Answer:

  • 11 nickels
  • 5 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

If all were dimes, she would have $1.60, which is $0.55 more than she actually has. Replacing a dime with a nickel reduces the total by .05, so there must be .55/.05 = 11 such replacements. This is the number of nickels. The number of dimes makes up the rest of the 16 coins.

Nicole has 11 nickels and 5 dimes.

_____

You can write equations for this several ways. My personal favorite is to use a single variable to represent the number of highest-value coin: d = number of dimes. Then the number of nickels is 16-d and the total value is ...

  0.10d + 0.05(16 -d) = 1.05

  0.05d + 0.80 = 1.05 . . . eliminate parentheses, collect terms

  0.05d = 0.25 . . . . . . . . . subtract 0.80

  d = 0.25/0.05 = 5 . . . . . number of dimes

  16-d = 16-5 = 11 . . . . . . . .number of nickels

__

If you let the variable match the number of nickels, the solution looks a lot like the one described in words, above.

  0.05n + 0.10(16 -n) = 1.05

  -0.05n +1.60 = 1.05

  -0.05n = -0.55 . . . . . . . subtract 1.60

  n = -0.55/-0.05 = 11 . . . number of nickels

  16-n = 16-11 = 5 . . . . . . . number of dimes

__

Comparing these two solutions, you see that we work with negative numbers in the second solution. The reason for choosing the variable to represent the higher-value coin is to keep the numbers positive, as they are in the first solution. (It's no big deal, if you're not bothered by negative number arithmetic.)

Answer:

dh/dt=9.82x10^-3 ft/min

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You have that the rate is10 ft³/min. Then:

dV/dt=10

2. The formula for calculate the volume of a cone, is:

V=1/3(πr²h)

"r" is the radius and "h" is the height.

3. The diameter of the base of the cone is approximately 3 times the altitude. Then, the radius is:

r=diameter/2

diameter=3h

r=3h/2

4. When you susbstitute r=3h/2 into the formula V=πr²h/3, you have:

V=1/3(πr²h)

V=1/3(π(3h/2)²(h)

V=1/3(π9h²/4)(h)

V=9πh³/12

5. Therefore:

dV/dt=(9πh²/4)dh/dt

h=12

dV/dt=10

6. When you substitute the values of dV/dt and h into dV/dt=(9π(12)²/4)dh/dt, you have:

dV/dt=(9π(12)²/4)dh/dt

10=(1017.876)

7. Finally, you obtain:

dh/dt=10/1017.876

dh/dt=9.82x10^-3 ft/min

Look at the following relation. What is the domain and range?
mylen [45]

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

The domain is the input, and the range is the output.

The domain is also known as the x values and the output as the y values (x,y).

So:

<em>domain: {4, -1, 0, 2}</em>

<em>range: {-4, 3, 5, 8}</em>
