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

What is the center of the ellipse x2+5y2–45=0?

jeka94

Answer:

Center is at (0,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation of ellipse in standard form is:

$\displaystyle{\dfrac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}+\dfrac{(y-k)^2}{b^2} = 1$

Where center is at point (h,k)

From the equation of $\displaystyle{x^2+5y^2-45=0}$ . First, we add 45 both sides:

$\displaystyle{x^2+5y^2-45+45=0+45}\\\\\displaystyle{x^2+5y^2=45}$

Convert into the standard form with RHS (Right-Hand Side) equal to 1 by dividing both sides by 45:

$\displaystyle{\dfrac{x^2}{45}+\dfrac{5y^2}{45}=\dfrac{45}{45}}\\\\\displaystyle{\dfrac{x^2}{45}+\dfrac{y^2}{9}=1}$

Therefore, the center of ellipse is at (0,0) since there are no values of h and k.
