Answer:
37 dimes and 10 nickels
Step-by-step explanation:
let d = # dimes
let n = # nickels
we can set up a system of equations:
n + d = 47
.05n + .10d = 4.2
if we solve the first equation for 'n' we get:
n = 47-d
now we can substitute this in for 'n' in the second equation:
.05(47-d) + .10d = 4.2
2.35 - .05d + .10d = 4.2
2.35 + .05d = 4.2
subtract 2.35 from each side to get:
.05d = 1.85
d = 1.85÷.05
d = 37
if d+n = 47 and d=37 then n = 10
Check:
.05(10) + .1(37) should equal 4.2
.50 + 3.7 = 4.2 [It Checks Out]
Answer:
a. 
b. 
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for calculate the area of a rectangle is:
Where "l" is the lenght and "w" is the width
a. We know that the kitchen measures 3.75 meters by 4.2 meters; then we can say that:
Therefore, substituting these values into the formula, we get that the area of the kitchen is:
b. The area of the living room is one and a half times (1.5 times) that of the kitchen, this is:
Therefore, the total of the living room and the kitchen is:
They have to be straight line objects with no curves
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A quadratic in factored form is usually expressed as: 
where the sign of a and b depends on the sign of the zero. And I said "usually" since sometimes the x will have a coefficient. Anyways in the quadratic there are two zeroes at x=-1 and x=3. This can be written as: 
. Notice how the signs are different? This is because when you plug in -1 as x you get a factor of (-1+1) which becomes 0 and it makes the entire thing zero since when you multiply by 0, you get 0. Same thing for the x-3 if you plug in x=3. Now a is in front and it can influence the stretch/compression. To find the value of a, you can take any point (except for the zeroes, because it will make the entire thing zero, and you can technically input anything in as a)
I'll use the point (1, -4) the vertex
-4 = a(1+1)(1-3)
-4 = a(2)(-2)
-4 = -4a
1 = a. So yeah the value of a is 1
So the equation is just:
