Answer:

  • 25 dimes
  • 56 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d represent the number of dimes. Then 81-d is the number of nickels and the total value in cents is ...

  10d +5(81-d) = 530

  5d +405 = 530 . . . eliminate parentheses

  d +81 = 106 . . . . . divide by 5

  d = 25 . . . . . . . . . subtract 81; number of dimes

  81 -d = 81 -25 = 56 . . . . . number of nickels

There are 25 dimes and 56 nickels in the box.

<em>Comment on the method of solution</em>

It usually works well to let the variable represent the amount of the highest-value contributor (dimes). This keeps the numbers positive as the solution progresses.

A sinusoidal function whose period is 4π, maximum value is 6, and minimum value is -2 has a y intercept of 6. What is the equati
IRINA_888 [86]

Equation of the function: f(x) = 4 sin (x/2) + 6.

<h3>What is sinusoidal function ?</h3>

The term sinusoidal is used to describe a curve, referred to as a sine wave or a sinusoid, that exhibits smooth, periodic oscillation. It is named based on the function y=sin(x).

Given: max value= 6, min value= -2, y-intercept= 6.

As, standard form f(x) = A sin (ωx +φ) + k,

where A is the amplitude, ω is the angular velocity with ω=2πf.

Now,

A = |6- (-2)/2|

A = |6 +2/2| = 8/2

A = 4

Also, ω:

The period of a sinusoidal is T = 1/f

so, f = 1 / T

ω = 2πf

ω = 2π ( 1/T) with T = 4π

ω = 2π (1/(4π) = 2π (2)

ω = 1/2

The y-intercept k = 6

So, equation with values A =4, ω = 1/2, k = 6, φ = 0.

f(x) = A f(x)

f(x) = A sin (ωx +φ) + k

f(x) = 4 sin (x/2) + 6.

Hence, equation of the function f(x) = 4 sin (x/2) + 6.

Well, on every test I have at a school and I believe most schools do this. You need at leasr 80% to pass. But to pass you'd most likely need 80% or 70%. But if you get an 80% you'll be sure to pass! I hope this helps you!
