Janae has 280 dimes in her piggy bank she has 10 times as many pennies how many pennies does Janae have

Natalija [7]

Answer:

She has 28 pennies

Step-by-step explanation:

Janae has 280 dimes in her piggy bank she has 10 times as many pennies .

If she has 280 dimes in piggy bank

And has 10 times as many pennies

Let dimes= x

Let pennies= y

X= 10y

But x= 280

280= 10y

280/10 = y

28 = y

She has 28 pennies

Solve equation, check for extraneous solutions

fiasKO [112]

Start with

$1=\dfrac{1}{n^2}+\dfrac{n^2-4n-5}{3n^2}$

We observe that both fractions are not defined if $n=0$ . So, we will assume $n \neq 0$ .

We multiply both numerator and denominator of the first fraction by 3 and we sum the two fractions:

$1=\dfrac{3}{3n^2}+\dfrac{n^2-4n-5}{3n^2} = \dfrac{n^2-4n-2}{3n^2}$

We multiply both sides by $3n^2$ :

$n^2-4n-2=3n^2$

We move everything to one side and solve the quadratic equation:

$2n^2+4n+2=0 \iff 2(n^2+2n+1)=0 \iff 2(n+1)^2=0 \iff n+1=0 \iff n=-1$

We check the solution:

$1=\dfrac{1}{1}+\dfrac{1+4-5}{3} \iff 1 = 1+0$

which is true

Janet wants to plant a square flower garden in her yard. She has enough topsoil to cover an area of 30 square feet. How long can

gregori [183]

It can be at least 5.4 feet long since the area of a square is A=s^2. 5.4 times 5.4 is 30

Find the distance from point A to the given line:<br> A(-1, 7), y=3x<br><br> How do I solve this?

kipiarov [429]

he formula of a distance between a point (a, b)

and a line Ax + By + C = 0:

$d=\dfrac{|Aa+Bb+C|}{\sqrt{A^2+B^2}}$

We have the point A(-1, 7) → a = -1, b = 7

and the line y = 3x → 3x - y = 0 → A = 3, B = -1, C = 0.

Substitute:

$d=\dfrac{|(3)(-1)+(-1)(7)+0|}{\sqrt{3^2+(-1)^2}}=\dfrac{|-3-7|}{\sqrt{9+1}}=\dfrac{|-10|}{\sqrt{10}}=\dfrac{10\sqrt{10}}{\sqrt{10}\cdot\sqrt{10}}\\\\=\dfrac{10\sqrt{10}}{10}=\sqrt{10}$

<h3>Answer: d = √10</h3>

Evaluate the difference quotient for the given function. Simplify your answer.

nasty-shy [4]

I suppose you mean

$f(x) = \dfrac{x+5}{x+1}$

Then

$f(3) = \dfrac{3+5}{3+1} = \dfrac84 = 2$

and the difference quotient is

$\dfrac{f(x)-f(3)}{x-3} = \dfrac{\frac{x+5}{x+1}-2}{x-3} \\\\ \dfrac{f(x)-f(3)}{x-3} = \dfrac{\frac{x+5-2(x+1)}{x+1}}{x-3} \\\\ \dfrac{f(x)-f(3)}{x-3} = \dfrac{-x+3}{(x+1)(x-3)} \\\\ \dfrac{f(x)-f(3)}{x-3} = \boxed{-\dfrac{x-3}{(x+1)(x-3)}}$

If it's the case that <em>x</em> ≠ 3, then (<em>x</em> - 3)/(<em>x</em> - 3) reduces to 1, and you would be left with

$\dfrac{f(x)-f(3)}{x-3}\bigg|_{x\neq3} = -\dfrac1{x+1}$
