Number of dimes are 18 and number of quarters are 31

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "d" be the number of dimes

Let "q" be the number of quarters

value of 1 dime = $ 0.10

value of 1 quarter = $ 0.25

A collection of dimes and quarters is worth $9.55

value of 1 dime x number of dimes + value of 1 dime x number of quarters = 9.55

0.10d + 0.25q = 9.55 ---------- eqn 1

If the quarters were dimes and the dimes were quarters, the total value would be 7.60

quarters were dimes means , q = d

dimes were quarters means d = q

0.25d + 0.10q = 7.60 ----- eqn 2

Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2 to find "d" and "q"

Multiply eqn 1 by 2.5

0.25d + 0.625q = 23.875 ---- eqn 3

Subtract eqn 2 from eqn 3

0.25d + 0.625q = 23.875

0.25d + 0.10q = 7.60

( - ) ----------------------

0.525q = 16.275

q = 31

Substitute q = 31 in eqn 1

0.10d + 0.25q = 9.55

0.10d + 0.25(31) = 9.55

0.10d + 7.75 = 9.55

0.10d = 1.8

d = 18

Thus dimes are 18 and number of quarters are 31

Write and simplify the integral that gives the arc length of the following curve on the given interval b. If necessary, use tech
LiRa [457]

Answer:

L = 4.103

Step-by-step explanation:

we have length of curve

L = \int\limits^b_a {\sqrt{(f'(x))²+1} } \, dx

where f(x) = d/dx(3*in(x)) = 3/x

substituting for f(x), we have L = \int\limits^5_2 {\sqrt{(3/x)²+1} } \, dx

(since the limit is 2≤ x ≤5)

solving,  L = \int\limits^5_2 {\sqrt{9/x²+1} } \, dx

Simplifying this integral, we have

L = 4.10321

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:Brielle will run the half marathon race faster.Brielle will take 1 hour 44 minutes and 48 seconds, Joshua will take 2 hours 37 minutes and 12 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

10 / 1.25 = 8

8 minutes a mile

18 / 1.5 = 12

12 minutes a mile

Brielle will run the half marathon race faster.

8 x 13.1 =104.8

12 x 13.1=157.2

104.8 - 60=

44.8

60 seconds x .8= 48

Brielle will take 1 hour 44 minutes and 48 seconds

157.2 - 120 = 37.2

60 seconds x .2 = 12

Joshua will take 2 hours 37 minutes and 12 seconds
