Answer:

nickels = 12

quarters = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of quarters be "q", and

number of nickels be "n"

Nickels are worth $0.05 and Quarters are worth $0.25

Since all of them are worth 2.85, we can write:

0.25q + 0.05n = 2.85

Also, we know, there are 3 more nickels than quarters, so we can write:

n = 3 + q

Now, we can substitute equation 2 into equation 1 to get:

0.25q + 0.05n = 2.85\\0.25q + 0.05(3+q) = 2.85\\0.25q+0.15+0.05q=2.85

Now, we solve for q:

0.25q+0.15+0.05q=2.85\\0.3q=2.70\\q=9

There are 9 quarters.

We know n = 3 + q

So,

n = 3 + 9

n = 12

There are 12 nickels

Solve the equation for y. Identify the slope and y-intercept then graph the equation.
viva [34]

Answer:

y = -3    m = -1     b = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

-3y=3x-9

To isolate the y variable, divide both sides by -3.

y = -1x + 3

y = -3

m = -1

b = 3

Given f of x is equal to 1 over the quantity x minus 3 end quantity and g of x is equal to the square root of the quantity x plu
Lostsunrise [7]

The domain of the composite function is given as follows:

[–3, 6) ∪ (6, ∞)

<h3>What is the composite function of f(x) and g(x)?</h3>

The composite function of f(x) and g(x) is given as follows:

(f \circ g)(x) = f(g(x))

In this problem, the functions are:

  • f(x) = \frac{1}{x - 3}.
  • g(x) = \sqrt{x + 3}

The composite function is of the given functions f(x) and g(x) is:

f(g(x)) = f(\sqrt{x + 3}) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{x + 3} - 3}

The square root has to be non-negative, hence the restriction relative to the square root is found as follows:

x + 3 \geq 0

x \geq -3

The denominator cannot be zero, hence the restriction relative to the denominator is found as follows:

\sqrt{x + 3} - 3 \neq 0

\sqrt{x + 3} \neq 3

(\sqrt{x + 3})^2 \neq 3^2

x + 3 \neq 9

x \neq 6

Hence, from the restrictions above, of functions f(x), g(x) and the composite function, the domain is:

[–3, 6) ∪ (6, ∞)
