Answer:

8 nickels and 9 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

If all were dimes, the value would be $1.70. It is $0.40 less than that. Changing a dime for a nickel reduces the value by $0.05, so there must have been $0.40/$0.05 = 8 such changes.

There are 8 nickels and 9 dimes.

Check

8 · 0.05 + 9 · 0.10 = 0.40 + 0.90 = 1.30 . . . the answer checks OK

A house with an original value of increased in value to in years. What is the ratio of the increase in value to the original val

Anika [276]

Answer:

Ratio of the increase in value to the original value will be 1 : 5

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is incomplete; Here is the complete question.

A house with an original value to $150,000 increased in value to $180,000 in 5 years. what is the ratio of the increase in value to the original value of the house?

Original value of the house = $150000

Value of the house after 5 years = $180000

Appreciation in value of the house after 5 years = $180000 - $150000

= $30000

Now the ratio of the increase in value to the original value = $\frac{\text{Increased value}}{\text{Original value}}$

= $\frac{30000}{150000}$

= $\frac{1}{5}$ or 1 : 5

Therefore, ratio of the increase in value to the original value of the house is 1 : 5

Graph each absolute value function. State the domain, range, and y-intercept.

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

i. D:All real numbers

ii.R: $y\le-2$

iii. Y-int: $b=-2.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

$y=-\frac{1}{2} |x-1|-2$

The domain of this function are the values of x that makes the function defined.

The absolute value function is defined for all real values.

The domain is all real numbers.

ii. The range refers to the values of y for which x is defined.

$y=-\frac{1}{2} |x-1|-2$

The vertex of this function is

$(1,-2)$

The function is reflected in the x-axis.

The vertex is therefore the maximum point on the graph of the function.

The range is therefore;

$y\le-2$

Or

$(-\infty,2]$

iii. To find the y-intercept, we substitute $x=0$ into the funtion.

$y=-\frac{1}{2} |0-1|-2$

$y=-\frac{1}{2} (1)-2$

$y=-2.5$

The y-intercept is $b=-2.5$

The graph is shown in the attachment.
