Answer:

The number of dimes is <u>14</u> and the number of quarters is <u>7</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Emily has $3.15 worth of dimes and quarters.

<em><u>She has twice as many dimes as quarters.</u></em>

Now, to determine the number of dimes and the number of quarters.

Let the number of quarters be x.

And the number of dimes be  2x.

So, the total worth of dimes and quarters = $3.15.

Now, to get the number of dimes and quarters:

According to question:

0.10(2x)+0.25x=3.15

0.20x+0.25x=3.15

0.45x=3.15

<em>Dividing both sides by 0.45 we get:</em>

x=7.

<em>Thus, the number of quarters</em> = 7.

<em>So, the number of dimes</em> = 2x=2\times 7=14.

Therefore, the number of dimes is 14 and the number of quarters is 7.

see the attached figure with the letters

1) find m(x) in the interval A,B
A (0,100)  B(50,40) -------------- > p=(y2-y1(/(x2-x1)=(40-100)/(50-0)=-6/5
m=px+b---------- > 100=(-6/5)*0 +b------------- > b=100
mAB=(-6/5)x+100

2) find m(x) in the interval B,C
B(50,40)  C(100,100) -------------- > p=(y2-y1(/(x2-x1)=(100-40)/(100-50)=6/5
m=px+b---------- > 40=(6/5)*50 +b------------- > b=-20
mBC=(6/5)x-20

3) find n(x) in the interval A,B
A (0,0)  B(50,60) -------------- > p=(y2-y1(/(x2-x1)=(60)/(50)=6/5
n=px+b---------- > 0=(6/5)*0 +b------------- > b=0
nAB=(6/5)x

4) find n(x) in the interval B,C
B(50,60)  C(100,90) -------------- > p=(y2-y1(/(x2-x1)=(90-60)/(100-50)=3/5
n=px+b---------- > 60=(3/5)*50 +b------------- > b=30
nBC=(3/5)x+30

5) find h(x) = n(m(x)) in the interval A,B
mAB=(-6/5)x+100
nAB=(6/5)x
then 
n(m(x))=(6/5)*[(-6/5)x+100]=(-36/25)x+120
h(x)=(-36/25)x+120
find <span>h'(x) 
</span>h'(x)=-36/25=-1.44

6) find h(x) = n(m(x)) in the interval B,C
mBC=(6/5)x-20
nBC=(3/5)x+30
then 
n(m(x))=(3/5)*[(6/5)x-20]+30 =(18/25)x-12+30=(18/25)x+18
h(x)=(18/25)x+18
find h'(x) 
h'(x)=18/25=0.72 

for the interval (A,B) h'(x)=-1.44
for the interval (B,C) h'(x)= 0.72

<span> h'(x) = 1.44 ------------ > not exist</span>

2x(5+3x)-x find the coefficient of x
s344n2d4d5 [400]

To start, we need to distribute

multiply 2x by <em>everything</em> in the parenthesis

2x (5 + 3x) - x

2x × 5 = 10x

2x × 3x = 6x²

now we have...

10x + 6x² - x

<em>simplify </em>

<u>6x² + 9x </u>

the coefficient of x is 9!
