The question is incomplete:

James has dimes and quarters saved up in his change jar. He has a total of 162 coins totaling $31.20 what is the total amount james has in quarters?

a. $10.00

b. $6.20

c.$15.50

d.$25.00

Answer:

d.$25.00

Step-by-step explanation:

With the information provided, you can write the following equations given that dimes are equal to 0.10 and quarters to 0.25 to determine the number of dimes and quarters that James has:

x+y=162 (1)

0.10x+0.25y=31.20 (2), where:

x is the number of dimes

y is the number of quarters

First, you can solve for x in (1):

x=162-y (3)

Then, you have to replace (3) in (2) and solve for y:

0.10(162-y)+0.25y=31.20

16.2-0.10y+0.25y=31.20

0.15y=31.20-16.2

0.15y=15

y=15/0.15

y=100

Finally, you have to replace the value of y in (3) to find x:

x=162-100

x=62

Now, you know that James has 100 quarters and you can multiply this number for the value of a quarter to find the amount James has in quarters:

100*0.25=25

According to this, the answer is that James has $25 in quarters.

Integration Property [Multiplied Constant]: $\displaystyle \int {cf(x)} \, dx = c \int {f(x)} \, dx$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

Point (0, 18)

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{1}{8} t$

Step 2: Find General Solution

Use integration

[Derivative] Rewrite: $\displaystyle dy = \frac{1}{8} t\ dt$
[Equality Property] Integrate both sides: $\displaystyle \int dy = \int {\frac{1}{8} t} \, dt$
[Left Integral] Integrate [Integration Rule - Reverse Power Rule]: $\displaystyle y = \int {\frac{1}{8} t} \, dt$
[Right Integral] Rewrite [Integration Property - Multiplied Constant]: $\displaystyle y = \frac{1}{8}\int {t} \, dt$
[Right Integral] Integrate [Integration Rule - Reverse Power Rule]: $\displaystyle y = \frac{1}{8}(\frac{t^2}{2}) + C$
Multiply: $\displaystyle y = \frac{t^2}{16} + C$

Step 3: Find Particular Solution

Substitute in point [Function]: $\displaystyle 18 = \frac{0^2}{16} + C$
Simplify: $\displaystyle 18 = 0 + C$
Add: $\displaystyle 18 = C$
Rewrite: $\displaystyle C = 18$
Substitute in C [Function]: $\displaystyle y = \frac{t^2}{16} + 18$

After diving 86 feet below the surface, a diver ascends at 4 feet per minute. After 12 minutes pass, where is the diver located

Gemiola [76]

One possible way:
-86+(4*12)=-38
-86 is the number where the diver is. 86 feet below the surface.
4*12 is the total number of feet he has ascended in 12 minutes.
Because he is ascending, so you add 4*12 (or 48) to -86.
The answer is -38, meaning he's 38 feet below the surface.

The diver is now 38 feet below the surface.

Hope this helps.

Example 2:

Montano1993 [528]

Taking this example into account, we can see that setting the first value equal to 1, we obtain that $F(x)=0.5x+1=4$ and $x=6$ . Using this information, we find that $F(x+1)=0.5(x+1)+1=0.5(6+1)+1=4.5$ . It shows that when x is positive, the succussive terms are increasing.

Referring to that finding, if we set initial value less than zero, which means that we are solving 0.5x+1<0 and taking a number in the interval of the solution, which means x ∈ (- ∞, -20). Setting x=-19, we find that $F(x)=0.5x+1=-19$ and x=-40. In the next iteration, $F(x+1)=0.5(x+1)+1=0.5(1-40)+1=-18.5$ . In the next iteration, $F(x+2)=0.5(x+2)+1=0.5(2-40)+1=-18$ . By this way, we find that even if the initial value is less than zero, value of the successive iterations is increasing.

Using the function $g(x)=-x+2$ and taking the initial value equal to 4, we find that $g(x)=-x+2=4$ and x=-2. In the next iteration, $g(x+1)=-(x+1)+2=-(-2+1)+2=3$ . If we continue the iterations we'll see that they are decreasing.
Setting the initial value equal to 2, we find that $g(x)=-x+2=2$ and x=0. The next iteration is $g(x+1)=-(x+1)+2=1$ . In this case, the interations are also decreasing.
If we set the initial value equal to 1, we find that $g(x)=-x+2=1$ and x=1. In the next iteration, $g(x+1)=-(x+1)+2=0$ and the iterations are decreasing.

Answer:

Probability distribution for x:

$P(x=0)=0.3644\\\\P(x=1)=0.4373\\\\P(x=2)=0.1749\\\\P(x=3)=0.0233\\\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can model the number of defective sets in the group of TV sets (variable x) as a binomial variable, with sample size=3 and probability of success p=2/7≈0.2857.

The probability of k defective sets in the group is:

$P(x=k) = \dbinom{n}{k} p^{k}q^{n-k}$

So, we have this probabilty distribution for x:

$P(x=0) = \dbinom{3}{0} p^{0}q^{3}=1*1*0.3644=0.3644\\\\\\P(x=1) = \dbinom{3}{1} p^{1}q^{2}=3*0.2857*0.5102=0.4373\\\\\\P(x=2) = \dbinom{3}{2} p^{2}q^{1}=3*0.0816*0.7143=0.1749\\\\\\P(x=3) = \dbinom{3}{3} p^{3}q^{0}=1*0.0233*1=0.0233\\\\\\$
