Answer:

15 Nickels, 11 Pennies

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify your life and take out the decimals

5*N + P = 86

P + 4 = N (4 more nickels than pennies)

By substitution of the second eq into the first: 5*(P+4) + P = 86

5*P + 20 + P = 86

6P = 66

P = 11, so N = 4 + 11 = 15

Answer:Ruby has 11 pennies and 15 nickels.

Step-by-step explanation:

The worth of a penny is 1 cent. Converting to dollars, it becomes

1/100 = $0.01

The worth of a nickel is 5 cents. Converting to dollars, it becomes

5/100 = $0.05

Let x represent the number of pemnies that Ruby has.

Let y represent the number of nickels that Ruby has.

She has 4 more nickels than pennies. This means that

y = x + 4

Ruby has $0.86 worth of pennies and nickels. This means that

0.01x + 0.05y = 0.86 - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting y = x + 4 into equation 1, it becomes

0.01x + 0.05(x + 4) = 0.86

0.01x + 0.05x + 0.2 = 0.86

0.06x = 0.86 - 0.2 = 0.66

x = 0.66/0.06

x = 11

y = x + 4 = 11 + 4

y = 15

State the domain and range of the following relation<br> x^2+y^2=16
Vlada [557]

The domain and range is  [-4, 4] and [0, 4]

<h3 /><h3>What is Domain and range?</h3>

The domain of a function is the set of values that we are allowed to plug into our function.

The range of a function is the set of values that the function assumes.

x² + y² = 16

y = √16 - x²

For domain under root should not be negative quantity,

16 - x²≥0

16≥x²

So, x≤4 or x≥4

Thus, the domain is  [-4, 4]

Range:

y is maximum at x=0, y=4

y is minimum at x=4, y=0

Thus, range = [0, 4]

I need help ASAP on this algebra question
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

As x goes to negative infinity, g(x) goes to zero.

As x goes to positive infinity, g(x) goes to zero.

(So the answer is the second option)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the function g(x)=\frac{1}{x^2}

First, let's look at what happens when we input smaller and smaller numbers

g(-10)=\frac{1}{100} \\\\g(-100)=\frac{1}{10000}

As we can see, as we input smaller and smaller numbers, the answer gets smaller.

Eventually, these fractions will be so small that they will get closer and closer to zero.

This same thing applies to larger and larger numbers, so the end behavior of each side will both be zero.

The sum of 2 times a number and 8 is 7
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

The number is -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number

2x+8 = 7

Subtract 8 from each side

2x+8-8 = 7-8

2x = -1

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 =-1/2

x = -1/2

The number is -1/2
