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.

Find the slope and the y-intercept of the following graph
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The slope of the graph is 5, and the y-intercept is (0, -3).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by finding the y-intercept.

The y-intercept is the point where the line intercepts the y-axis.

Looking at the graph, we can determine that the y-intercept is (0, -3).

The slope of a graph can be found using two points on the line.

Let's use (0, -3) and (1, 2):

Slope=\frac{Rise}{Run}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{2-(-3)}{1-0}=\frac{5}{1}=5

Therefore the slope of the graph is 5, and the y-intercept is (0, -3).

If the composition of two functions is:
mina [271]

You are correct! The problems that can arise with a function domain are:

  • Denominators that become zero
  • Even-degree roots with negative input
  • Logarithms with negative or zero input

In this case, you have a denominator, and you don't have roots nor logarithms. This means that your only concern must be the denominator, specifically, it cannot be zero.

And you simply have

x-3\neq 0 \iff x \neq 3

So, the domain of this function includes every number except 3.
