Answer:

Barney got 14 dimes and Betty got 10 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are only dimes and quarters in the parking meter, the total money must be equal to:

0.1*dimes + 0.25*quarters = 3.9

Since Barney got all the dimes and he has four more coins than Betty, then the number of dimes is:

dimes = quarters + 4

Applying the second expression on the first, we have:

0.1*(quarters + 4) + 0.25*quarters = 3.9\\0.1*quarters + 0.4 + 0.25*quarters = 3.9\\0.35*quarters = 3.9 - 0.4\\0.35*quarters = 3.5\\quarters = \frac{3.5}{0.35} = 10

dimes = quarters + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14

Barney got 14 dimes and Betty got 10 quarters.

5z^3 - 2z^4 - 9z^2 + z
likoan [24]

Answer:

-z( 2z^3-5z^2+9z-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply exponent rule: a^b+c=a^b*a^c

z^2=zz

z^3=z^2*z

z^4=z^3*z

Factor out common term z:

-z(2z^3-5z^2+9z-1)

Which of the following is true about a parallelogram?
insens350 [35]

Answer:

The diagonals bisect each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

Not all diagonals of a parallelogram are equal.

The only quadrilaterals with all four sides being congruent are rhombus and squares so parallelogram is wrong.

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

The diagonals of a parallelogram are only perpendicular when it is a square.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:AGC and DGH are opposite angles.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, Y+10=3x-40

Y-3x=-50-(1)

3x-40=2x

3x-2x=40

x=40

Y-3x40=-50

y-120=-50

y=-50+120

y=70

Hence, the answer is A 70°

Evan wants to build a rectangular enclosure for his animals. One side of the pen will be against the barn, so he needs no fence
pentagon [3]

Answer:  A.   A=(1000-2w)*w      B. 250 feet

C.  125 000 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of rectangular is A=l*w    (1)

From another hand the length of the fence is 2*w+l=1000        (2)

L is not multiplied by 2, because the opposite side of the l is the barn,- we don't need in fence on that side.

Express l from (2):

l=1000-2w

Substitude l in (1) by 1000-2w

A=(1000-2w)*w        (3)   ( Part A. is done !)

Part B.

To find the width w  (Wmax) that corresponds to max of area A   we have to dind the roots of equation (1000-2w)w=0  ( we get it from (3))

w1=0  1000-2*w2=0

w2=500

Wmax= (w1+w2)/2=(0+500)/2=250 feet

The width that maximize area A is Wmax=250 feet

Part C.   Using (3) and the value of Wmax=250 we can write the following:

A(Wmax)=250*(1000-2*250)=250*500=125 000 square feets
