Let us bear in mind the equivalent value of these coins:
One dime = $0.10
One quarter = $0.25
Let x = number of dimes
y<span> = number of quarters</span>
Since the boy has 70 coins in total, we can say that:
<span>x + y = </span><span>70 </span>(can be written as x = 70 – y)
Since the boy has a total of $12.40, we can say that:
0.10x + 0.25y = 12.40
To solve this problem, we need to solve this system of equation. We have to substitute the value of x as written in the first equation (x = 70 –y)
0.10(70 – y) + 0.25y = 12.40
7 – 0.10y + 0.25y = 12.40
0.15y = 5.40
y = 36
X = 70 – 36
X = 34
Therefore,<span> the boys </span>has<span> 34 dimes and 36 quarters. To check our answer, we just have to check if his money would total $12.40.</span>
34 dimes = $3.40
36 dimes = $9.00
<span>Total </span><span>$12.40</span>
Use distributive method
5r - 50 = -51
Add 50
5r = -1
Divide by 5
r = -1/5
Answer: a) degree and sign
b) end behavior: left side → +∞, right side → -∞
c) x-intercepts: x = -1.3, 0.3, 1.0
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
end behavior can be determined by two things:
1) the degree of the polynomial:
- if the degree is an even number, then the end behavior will be the same for both the left and right sides.
- if the degree is an odd number, then the end behavior will be different for both the left and right sides.
2) the sign of the leading coefficient:
- If the leading coefficient is positive, then the end behavior of the right side goes to positive infinity
- If the leading coefficient is negative, then the end behavior of the right side goes to negative infinity
W(x) = -5x³ + 7x - 2
Degree: 3 (odd)
Leading Coefficient: negative
So, end behavior is: right side goes to negative infinity, right side goes to positive infinity.
