Answer:

There are 8 dimes there.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved used a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of nickels.

y is the number of dimes.

19 coins

This means that x + y = 19.

A nickel is worth $0.05. A dime is worth $0.1. The total of these coins is $1.35. So

0.05x + 0.1y = 1.35

How many dimes are there?

We have to find y.

From the first equation: x = 19 - y.

Replacing in the second:

0.05(19 - y) + 0.1y = 1.35

0.95 - 0.05y + 0.1y = 1.35

0.05y = 0.4

y = 0.4/0.05

y = 8

There are 8 dimes there.

In Bluepoint, the average low temperature for January was 40 °F. The average low in February was 27% lower. What was the average
yarga [219]

The average low temperature for January was 40 °F - 100%.

The average low in February was x °F - 27% lower, that is 100%-27%=73%.

Write a proportion:

\dfrac{40}{x}=\dfrac{100}{73},\\ \\x=\dfrac{73\cdot 40}{100},\\\\x=29.2

Answer: the average low in February was 29.2 °F.

The graph represents the function f(x) = 10(2)^x.
Bond [772]

General Idea:

The exponential function will be of the formy=a(b)^x.

When b>1, the function indicates the exponential growth.

When 0<b<1, the function indicates the exponential decay.

Applying the concept:

We are given the graph of y=10(2)^x, here b = 2.

The question ask the characteristic of the function when b is in the interval 1. The attached figure shows few graphs of exponential function whose b value is less than 2 and greater than 1. We can notice that graph increases at slower rate, that is change in y with respect to change in x is getting slower as we reduce the values of b less than 2 and greater than 1.

Conclusion:

"The graph will increase at a slower rate"
