Answer:

The possible coins are:

P = penny = $0.01

N = nickel = $0.05

D = dime = $0.10

Q = quarter = $0.25

H = half dollar = $0.50

We know that Adam has 3 coins in his pocket, and all of them are different, then the money that Adam has can be represented with (A + B + C)

Behn has 3 coins, and all of them are the same, then if his coin has a value X, he has a total of 3*X

We know that Adam has half as much money as Ben, this can be written as:

(A + B + C) = 3*X/2

The easier way to solve this, is to play with different values of X, and see if we can find the values of A, B and C.

For example, if X = $0.10

then:

(A + B + C) = $0.10*(3/2) = $0.15

We can find 3 different value of coins for this equation? No, we cant, so X = $0.10 is also discarded.

if x = $0.50 then:

(A + B + C) = (3/2)*$0.50 = $0.75

Here we could have:

A = $0.50

B = $0.25

then: A + B = $0.75

But we still have the coin C.

If we take X = $0.25 then:

(A + B + C) = (3/2)*$0.25 = $0.375

We could round the right part to $0.40

then the coins in the left part would be:

A = $0.25

B = $0.10

C = $0.05

A + B + C =  $0.25 + $0.10 +  $0.05 = $0.40

This is a strech, but is the only thing we can make with the given problem.

A triangle has two sides of length 2 and 18. What is the largest possible whole-number length for the third side?
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

19

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2 sides of a triangle then the third side x is

difference of 2 sides < x < sum of 2 sides , that is

18 - 2 < x < 18 + 2

16 < x < 20

Then the largest possible length of the third side is 19

Can someone help pleaseeeeeee
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

The parabolas equation is

(y - k)^2 = 4p(x - h)

Where h,k is the vertex

Substituting the vertex ad (2,-4)

(y - -4)^2 = 4p(x - 2)

(y +4)^2 = 4p(x - 2)

We need to find p from the other point they give us (-3,-3)

(-3 +4)^2 = 4p(-3 - 2)

1^2 = 4p (-5)

1 = -20p

Divide by -20

1/-20 = -20p/-20

-1/20 = p

Substituting back into the equation

(y +4)^2 = 4(-1/20)(x - 2)

Simplifying

(y +4)^2 = (-1/5)(x - 2)

FOILing

y^2 +8y +16 = -1/5x +2/5

Multiply by 5

5y^2 +40y +80 = -x +2

Subtract 2

5y^2 +40y +80-2 = -x +2-2

5y^2 +40y +78 = -x

Multiply by -1

-5y^2 -40y -78 = x

The coefficient of y^2  is -5
