Answer:

There are 65 dimes. There are 55 nickels.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of dimes

y is the number of nickels.

There are a total of 120 coins in the bag

This means that x + y = 120.

The total value of the coins is $9.25.

The dime is worth $0.10 and the nickel is worth $0.05. So

0.1x + 0.05y = 9.25

System:

x + y = 120

0.1x + 0.05y = 9.25

From the first equation:

y = 120 - x

Replacing in the second:

0.1x + 0.05y = 9.25

0.1x + 0.05(120 - x) = 9.25

0.1x + 6 - 0.05x = 9.25

0.05x = 3.25

x = \frac{3.25}{0.05}

x = 65

y = 120 - x = 120 - 65 = 55

There are 65 dimes. There are 55 nickels.

Write the equation in slope-intercept form through the point (-5, 3) and is perpendicular to the line y = 2x - 3 and graph​
xxTIMURxx [149]

Slope intercept form: y = mx + b

When a line is perpendicular to another line, its slope is the negative reciprocal to that slope.

From this information, we already know that the slope of our new line is -1/2, because -1/2 is the negative reciprocal to 2 (which is the slope of the original line).

y = -1/2x + b

Because the point (-5,3) is given, we can simply plug the x and y coordinates into our incomplete equation.

3 = -1/2(-5) + b

3=2.5 + b

b = 0.5

ANSWER: y = -1/2x + 0.5

THE GRAPH IS LINKED; RED LINE IS y=2x-3 AND BLUE LINE IS y=-1/2x + 0.5

Answer:

394.9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for a cone's surface area is A = π r ( r + √r^2 + h^2 ).

r = radius

h = height

The Pythagorean theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2, will be needed to find the height.

Plug in the values.

a(unknown)^2 + 6^2 = 15^2

A + 36 = 255

255 - 36 = 189

√189 ≈ 13.7

Surface area formula, plug in the values.

A = 3.14 × 6 ( 6 + √6^2 + 13.7^2 )

*PEMDAS*

A = 3.14 × 6 ( 6 + √36 + 187.69 )

A = 3.14 × 6 ( 6 + √223.69 )

A = 3.14 × 6 ( 6 + 14.95 )

A = 3.14 × 6 ( 20.96 )

A = 3.14 × 125.76

A = 394.8864

*round to nearest tenth*

A = 394.9 cm

Hope this helps! :)

Find f(5). f(x) = x2 + 2x A)15 B)20 C)30 D)35
inysia [295]

f(5) means to replace x in the equation with 5 then solve.

f(x) = x^2 +2x

f(5) = 5^2 + 2(5)

f(5) = 25 +10

f(5) = 35

The answer is D)35
