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>

Determine whether the given function is a solution to the given differential equation.
lesantik [10]

Given :

A function , x = 2cos t -3sin t               .....equation 1.

A differential equation , x'' + x = 0      .....equation 2.

To Find :

Whether the given function is a solution to the given differential equation.

Solution :

First derivative of x :

x'=\dfrac{d(2cos t - 3sin t)}{dt}\\\\x'=\dfrac{d(2cost)}{dt}-\dfrac{(3sint)}{dt}\\\\x'=-2sint-3cost

Now , second derivative :

x''=\dfrac{d(-2sint-3cost)}{dt}\\\\x''=-\dfrac{d(2sint)}{dt}-\dfrac{d(3cost)}{dt}\\\\x''=-2cost+3sint

( Note : derivative of sin t is cos t and cos t is -sin t )

Putting value of x'' and x in equation 2 , we get :

=(-2cos t + 3sin t ) + ( 2cos t -3sin t )

= 0

So , x'' and x satisfy equation 2.

Therefore , x function is a solution of given differential equation .

Hence , this is the required solution .
