Make a system of equations:

0.10x + 0.25y = 3.95
x + y = 23

x + y = 23

Subtract 'y' to both sides:

x = -y + 23

Plug in -y + 23 for 'x' in the first equation:

0.10(-y + 23) + 0.25y = 3.95

Distribute 0.10:

-0.10y + 2.3 + 0.25y = 3.95

Subtract 2.3 to both sides:

-0.10y + 0.25y = 1.65

Combine like terms:

0.15y = 1.65

Divide 0.15 to both sides:

y = 11

Plug this into any of the two equations to find 'x':

x + y = 23

x + 11 = 23

Subtract 11 to both sides:

x = 12

So Sally has 11 dimes and 12 quarters.

Find a cubic function f(x) = ax3 + bx2 + cx + d that has a local maximum value of 3 at x = −3 and a local minimum value of 0 at
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

The cubic function is f(x) = (27/32)·x  - 3/32·x³ - -9/32·x² - 9/32

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is f(x) = a·x³ + b·x² + c·x + d

By differentiation, we have;

3·a·x² + 2·b·x + c = 0

3·a·(-3)² + 2·b·(-3) + c = 0

3·a·9 - 6·b + c = 0

27·a - 6·b + c = 0

3·a·(1)² + 2·b·(1) + c = 0

3·a + 2·b + c = 0

a·(-3)³ + b·(-3)² + c·(-3) + d = -3

-27·a + 9·b - 3·c + d = -3...(1)

a + b + c + d = 0...(2)

Subtracting equation (1) from equation (2) gives;

28·a - 8·b + 4·c = 3

Therefore, we have;

27·a - 6·b + c = 0

3·a + 2·b + c = 0

28·a - 8·b + 4·c = 0

Solving the system of equations using an Wolfram Alpha gives;

a = -3/32, b = -9/32, c = 27/32 from which we have;

a + b + c + d = 0 3 × (-3/32) + 2 × (-9/32) + (27/32) + d = 0

d = 0 - (0 3 × (-3/32) + 2 × (-9/32) + (27/32)) = -9/32

The cubic function is therefore f(x) = (-3/32)·x³ + (-9/32)·x² + (27/32)·x + (-9/32).

Rewrite sin^2 2xcos ^2 2x as an expression in terms of the first power of cosine
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

use the formula { a couple of times} cos 2 Θ = 2 cos ² Θ - 1 = 1 - 2 sin ² Θ....your answer will likely have a cos  2x , a cos 4x , and a cos 6x in it.....note : cos ² Θ - sin ²Φ = cos ( Θ + Φ) cos (Θ - Φ) will also be needed for appropriate choices of Θ & Φ in terms of x

Find all of the points on the x-axis which are 6 units from the point (−1, 1).
anyanavicka [17]
All the points that are 6 units from (-1, 1) are those on the circle
  (x+1)^2 +(y-1)^2 = 36

For y=0, the two points of interest satisfy
  (x+1)^2 +1 = 36
  (x+1)^2 = 35 . . . . . . subtract 1
  x+1 = ±√35
  x = -1±√35

The points you seek are (-1-√35, 0) and (-1+√35, 0), about (-6.916, 0) and (4.916, 0).

If the ratio of the measure of the complement of an angle to the measure of its supplement is 1:3, find the measure of the angle
prohojiy [21]
Set up and solve an equation:

3(90-x) = (180-x).  Then  270 - 3x = 180 - x, or   270 - 180 = 2x.
                                                                               90 = 2x, so x = 45 deg.

Is this true?     3(90-45) = (180-45)?  If so, x = 45 degrees is correct.
