Answer:

  • 39 quarters and 41 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of quarters be x and nickels be y.

<u>Given:</u>

  • Quarter is 25 cents
  • Nickel is 5 cents
  • Number of coins is 80
  • Total amount is $11.80 = 1180 cents

<u>We have equations:</u>

  • x + y = 80
  • 25x + 5y = 1180

<u>Solve the system by elimination, subtract 5 times the first equation from the second one:</u>

  • 25x + 5y - 5x - 5y = 1180 - 80*5
  • 20x = 780
  • x = 780/20
  • x = 39

<u>Find the value of y:</u>

  • 39 + y = 80
  • y = 80 - 39y = 41

<u>Verify:</u>

  • 25*39 + 5*41 = 975 + 205 = 1180

A model rocket is launched with an initial velocity of 200 ft per second. The height h, in feet, of the rocket t seconds after t
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

2.10 s, 10.40 s.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the height of the rocket is given by the function:

h=-16t^2+200t

We are asked to find the time for which the height of the rocket will be 350 ft. So, for that moment, we know the height but we don't know the time; however, we know that the equation can help us to find the time, doing h=350:

350=-16t^2+200t

The last is a quadratic equation, which can be put in the form at^2+bt+c=0 and solved applying the formula:

t=\frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

So, let's put the equation on the form at^2+bt+c=0 adding 16t^2 and subtracting 200t to each side of the equation; the result is:

16t^2-200t+350=0

So, we note that a=16, b=-200, and c=350.

Then,

t_1=\frac{200-\sqrt{200^2-4*16*350} }{2*16}=2.10

t_2=\frac{200+\sqrt{200^2-4*16*350} }{2*16}=10.40

According to the equation, that are the times for which the height will be 350 ft; that is because the rocket is going to ascend and then to fail again to the ground.
