Answer:

Rebecca has 18 nickels and 27 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of nickels Rebecca has, then 45-x is the number of dimes she has.

The total value of Rebecca's coins is $3.60.

1 nickel - 5 cents

x nickels - 5x cents

1 dime - 10 cents

45-x dimes - 10(45-x) cents

Total x nickels and 45-x dimes is 5x+10(45-x) cents that is $3.60=360 cents. So,

5x+10(45-x)=360

5x+450-10x=360

5x-10x=360-450

-5x=-90

5x=90

x=18

45-x=45-18=27

The right system of equations to describe the situation would be on the form:

x1 = 8000 + y1*t

and

x2 = 8000 + y2*t

where x1 and x2 represents the total money of Imogene and her friend respectively at the end of t years.

Now for the value of amount earned, y1 and y2:

y1=8000*0.08

y2=2000*√(t-2)

Answer:

f[g(4)] = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given table:

$\begin{array}{| c | c | c | c | c | c |}\cline{1-6} x & -6 & -4 & 1 & 3 & 4\\\cline{1-6} f(x) & 4 & -1 & -6 & 1 & 3 \\\cline{1-6} g(x) & 1 & 4 & 3 & -4 & -6 \\\cline{1-6}\end{array}$

f[g(4)] is a composite function.

When calculating <u>composite functions</u>, always work from inside the brackets out.

Begin with g(4): g(4) is the value of function g(x) when x = 4.

From inspection of the given table, g(4) = -6

Therefore, f[g(4)] = f(-6)

f(-6) is the value of function f(x) when x = -6.

From inspection of the given table, f(-6) = 4

Therefore, f[g(4)] = 4
