Answer:

10 quarters, 23 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Make dimes = d and quarters = q. Let the number of dimes and quarters add up to 33 and the value of the dimes and quarters add up to 4.80. The system of equations should look like:

  • d + q = 33
  • 0.10d + 0.25q = 4.80

Solve for d in the first equation. Subtract q from both sides.

d = 33 - q

Substitute d into the second equation.

0.10(33 - q) + 0.25q = 4.80

Distribute 0.10 inside the parentheses.

3.3 - 0.10q + 0.25q = 4.80

Combine like terms.

3.3 + 0.15q = 4.80

Subtract 3.3 from both sides.

0.15q = 1.5

Divide both sides by 0.15.

q = 10

Substitute this value of q into where we solved for d (d = 33 - q).

d = 33 - (10)

d = 23

Use long division to find the quotient​ Q(x) and the remainder​ R(x) when​ P(x) is divided by​ d(x) and express​ P(x) in the for
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

P(x)=(x+9)(x^2-7x+52)+3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

P(x)=x^3+2x^2-11x+471

d(x)=x+9

We have to find the value of Q(x) and Remainder R(x).

Quotient, Q(x)=x^2-7x+52

Remainder,R(x)=3

We know that

Dividend=Divisor\times Quotient+Remainder

P(x)=(x+9)(x^2-7x+52)+3

A simple random sample of size nequals10 is obtained from a population with muequals68 and sigmaequals15. ​(a) What must be true
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

(a) The distribution of the sample mean (\bar x) is <em>N</em> (68, 4.74²).

(b) The value of P(\bar X is 0.7642.

(c) The value of P(\bar X\geq 69.1) is 0.3670.

Step-by-step explanation:

A random sample of size <em>n</em> = 10 is selected from a population.

Let the population be made up of the random variable <em>X</em>.

The mean and standard deviation of <em>X</em> are:

\mu=68\\\sigma=15

(a)

According to the Central Limit Theorem if we have a population with mean <em>μ</em> and standard deviation <em>σ</em> and we take appropriately huge random samples (<em>n</em> ≥ 30) from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample mean will be approximately normally distributed.

Since the sample selected is not large, i.e. <em>n</em> = 10 < 30, for the distribution of the sample mean will be approximately normally distributed, the population from which the sample is selected must be normally distributed.

Then, the mean of the distribution of the sample mean is given by,

\mu_{\bar x}=\mu=68

And the standard deviation of the distribution of the sample mean is given by,

\sigma_{\bar x}=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\frac{15}{\sqrt{10}}=4.74

Thus, the distribution of the sample mean (\bar x) is <em>N</em> (68, 4.74²).

(b)

Compute the value of P(\bar X as follows:

P(\bar X

                    =P(Z

*Use a <em>z</em>-table for the probability.

Thus, the value of P(\bar X is 0.7642.

(c)

Compute the value of P(\bar X\geq 69.1) as follows:

Apply continuity correction as follows:

P(\bar X\geq 69.1)=P(\bar X> 69.1+0.5)

                    =P(\bar X>69.6)

                    =P(\frac{\bar X-\mu_{\bar x}}{\sigma_{\bar x}}>\frac{69.6-68}{4.74})

                    =P(Z>0.34)\\=1-P(Z

Thus, the value of P(\bar X\geq 69.1) is 0.3670.

An automotive repair center charges $45 for any part of the first hour of labor, and $25 for any part of each additional hour. W
IceJOKER [234]
The total cost is given by the equation:
C(t) = 45 + 25(h-1) where h is the number of hours worked.

We can check for each option in turn:

Option A:

Inequality 5 < x ≤ 6 means the hour is between 5 hours (not inclusive) to 6 hours (inclusive)
Let's take the number of hours = 5
C(5) = 45 + (5-1)×25 = 145
Let's take the number of hours = 6
Then substitute into C(6) = 45 + (6-1)×25 = 170
We can't take 145 because the value '5' was not inclusive.


Option B:
The inequality is 6 < x ≤ 7
We take number of hours = 6
C(6) = 25(6-1) + 45 = 170
We take number of hours = 7
Then C(7) = 25(7-1) + 45 = 195

Option C:
The inequality is 5 < x ≤ 6
Take the number of hours = 5
C(5) = 25(5-1) + 45 = 145
Take the number of hours = 6
C(6) = 25(6-1) + 45 = 170
We can't take the value 145 as '5' was not inclusive in the range, but we can take 170

Option D:
6 < x ≤ 7
25(6-1) + 45 < C(t) ≤ 25(7-1) + 45
170 < C(t) ≤ 195

Correct answer: C

Find the co-ordinate of the image of the point A (3, -2) when it is reflected on the line x=0 and then rotated about origin thro
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rotations are easy when its multiples of 90 degrees; 90,180,270,360. Treat them like they’re a complex number like [x+yi]*i=[-y,xi] so rotating by 90 degrees and 180 is i squared [-1]! So [-3,2] rot90 is [-2,-3].

Reflection about the y=x line is change places. [x.y]=[y,x].

So [-2.-3] reflected about the y=x line is [-2.-3]=[-3.-2],

Compile a list of these transform is best practice technique in this area.
