Answer:

  • Total value in cents = 51p+5n
  • Total value in dollars = (51p+5n)/100

The answer varies depending if your teacher wants the answer in cents only, or in dollars only.

====================================================

Explanation:

  • p = number of pennies
  • n = number of nickels
  • 2p = number of quarters, since we have twice as many quarters compared to pennies.

Based on that, we know,

  • p = number of cents from the pennies (1 penny = 1 cent)
  • 5n = number of cents from the nickels (5 nickels = 5 cents, multiply both sides by n)
  • 25(2p) = 50p = number of cents from the quarters

and ultimately

p+5n+50p = 51p+5n

represents the total value of all the coins, and this value is in cents. We would divide by 100 to convert from cents to dollars. So we can say that 51p+5n cents = (51p+5n)/100 dollars

----------------

As an example, let's say

  • p = 4
  • n = 5

So we have

  • p = 4 pennies
  • n = 5 nickels
  • q = 2p = 2*4 = 8 quarters

This would mean we have

  • p = 4 cents from the pennies only
  • 5n = 5*5 = 25 cents from the nickels only
  • 25q = 25*8 = 200 cents from the quarters only

Overall we have p+5n+25q = 4+25+200 = 229 cents which converts to 229/100 = $2.29

We can also say 51p+5n = 51*4+5*5 = 204+25 = 229 which is a slight shortcut to get the same result (that result being in cents).

Please help me with question 2

Answer:

sin(-a)= -15 /17

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets remember that sin(x) is odd function, which means that

wherever you watch an expression like this: sin(-a), you can use the odd functions property, and turn it like the following

sin(-a)= - sin(a)

Now, other thing to remember: (sin(x))^{2}+(cos(x))^{2}=1

So, we can obtain any value for sin(x) function starting from the opposite function, cos(x), using the following:

sin(x)=\sqrt{1-(cos(x))^{2} }

So, if cos(a)= - 8 / 17, using the above equation we obtain the value for sin(a)

sin(a)=\sqrt{1 - (cos(a))^{2} } = \sqrt{1 - ( \frac{8}{17} )^{2}  }= \sqrt{\frac{225}{289} }  =15/17

Using the odd function property, we get the following result

sin(-a)= - sin(a) = -15/17
