After breaking your penny bank, you notice that you have $4.87 in quarters ($0.25), dimes ($0.10), nickels ($0.05), and pennies

($0.01). If there are twice as many pennies as nickels and one and a half time the number of nickels as dimes and 34 more pennies than quarters, how many pennies do you have? A. 17 B. 34 C. 42 D. 44

Answer: Option 'c' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of dimes  be 'x'.

Let the number of nickels  be '\dfrac{3}{2}x'.

Let the number of pennies be \dfrac{3}{2}\times 2x=3x

Let the number of quarters be '3x-34'.

As we know that

1 quarter = $0.25

1 dime = $0.10

1 nickel = $0.05

1 penny = $0.01

According to question, we get that

0.10x+0.05\times \dfrac{3x}{2}+0.01\times 3x+0.25(3x-34)=4.87\\\\0.10x+0.075x+0.03x+0.75x-8.5=4.87\\\\\\0.955x=4.87+8.5\\\\0.955x=13.37\\\\x=\dfrac{13.37}{0.955}\\\\x=14

So, the number of pennies is given by

3x=3\times 14=42

Hence, Option 'c' is correct.

Anon25 [30]

The quadratic equations and their solutions are;

9 ± √33 /4 = 2x² - 9x + 6.

4 ± √6 /2 = 2x² - 8x + 5.

9 ± √89 /4 = 2x² - 9x - 1.

4 ± √22 /2 = 2x² - 8x - 3.

Explanation:

  • Any quadratic equation of the form, ax² + bx + c = 0 can be solved using the formula x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a. Here a, b, and c are the coefficients of the x², x, and the numeric term respectively.
  • We have to solve all of the five equations to be able to match the equations with their solutions.
  • 2x² - 8x + 5, here a = 2, b = -8, c = 5.                                                  x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a = -(-8) ± √(-8)² - 4(2)(5) / 2(2) = 8 ± √64 - 40/4.     24 can also be written as 4 × 6 and √4 = 2. So                                                                                     x = 8 ± 2√6 / 2×2= 4±√6/2.
  • 2x² - 10x + 3, here a = 2, b = -10, c = 3.                                                   x =-b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a =-(-10) ± √(-10)² - 4(2)(3) / 2(4) = 10 ± √100 + 24/4. 124 can also be written as 4 × 31 and √4 = 2. So                                                                              x = 10 ± 2√31 / 2×2 = 5 ± √31 /2.
  • 2x² - 8x - 3, here a = 2, b = -8, c = -3.                                                    x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a = -(-8) ± √(-8)² - 4(2)(-3) / 2(2) = 8 ± √64 + 24/4.     88 can also be written as 4 × 22 and √4 = 2. So                                                                             x = 8 ± 2√22 / 2×2 = 4± √22/2.
  • 2x² - 9x - 1, here a = 2, b = -9, c = -1.                                                     x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a = -(-9) ± √(-9)² - 4(2)(-1) / 2(2) = 9 ± √81 + 8/4.                                          x = 9 ± √89 / 4.
  • 2x² - 9x + 6, here a = 2, b = -9, c = 6.                                                    x = -b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a = -(-9) ± √(-9)² - 4(2)(6) / 2(2) = 9 ± √81 - 48/4.                                                                             x = 9 ± √33 / 4 .

4. You sketch a right triangle that has a
stich3 [128]

Answer:

√95 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, you need to use the pythagorean theorem, or a^2 + b^2 = c^2

The hypotenuse is the c and let one leg be b. You can write:

a^2 + 7^2 = 12^2

a^2 + 49 = 144

Now, you need to solve for a:

a^2 = 144 - 49

a^2 = 95

a = √95 cm, or about 9.75cm
