Twenty-five blue and twenty-five yellow marbles are placed in a jar. Thirty-four marbles are removed from the jar and put in a s

econd jar. What is the positive difference between the number of blue marbles in the second jar and the number of yellow marbles remaining in the first jar?

Answer:

a) Let b represent the number of blue marbles placed in the second jar. Then 34-b is the number of yellow marbles in the second jar, and 25 - (34-b) is the number of yellow marbles remaining in the first jar. That value simplifies to b-9. The positive difference between b and (b-9) is 9.  

b) Let n, d, p represent the numbers of nickels, dimes, and pennies, respectively.  

.. (5n + 10d + p)/(n + d + p) = 7 ... the average value of the collection is 7 cents per coin  

.. (5(n-1) + 10d + (p+5))/((n-1) + d + (p+5)) = 6 ... replacing one nickel with pennies changes the average to 6 cents per coin  

Multiplying by the denominator and subtracting the right side of each resulting equation gives  

.. 10d + 5n + p = 7d + 7n + 7p  

.. 10d + 5n + p = 6d + 6n + 6p + 24  

Subtracting the second equation from the first gives  

.. 0 = d + n + p - 24 ... tells us the total number of coins is 24. This tells us the total value is $1.68 = 24*$0.07.  

This sum will consist of at least 3 pennies. If that is all the pennies, then the remaining 21 nickels and dimes must add to $1.65. If all were nickels, the value of the 21 coins would be $1.05. We have $0.60 more than that. For each nickel traded for a dime, we gain $.05, so 12 of the 21 nickels must be traded for dimes to raise the total coin value to $1.65.  

Alternatively, you can write two equations in the two unknowns:  

.. d + n = 21  

.. 10d + 5n = 165  

Subtracting 5 times the first equation from the second gives  

.. 5d = 60 ... which gives the same answer as reasoned above.  

There are 3 pennies, 9 nickels, 12 dimes. (If there are 8 pennies to start, then the number of nickels is zero, so it is impossible to trade one for 5 pennies. The solution shown is the only one.)

How can the Associative, Commutative, and Distributive Properties be applied when performing operations on complex numbers and p
ozzi
By using Associative, Commutative, and Distributive Properties in performing operations on complex numbers and polynomials, you would be able to simplify correctly and simply. To combine complex numbers, you must distribute any coefficients in front of the parentheses. Then identify and<span>combine like terms by combining the real number parts and the imaginary number parts separately.</span>

Mischa wrote the quadratic equation 0 = –x2 + 4x – 7 in standard form. What is the value of c in her equation
Zolol [24]

Mischa wrote the quadratic equation 0 = –x2 + 4x – 7 in standard form

The standard form of quadratic equation is

y= ax^2 + bx + c

When y=0 then the standard equation becomes

0= ax^2 + bx + c

Now we compare the given equation 0 = -x^2 + 4x - 7  with 0= ax^2 + bx + c and find the value of a, b,c

-x^2 can be written as -1x^2

0= ax^2 + bx + c

0 = -1x^2 + 4x - 7

a= -1 , b=4  and c=-7

The value of c is -7

Two streets bounding your triangular lot make an angle of 74∘. The lengths of the two sides of the lot on these streets are 126
ycow [4]

Answer: a) Yes, there is enough fance

b) 58.1° and 47.9°

c) The city will not approve, because 1/3 of the area is just 2220.5ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

a) using law of cosines: x is the side we do not know.

x² = 126² + 110² - 2.126.110.cos74°

x² = 20335.3

x = 142.6 ft

So 150 > 142.6, there is enough fance

b) using law of sine:

sin 74/ 142.6 = sinα/126 = sinβ/110

sin 74/ 142.6 = sinα/126

0.006741 = sinα/126

sinα = 0.849

α = sin⁻¹(0.849)

α = 58.1°

sin 74/ 142.6 = sinβ/110

sin 74/ 142.6 = sinβ/110

0.006741 = sinβ/110

sinβ = 0.741

β = sin⁻¹(0.741)

β = 47.9°

Checking: 74+58.1+47.9 = 180° ok

c) Using Heron A² = p(p-a)(p-b)(p-c)

p = a+b+c/2

p=126+110+142.6/2

p=189.3

A² = 189.3(189.3-126)(189.3-110)(189.3-142.6)

A = 6661.5 ft²

1/3 A = 2220.5

So 2300 >  2220.5. The area you want to build is bigger than the area available.

The city will not approve
