1+0.20y=2.6$

<em>Subtracting both sides by 1 we get:</em>

⇒ $0.20y=1.6$

<em>Dividing both sides by 0.20 we get:</em>

⇒ $y = 8.$

So, the quarters = 8.

Therefore, David find 8 quarters.

With no limiting factors to the growth of the plants, the number of months have passed since the plants were first introduced is 23.1.

<h3>What is an exponential function?</h3>

Exponential function is the function in which the function growth or decay with the power of the independent variable. The curve of the exponential function depends on the value of its variable.

A type of plant is introduced into an ecosystem and quickly begins to take over.

A scientist counts the number of plants after m months and develops the equation to model the situation, which is given as,

$p(m)=19.3(1089)^m$

Most recently, the scientist counted 138 plants.

$138=19.3(1089)^m\\(1089)^m=7.15$

Taking log both sides of the equation,

$\log(1.089)^m=\log7.15\\m\log(1.089)=\log(7.15)\\m=\dfrac{\log7.15}{\log(1.089)}\\m\approx23.1$

Thus, with no limiting factors to the growth of the plants, the number of months have passed since the plants were first introduced is 23.1.

Please help me asap i will give brainiest and all my points

Answer:

a. Not Divisible

b. Divisible

c. Divisible

d. Divisible

e. Divisible

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the divisibility we need to follow the PEMDAS rule and check if the total value can be divided by the selected numbers without returning a remainder.

Let's begin with a:

$16^{5}+215$ by 33

$1,048,576 + 215$

$1,048,791$

We now then divide the total amount with 33.

$\dfrac{1,048,576}{33}$

= 31,781.5454

We can see that the value has a decimal point indicating that the total value divided by 33 will return a remainder. So it is NOT Divisible by 33.

Now let's continue on with the others.

$51^{7}-51^{6}$ by 25

$897,410,677,851 - 17,596,287,801$

$879,814,390,050$

We now then divide the total amount with 25.

$\dfrac{879,814,390,050}{25}$

= 35,192,575,602

The total value did NOT return a decimal point, therefore making the equation true. $51^{7}-51^{6}$ IS divisible by 25.

Next on we have:

$5^{5}-5^{4} +5^{3}$ by 7

$3,125 - 625 + 125$

As we know in the PEMDAS rule, that addition comes first. In this situation we have to read the equation from left to right and solve which ever comes first.

$2,500 + 125$

$2,625$

We now then divide the total amount with 7.

$\dfrac{2,625}{7}$

= 375

The total value did NOT return a decimal point, therefore making the equation true. $5^{5}-5^{4} +5^{3}$ IS divisible by 7.

$7^6+7^5-7^4$ by 11

$117,649+16,807-2,401$

$134,456-2,401$

$132,055$

We now then divide the total amount with 11.

$\dfrac{132,055}{11}$

= 12,005

The total value did NOT return a decimal point, therefore making the equation true. $7^6+7^5-7^4$ IS divisible by 11.

Last but not the least:

$5^{23}-5^{21}$ by 24

$11,920,928,955,078,125-476,837,158,203,125$

$11,444,091,796,875,000$

We now then divide the total amount with 24.

$\dfrac{11,444,091,796,875,000}{24}$

= 476,837,158,203,125

The total value did NOT return a decimal point, therefore making the equation true. $5^{23}-5^{21}$ IS divisible by 24.
