Let n = number of nickels, and p = number of pennies.
The number of coins is 25, so we get this equation.
n + p = 25

The value of the coins is 0.05 per nickel, and 0.01 per penny.
0.05n + 0.01p = 0.73

Now you have a system of equations.

n + p = 25
0.05n + 0.01p = 0.73

Solve the first equation for n:
n = 25 - p

Now substitute into the second equation.

0.05(25 - p) + 0.01p = 0.73

1.25 - 0.05p + 0.01p = 0.73

-0.04p = -0.52

p = 13

There were 13 pennies.
Now we substitute 13 for p in n + p = 25 to find out the number of nickels.

n + 13 = 25
n = 12

There are 13 pennies and 12 nickels.

Check: 13 pennies and 12 nickels does total 25 coins.
13 * 0.01 + 12 * 0.05 = 0.13 + 0.60 = 0.73
The value is $0.73.
Our answer is correct.

(1+cos2x)/(1-cos2x) = cot^2x
sesenic [268]

We will turn the left side into the right side.

\dfrac{1 + \cos 2x}{1 - \cos2x} = \cot^2 x

Use the identity:

\cos 2x = \cos^2 x - \sin^2 x

\dfrac{1 + \cos^2 x - \sin^2 x}{1 - ( \cos^2 x - \sin^2 x)} = \cot^2 x

\dfrac{1 - \sin^2 x + \cos^2 x }{1 - \cos^2 x + \sin^2 x} = \cot^2 x

Now use the identity

\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x = 1 solved for sin^2 x and for cos^2 x.

\dfrac{\cos^2 x + \cos^2 x }{\sin^2 x + \sin^2 x} = \cot^2 x

\dfrac{2\cos^2 x}{2\sin^2 x} = \cot^2 x

\dfrac{\cos^2 x}{\sin^2 x} = \cot^2 x

\cot^2 x = \cot^2 x

Solve: A = 4pir2 for r.
Airida [17]
 <span>r means radius so it can't be negative. 

<=> 

A = 4 pi r² 

r = sqr (A / 4pi)

g Suppose you are rasterizing a triangle with vertices (1, 1), (5, 1), and (2, 9), and the intensity values (e.g., redness) of t
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

6.333

Step-by-step explanation:

Our triangle vertices are

(1,1)(5,1)(2,9)

We are to perform interpolation at point(3,5)

x and y values are interpolated

On vertices (5,1)(2,9)

x = 3

x1 = 5

X2 = 2

Y1 = 1

Y2 = 9

Formula for interpolation

Y = [y1+(x-x1)(y2-y1)]/x2-x

Y = 1+(3-5)(9-1)/2-5

Y = 1+[-2*8/-3]

Y = 1+16/3

From here we use use LCM to get:

19/3 = 6.333
