The number of pennies in bank is 42

Solution:

Given that ratio of pennies to quarters in a piggy bank is 14 : 3

Let 14x be the number of pennies in piggy bank

Let 3x be the number of quarters in piggy bank

To find: number of pennies

Given that there are 51 quarters

number of pennies in piggy bank + number of quarters in piggy bank = 51

14x + 3x = 51

17x = 51

x = 3

number of pennies = 14x = 14(3) = 42

Thus the number of pennies in bank is 42

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints.

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

The coordinates of the midpoint of AB is (4.5, -1.5)

We can find this by taking the average of each coordinate. The average of the x's (2 and 7) is 4.5, while the average of the y's (-4 and 1) is -1.5.

The coordinates of the midpoint of CD is (-5.5, 1)

We can find this by taking the average of the coordinates as we did in the first one. The average of the x's (-3 and -8) is -5.5, while the average of the y's (-2 and 4) is 1.

If the parent function is \root(3)(x), describe the translation of the function y=\root(3)(x+4)-3

xeze [42]

The parent function moves 4 units right and 3 units down. This is a translation by the vector.

According to the question,

Transformation $\sqrt[3]{x}$ maps onto $\sqrt[3]{x+4} -3$ . Take f(x) = $\sqrt[3]{x}$ and f(x+4)= $\sqrt[3]{x+4}$ .

f(x) = $\sqrt[3]{x}$

f(x+4)= $\sqrt[3]{x+4}$

f(x+4) - 3= $\sqrt[3]{x+4}$ - 3

Analyze the function to see the translations. f(x-4) corresponds to a horizontal translation 4 units in the positive 'x' direction. f(x)-3 corresponds to a vertical translation 3 units in the negative 'y' direction.

Hence, the parent function moves 4 units right and 3 units down. This is a translation by the vector.
