Answer:

She has 9 5 cent stamps and 6 7 cent stamps.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of five cent stamps be represented by F and the number of seven cent stamps be represented by S.

The difference between the number of five cent and seven cent stamps is 3

F-S=3

The sum of the collection from each type of stamp is 87 cents

5F+7S=87

Let us solve the equations simultaneously.

F-S=3

5F+7S=87

Using substitution method,

F= 3+S

5(3+S)+7S=87

15+5S+7S=87

12S=87-15

12S=72

S=6

F=3+S

=3+6=9

Therefore the number of five cent stamps is 9 and seven cent stamps is 6.

<u>Answer:</u>

Number of 5 cent stamps = 9

Number of 7 cent stamps = 6

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given that Bianca has a stamp collection of 5 cent stamps and 7 cent stamps in which there are 3 less 7 cent stamps as 5 cent stamps.

If the total face value of stamps is 87 cents, we are to find the number of stamps of each value.

Assuming t to be the number of 5 cent stamps and s to be the 7 cent stamps so we can write it as:

0.05t+0.07s=0.87 --- (1)

s=t-3 --- (2)

Substituting this value of s from (2) in (1):

0.05t+0.07(t-3)=0.87

0.05s+0.07t-0.21=0.87

0.12t=1.08

t=9

Number of 5 cent stamps = 9

Number of 7 cent stamps = 9 - 3 = 6

Write an equation for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence. Then find a10.
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

AP: 10, 0, -10, -20...

a = 10, d = -10

nth term of the AP = a + (n-1)d

= 10+ (n-1)-10

= 10 - 10n + 10

= 20 - 10n

a10 = 20-10(10)

= 20 - 100

= -80

Hope this helps!

Answer:

B. 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

Well you see that VUY is 40° and that is you were to flip that over into the VUW angle, it will be twice the size of 40°. I'm not saying its addition, but this is my opinion.

Use the given data to find the equation of the regression line. Round the final values to three significant digits, if necessary
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

The answer is "choice c".

Step-by-step explanation:

Below, we shall find the line equation, dissociation for both the management's behavior and achievement.

Here, attitudes are the response variable while performance seems to be the predictor as attitude is achievement dependant.

If Y indicates the attitude while X relates to workers' performance.

Let's describe the data like:

y=a+bx+e

Now we get the estimates of e via the least quadratic method, – i.e., by reducing the number of segments.

S=\sum e_{i}^{2}=\sum {(y_{i}-a-bx_{i})^{2}}

minimize S to obtain the estimates of a and b as:

\hat{b}=\frac{\sum{(y_{i}-\bar{y})(x_{i}-\bar{x})}}{\sum{(x_{i}-\bar{x})^{2}}}\\\\\hat{a}=\bar{y}-\hat{b}\bar{x}

So,

a=11.7b=1.02

Equation:

Y=11.7+1.02x

If dy/dx = x(y-1), find the equation of the tangent line at x=-2 with f(-2)=3
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

The equation of the tangent line passing through the point (-2,3) is

 4 x + y +5 =0

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>

<em>Given that the slope of the tangent</em>

<em>              </em>m = \frac{dy}{dx} = x(y-1)<em></em>

<em>              m = -2( 3-1) = -4</em>

<em>Given point x = -2</em>

<em>          y = f(-2) =3</em>

<em>∴The given point ( x₁ , y₁) = ( -2 ,3)</em>

<u><em>Step(ii):-</em></u>

The equation of the tangent line passing through the point (-2,3)

y - y_{1} = m(x-x_{1} )

y -3 = -4(x-(-2))

y -3 = -4( x+2)

y-3 = -4x -8

4x + y -3+8=0

4x +y +5=0

<u><em>Step(iii):-</em></u>

<em>The equation of the tangent line passing through the point (-2,3) is</em>

<em>   4 x + y +5 =0</em>

<em></em>
