No.

f(-2) = -114, not zero.
(x-4) is the only rational factor of f(x).

Sasha has 3.20 in U.S. coins. She has the same number of quarters and nickels. What is the greatest number of quarters she could

RSB [31]

Answer:

10 quarters = $2.50

10 nickels = $0.50

that leaves $0.20 for other coins (dimes / pennies)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, suppose she has only quarters and nickels and no other coins. Then if C is the identical number of coins of each type, then 5C + 25C = 320, so 30C = 320 and 3C = 32, but there is no integer solution to this. So she must have at least one other type of coin.

Assume she has only quarters, nickels, and dimes. Then if D is the number of dimes, 5C + 25C + 10D = 320, which means 30C + 10D = 320, or 3C + D = 32. The smallest D can be is 2, leaving 3C = 30 and thus C = 10. So in this scenario she would have 10 quarters, 10 nickels, and two dimes to make $2.50 + $0.50 + $0.20 = $3.20.

This has to be the highest number, because if she had 11 quarters and 11 nickels, that alone would add up to 11(0.25) + 11(0.05) = $3.30, which would already be too much.

Answer:

B. f(-1)=6

C. The domain of f(x) is the set {-2.-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,6}

Step-by-step explanation:

To find f(5) from the table means, the y-value that corresponds to x=5.

This value is 12.

This implies that:

f(5)=12

Also the y-value that corresponds to -1 is 6.

Hence f(-1)=6

The domain of f(x) are the set of all the x-values.

The domain is : {-2.-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,6}

The range for f(x) is the set of all the corresponding y-values.

From the table, the range is: {5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13}

Twenty toothpicks, each 6 cm long, form a figure consisting of six equilateral triangles and a rectangle as shown. What is the t

Roman55 [17]

The total area of the figure is 139.20 square centimeters

Areas

The area of a shape is the amount of space it occupies

<h3>Composite figure</h3>

The figure (see attachment) is a composite figure, and the total area is the sum of the areas of each shape that makes up the complete figure

The shape has 6 equilateral triangles, each of which has an area of:

$A_1 = \sqrt{\frac{3s^2}{4}}$
