Answer:

<u>Option C. 4 nickels and 5 quarters</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of nickels = x, and the number of quarters = y

Derrick has a total of 9 nickels and quarters in his pocket

So, x + y = 9

∴ y = 9 - x ⇒(1)

1 nickel = 5 cent = $0.05

1 quarter = 25 cent = $0.25

The total amount of money he has in coins is $1.45

So, 0.05 x + 0.25 y = 1.45

Multiply the both sides by 100

∴ 5x + 25y = 145 ⇒(2)

Substitute with y from (1) at (2)

∴ 5x + 25(9-x) = 145

Solve for x

5x + 225 - 25x = 145

-20x = 145 - 225 = -80

x = -80/-20 = 4

Substitute with x at (1)

y = 9 - 4 = 5

So, The number of nickels = 4 , and the number of quarters = 5

<u>The answer is option C. 4 nickels and 5 quarters</u>

Based on its degree, what kind of polynomial is this <br><br> h(x)= -6x^3+2x-5
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

cubic polynomial

Step-by-step explanation:

Given polynomial is \[h(x)=-6x^{3}+2x-5\]

A polynomial of degree 1 is a linear polynomial.

A polynomial of degree 2 is a quadratic polynomial.

A polynomial of degree 3 is a cubic polynomial.

In this case the exponent with the maximum value in the polynomial is 3.

Hence the degree of the polynomial h(x) is 3.

Hence the given polynomial is a cubic polynomial.
