Answer:

Number of nickels = 5

Number of dimes = 10

Number of quarters = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Fernando has a total of nickels + dimes + quarters = 3.25$

Let the number of nickels = x

Then x(.05) + dimes(.10) + quarters(0.25) = 3.25------(1)

He has twice as many dimes as nickels

dimes = 2×nickels

dimes = 2x--------(2)

He has 3 more quarters than nickels

quarters = nickels +3

quarters = x +3------(3)

From equations 1, 2, and 3.

x(.05) + 2x(.10) + (x + 3)(.25) = 3.25

.05x + 0.2x + 0.25x + .75 = 3.25

5x + 20x + 25x + 75 = 325

50x = 325 - 75

50x = 250

x = 5

Therefore the number of nickels are 5

from equation 2 number of dimes are 10

and from equation 3 number of quarters are 8.

Veronika [31]

Y=0.213x-352  will represent this linear model shown in the data table.

<h3>What will be the linear model for the given data?</h3>

Put the values of the x in the all given equations and then check the value of y if the value of y matches the given values in the option

So if we put the value x=1980 in the Y=0.213x-352  then

Y=0.213(1980)-352

Y=69.74

These values are closest to 70.1 whereas other options do not satisfy the condition.

Thus Y=0.213x-352  will represent this linear model shown in the data table.

A ball is thrown straight out at 80 feet per second from an upstairs window that's 15 feet off the ground. Find the ball's horiz
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the horizontal distance the ball travels, we need to know first how long it took to hit the ground. We will find that time in the y-dimension, and then use that time in the x-dimension, which is the dimension in question when we talk about horizontal distance. Here's what we know in the y-dimension:

a = -32 ft/s/s

v₀ = 0 (since the ball is being thrown straight out the window, the angle is 0 degrees, which translates to no upwards velocity at all)

Δx = -15 feet (negative because the ball lands 15 feet below the point from which it drops)

t = ?? sec.

The equation we will use is the one for displacement:

Δx = v_0t+\frac{1}{2}at^2 and filling in:

-15=(0)t+\frac{1}{2}(-32)t^2 which simplifies down to

-15=-16t^2 so

t=\sqrt{\frac{-15}{-16} } so

t = .968 sec (That is not the correct number of sig fig's but if I use the correct number, the answer doesn't come out to be one of the choices given. So I deviate from the rules a bit here out of necessity.)

Now we use that time in the x-dimension. Here's what we know in that dimension specifically:

a = 0 (acceleration in this dimension is always 0)

v₀ = 80 ft/sec

t = .968 sec

Δx = ?? feet

We use the equation for displacement again, and filling in what we know in this dimension:

Δx = (80)(.968) +(0)(.968)^2 and of course the portion of that after the plus sign goes to 0, leaving us with simply:

Δx = (80)(.968)

Δx = 77.46 feet
