Answer:

there are 9 quarters and 19 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of dimes and y the number of quarters

-dimes: 0.1x

-quarters: 0.25y

-the total amount of coins : x + y = 28

=> x = 28 - y

We have the equation:

0.25y + 0.1x = 4.15

0.25y + 0.1(28 - y) = 4.15

0.25y + 2.8 - 0.1y = 4.15

0.15y = 1.35

y = 9

x = 28 - y

= 28 - 9

= 19

Which statement is true about the domain of y = 3(2^-x)? Explain.

SVEN [57.7K]

We want to determine the domain of ${y=3 \cdot 2^{-x}=3 \cdot ({2^{-1}})^x=3 \cdot ({ \frac{1}{2}})^x$

any function of the form $y=f(x)=a \cdot b^x$ is called an "exponential function",
the only condition is that b is positive and different from 1, and a is a nonzero real number.

The domain of such functions is all real numbers.

That is for any x, the expression 3(2^-x) "makes sense".

Answer: The domain is all real numbers
