Answer: a) An = An-1 + An-2

b) 55ways

Step-by-step explanation:

a) a nickel is 5 cents and a dime is 10cent so a multiple of 5 cents is the possible way to pay the tolls in both choices.

Let An represents the number of possible ways the driver can pay a toll of 5n cents, so that

An = 5n cents

Case 1: Using a nickel for payment which is 5 cents, the number of ways given as;

An-1 = 5( n-1)

Case 2: using a dime which is two 5 cents, the number of ways is given as;

An-2 = 5(n-2)

Summing up the number of ways, we have

An = An-1 + An-2

From the relation,

If n= 0, Ao= 1

n =1, A1= 1

b) 45 cents paid in multiples of 5cents will give us 9 ways(A9)

From the relation, we have that

Ao = 1

A1 = 1

An =An-1 + An-2

Ao = 1

A1 = 1

A2 = A1+Ao = 1+1= 2

A3 = A2 + A1 = 3

A4 = A3+A2=5

A5=A4+A3=8

A6=A5+A4=13

A7 =A6+A5 = 21

A8= A7+A6= 34

A9= A8+A7= 55

So there are 55ways to pay 45cents.

Answer:

(b) -m, m + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

x² − 3x − m(m + 3) = 0

x² − 3x = m(m + 3)

x² − 3x + 9/4 = m(m + 3) + 9/4

(x − 3/2)² = m(m + 3) + 9/4

(x − 3/2)² = m² + 3m + 9/4

(x − 3/2)² = (m + 3/2)²

x − 3/2 = ±(m + 3/2)

x − 3/2 = m + 3/2, -m − 3/2

x = m + 3, -m

5х2-7x-6=0 <br><br> factored form
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

(x - 2)(5x + 3) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

5x² - 7x - 6 = 0

Consider the factors of the product of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 5 × - 6 = - 30 and sum = - 7

The factors are - 10 and + 3

Use these factors to split the x- term

5x² - 10x + 3x - 6 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

5x(x - 2) + 3(x - 2) = 0 ← factor out (x - 2) from each term

(x - 2)(5x - 3) = 0 ← in factored form

X=3

X/-3 = -1 ,Leave X by itself so multiply by -3 on both sides.

X = -1*-3

X = 3, negative times negative equals positive.
