Answer:

227.5 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a single 10p coin weights 6.5 g

Now we want to find the weight of a bag of 10p coins, such that the net value is £3.50 (where the weight of the bag is neglected)

The value of a 10p coin is £0.10

So the first thing we need to find, is how many coins there are in the bag.

To find that, we need to find the quotient between the total value and the value of a single coin:

£3.50/£0.10 = 35

So in the bag, we have 35 coins, and each one of them weighs 6.5 grams

Then the total weight is 35 times 6.5 grams:

35*6.5 g= 227.5 grams

Find all points on the circle (x^2) + (y^2) = 676 where the slope is 5/12

Implicit defferentation

remember that dy/dx y= dy/dx

so
take derivitive of both sides
$2x+2y \space\ \frac{dy}{dx}=0$
solve for $\frac{dy}{dx}$
minus 2x both sides
$2y \space\ \frac{dy}{dx}=-2x$
divide both sides by 2y
$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{-2x}{2y}$
$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{-x}{y}$

when is the slope equal to $\frac{5}{12}$
solve for $\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{5}{12}$
$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{5}{12}$
$\frac{5}{12}=\frac{-x}{y}$
$5y=-12x$
$y=\frac{-12}{5}x$
find where the circle and this line intersects

substitute $\frac{-12}{5}x$ for y
$x^2+(\frac{-12}{5}x)^2=676$
$x^2+\frac{144}{25}x^2=676$
$\frac{25}{25}x^2+\frac{144}{25}x^2=676$
$\frac{169}{25}x^2=676$
times both sides by $\frac{25}{169}$
$x^2=100$
sqrt both sides, take positive and negative roots
x=+/-10

sub back

$y=\frac{-12}{5}x$
$y=(\frac{-12}{5})(10) \space\ or \space\ (\frac{-12}{5})(-10)$
$y=\frac{-120}{5} \space\ or \space\ \frac{120}{5}$
$y=-24 \space\ or \space\ 24$

the points are (10,-24) and (-10,24)

Find the area of the Shaded region use ,3.14. note that the top of the figure is a semicircle

Tema [17]

The area is 20.5632 cm sq.

Lets break it down:

Triangle- the area of a triangle is bh/2 (base×height÷2). If we plug in the numbers, the base is 4.8 and the height is 4.8. 4.8×4.8= 23.04÷2= 11.52

Semi circle- the area of the semi circle is pi×radius×radius. We have the diameter (4.8) so we would need to divide 4.8 by 2 to get 2.4. 2.4×2.4×3.14= 18.0864. We need to divide that by 2 because its a semi circle so 18.0864÷2= 9.0432

11.52+9.0432= 20.5632 cm sq.

hope this helps!
