Answer:

$7.14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p, d, q represent the numbers of pennies, dimes, and quarters in the collection, respectively.

p + d + q = 45 . . . . . . . . there are 45 coins in the collection

2p +5 = q . . . . . . . . . . . . 5 more than twice the number of pennies

p + 4 = d . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 more than the number of pennies

Substituting the last two equations into the first gives ...

p +(p +4) +(2p +5) = 45

4p = 36 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 9

p = 9 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

d = 9 +4 = 13

q = 2(9) +5 = 23

The value of the collection is ...

23(0.25) +13(0.10) +9(0.01) = 5.75 +1.30 +0.09 = 7.14

The coin collection is worth $7.14.

What is the difference between the mean and the median of the data set?

Pepsi [2]

As you probably know there is a difference between mean and median -- the mean acts as a measure of the average, and on the other hand median measures the middle number. The median in this is 15 and the mean is also 15.

Given the function: f(x) = 2x3 - 3/2x, find f(-4).

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

D) -122

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$f(x) = 2x^3-\frac{3}2x$

We need to find f(-4).

Now by substituting the value of x =-4 in above equation we get;

$f(-4)= 2\times(-4)^3-\frac{3}{2}\times(-4)\\$

By using PEDMAS we will solve for exponential function first we get;

Now we know that $(-4)^3=-64$

So we get;

$f(-4)= 2\times(-64)-\frac{3}{2}\times(-4)\\$

Now using PEDMAS we will solve division.

$f(-4)= 2\times(-64)-1.5\times(-4)$

Now using PEDMAS we solve multiplication.

$f(-4)= -128+6$

Finally by subtraction we get;

$f(-4)= -122$
