Every evening Jenna empties her pockets and puts her change in a jar. At the end of the week she counts her money. One week she

had 40 coins, all of them dimes and quarters. When she added them up, she had a total of $7.75. Let d= number of dimes and q= number of quarters

A) .10 d + .25 q = 7.75
B) d + q = 40

Multiplying B) by -.10
B)  -.10d -.10q = -4.0
Then adding this to A)
A) .10 d + .25 q = 7.75
.15q = 3.75

Quarters = 25
Therefore, dimes = 15
***************************************************
Double-Check
A) .10 d + .25 q = 7.75
A) .10 * 15 d + .25 * 25 = 7.75
A) 1.50 + 6.25 = 7.75

Correct!!

Work out the formula for the nth term of the<br>quadratic sequence:<br>5, 11, 19, 29​
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

n squared + 3n + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

5,11,19,29

Firstly look at the difference between each number. The first difference is 6 then 8 then 10 etc. After that you look at your created sequence - 6,8,10 etc. The difference is 2 each time. Then applying rules, you have to do the constant difference divided by 2 to get a coefficient of n squared. So in this case it's n squared because 2/2 = 1 so you don't have to place a 1 in front of the n squared. After you create a sequence from the n squared. That would be 1,4,9 etc. Then you need to see how to get from the sequence: 1,4,9 etc to your original sequence: 5,11,19 etc. So if you calculate it you will get 4,7,10 because firstly 5-1 = 4 then 11-4 = 7 etc. The sequence 4,7,10 is a linear sequence so the constant difference is 3 each time. So to get a nth term of a linear sequence you will start off as 3n then you will substitute 1 then 2 then 3 into the 3n. Therefore that would be 3,6 etc. So if you take the first substituted term, that would be 3 as said before then you will have to see how to get from the 3 to 4 so that is just adding 1. So the nth term of this linear sequence is 3n + 1. Check if it works at the end. So the overall nth term of the quadratic sequence is n squared as said before + 3n + 1.

SLOPES PLSSS HELLLLP<br> what goes in the box?
Lisa [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

Water is the universal solvent" with a grain of salt (pun intended). Of course it cannot dissolve everything, but it does dissolve more substances than any other liquid, so the term fits pretty well. Water's solvent properties affect all life on Earth, so water is universally important to all of us.

A plot of 1/no2 versus time is linear. using this information, identify the factor by which the rate will increase in model (c)
WITCHER [35]
This is hard in mathematical language, but there is only this way to present it. Let us denote by A the consentration of the substance and by A' its rate.
We have that b/A= t+c where c is a constant.
Hence A=b/(c+t)
By differentiating, we get that A'=-b/(C+t)^2
Then, we have that -(A)^2=A'/b
Hence at any point, we have that if we make the concentration 17 times, we have that there is a 17 times bigger , the rate will become bigger by 17*17, hence 289 times faster.
