On a trip from the United States to Canada, Isabella took d U.S. dollars. At the border she exchanged them all, receiving 10 Can

adian dollars for every 7 U.S. dollars. After spending 60 Canadian dollars, she had d Canadian dollars left. What is the sum of the digits of d?

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

The exchange rate is 10 CAD = 7 USD

Which means:

10/7 CAD for EACH USD

So, d USD would be:

d * 10/7 = (10d)/7 CAD

This is what she has now, after exchange (in CAD).

She spends 60 and has "d" left, so finding d:

$\frac{10d}{7}-60=d\\\frac{10d-420}{7}=d\\10d-420=7d\\3d=420\\d=\frac{420}{3}\\d=140$

Hence, d = 140

The digits of d are 1, 4, and 0

The sum is:

1 + 4 + 0 = 5

The sum is 5

Find the value of i77.<br> A) 1 <br> B) i <br> C) −1 <br> D) −i

Colt1911 [192]

assuming you mean $i^{77}$ where $i=\sqrt{-1}$

ok, notice a pattern in the exponent

$i^1=i=\sqrt{-1}$

$i^2=-1$

$i^3=-\sqrt{-1}=-i$

$i^4=1$

$i^5=i=\sqrt{-1}$

hum, so it goes 1,2,3,4, then repeats

ok, so every 4, the cycle repeats

how far up is 77 from a multipule of 4?

4*19=76

76 is 1 away from 77

so $i^{77}=(i^{76})(i^1)=$

$(i^4)^{19}(i)=(1)^{19}i=i$

the answer is B

Select the point that is a solution to the system of inequalities

ExtremeBDS [4]

<h3>Answer: B. (-1, 0)</h3>

This point is below both the red diagonal line and the blue parabola. We know that the set of solution points is below both due to the "less than" parts of each inequality sign.

In contrast, a point like (2,2) is above the parabola which is why it is not a solution. It does not make the inequality $y \le x^2-3x$ true. So this is why we can rule choice A out.

Choice C is not a solution because (4,1) does not make $y \le -x+3$ true. This point is not below the red diagonal line. We can cross choice C off the list.

Choice D is similar to choice A, which is why we can rule it out as well.

Two pipes can fill a tank in 19 minutes if both are turned on. If only one is used, it would take 49 minutes longer for the smal

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The time taken by smaller pipe to fill the tank alone is 74.2 min

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The time taken by two pipes to fill tank = 19 min

Let the time taken by larger pipe to fill tank = y

And the time taken by smaller pipe to fill tank = x

According to question

The smaller pipe takes 49 minutes longer than larger pipe

I.e x = y + 49

Now,

$\dfrac{1}{x}$ + $\dfrac{1}{y}$ = $\dfrac{1}{49}$

Or, $\dfrac{1}{y + 49}$ + $\dfrac{1}{y}$ = $\dfrac{1}{49}$

Or, $\dfrac{y + 49 + y}{y^{2} + 49 y }$ = $\dfrac{1}{49}$

Or, 2 y + 49 = $\dfrac{y^{2}+49y }{19}$

Or, 19 × ( 2 y + 49 ) = y² + 49 y

Or, 38 y + 931 = y² + 49 y

Or, y² + 49 y - 38 y - 931 = 0

or, y² + 11 y - 931 = 0

Or, Applying quadratic equation method to calculate the value of y

so, y = $\frac{- b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4\times a\times c}}{2\times a}$

Or, y = $\frac{- 11 \pm \sqrt{11^{2}-4\times 1\times (-931)}}{2\times 1}$

Or, y = $\frac{- 1 \pm \sqrt{121+3724}}{2}$

or, y = $\frac{- 1 \pm \sqrt{3845}}{2}$

or, y = $\frac{- 1 \pm 62.008}{2}$

∴ y = 25.2 , - 36.5

So, The time taken by larger pipe = y = 25.2 min

and the time taken by smaller pipe to fill the tank = y + 49 = 25.2 + 49 = 74.2 min

Hence The time taken by smaller pipe to fill the tank alone is 74.2 min answer

Which of the following ordered pairs could represent the y-intercept of a function.

snow_lady [41]

<h3>Answer: (0,5)</h3>

This is because the x coordinate is 0. For any y intercept, the x coordinate is always 0 as this indicates the point is on the y axis.

Contrast this with something like (9,0) and we see that y = 0 indicating this point is an x intercept (it is on the x axis).
