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.

Answer:

Area of circle R = 75π un² or ≈235.5 un²

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem says that m∠TRS = 120º. The total number of degrees in a circle is 360º. 120º is a third of 360º. Therefore, we can prove that the shaded sector is a third of the circle.

The problem then says that the area of the shaded sector is 25π and we have to calculate the area of the entire circle. Since we already know that the shaded sector is a third of the circle, we can simply multiply 25π by 3 in order to calculate the area of t he entire circle.

25π × 3 = 75π.

Area of circle R = 75π un² or ≈235.5 un²

1. How can you tell that a point on the graph is a maximum or minimum?
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

1) To see whether it is a maximum or a minimum, in this case we can simply look at the graph. f(x) is a parabola, and we can see that the turning point is a minimum. By finding the value of x where the derivative is 0, then, we have discovered that the vertex of the parabola is at (3, −4).

Identifying a constant of variation question<br><br> R= ?
jek_recluse [69]
Pressure and Volume are inversely related as:

P= \frac{R}{V}

We can also write it as:

PV=R

R is the constant of proportionality. Using the first row of given table, we can write:

2(4.155)=R \\  \\ &#10;R=8.31

Thus, the value of R, the universal gas constant is 8.31

What is the slope of a line in hat is parallel to the following: y = 3x - 4
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The slope is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines always have the same slopes. This equation is in slope-intercept form, y=mx+b, m being the slope. Our m, or the slope, is 3, and because the line is parallel, it also has a slope of 3.
