Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is 5 because the equation is y = 200-5x where 5 is the slope because it is the rate of change.
The first equation is 
(Equation 1)
The second equation is 
(Equation 2)
Putting the value of x from equation 1 in equation 2.
we get,
by simplifying the given equation,
Using discriminant formula,
Now the formula for solution 'x' of quadratic equation is given by:
Hence, these are the required solutions.
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:
3 x^2 - x + -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the following:
-(4 x - 2 x^2 - 3) + x^2 + 3 x - 4
Factor -1 out of -2 x^2 + 4 x - 3:
--(2 x^2 - 4 x + 3) + x^2 + 3 x - 4
(-1)^2 = 1:
2 x^2 - 4 x + 3 + x^2 + 3 x - 4
Grouping like terms, 2 x^2 + x^2 + 3 x - 4 x - 4 + 3 = (x^2 + 2 x^2) + (3 x - 4 x) + (-4 + 3):
(x^2 + 2 x^2) + (3 x - 4 x) + (-4 + 3)
x^2 + 2 x^2 = 3 x^2:
3 x^2 + (3 x - 4 x) + (-4 + 3)
3 x - 4 x = -x:
3 x^2 + -x + (-4 + 3)
3 - 4 = -1:
Answer: 3 x^2 - x + -1
