Set up a system of equations.
d + q = 75
.1d + .25q = 14.25

Multiply the first equation by -.1 so that the "d's" will cancel.
-.1d -.1q = -7.5
.1d +.25q = 14.25
Now add the two equations together
      .15q = 6.75
divide both sides by .15
        q = 45
There are 45 quarters in the jar

What is the factored form of 3x + 21x-24?
anastassius [24]

Answer:

factorize form of the equation is  24(x-1)=0  , where  x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Equation:

                        3x + 21x-24=0    

  Adding the terms of 'x' and taking constants on the other side.                        

                    24x-24=0

The sign of the constant will change on changing the side of it.                

                         24x=24

                           x=\frac{24}{24}

                            x=1

So, the value of  'x' is 1

The factorized form of the equation can be made by taking the common value from the equation i.e  

                      24x-24=0\\

                   24(x-1)=0

<h3>One less than the product of four and a number is 11. What is that number ?</h3>

Answer: The number is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We will call X the number, then 4X - 1 = 11

4X = 11 + 1 =12

X = 12/4 =3

This is the number = 3

A bridge is built in the shape of a parabolic arch. The bridge arch has a span of 166 feet and a maximum height of 40 feet. Find
scoray [572]

Answer:

38.27775 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The bridge has been shown in the figure.

Let the highest point of the parabolic bridge (i.e. vertex of the parabola) be at the origin, O(0,0) in the cartesian coordinate system.

As the bridge have the shape of an inverted parabola, so the standard equation, which describes the shape of the bridge is

x^2=4ay\;\cdots(i)

where a is an arbitrary constant (distance between focus and vertex of the parabola).

The span of the bridge = 166 feet and

Maximum height of the bridge= 40 feet.

The coordinate where the bridge meets the base is A(83, -40) and B(-83, -40).

There is only one constant in the equation of the parabola, so, use either of one point to find the value of a.

Putting A(83,-40) in the equation (i) we have

83^2=4a(-40)

\Rightarrow a=-43.05625

So, on putting the value of a in the equation (i), the equation of bridge is

x^2=-172.225y

From the figure, the distance from the center is measured along the x-axis, x coordinate at the distance of 10 feet is, x=\pm 10 feet, put this value in equation (i) to get the value of y.

(\pm10)^2=-172.225y

\Rightarrow y=-1.72225 feet.

The point P_1(10,-1.72225) and P_2(-10,-1.72225) represent the point on the bridge at a distance of 10 feet from its center.

The distance of these points from the x-axis is d=1.72225 feet and the distance of the base of the bridge from the x-axis is h=40 feet.

Hence, height from the base of the bridge at 10 feet from its center

= h-d

=40-1.72225=38.27775 feet.
