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

Find where the equation is undefined ( when the denominator is equal to 0.

Since they say x = 5, replace x in the equation see which ones equal o:

5-5 = 0


So we know the denominator has to be (x-5), this now narrows it down to the first two answers.


To find the horizontal asymptote, we need to look at an equation for a rational function: R(x) = ax^n / bx^m, where n is the degree of the numerator and m is the degree of the denominator.


In the equations given neither the numerator or denominators have an exponent ( neither are raised to a power)

so the degrees would be equal.

Since they are equal the horizontal asymptote is the y-intercept, which is given as -2.


This makes the first choice the correct answer.

Which of the following reveals the minimum value for the equation 2x^2 − 4x − 2 = 0?
12345 [234]

Answer:

2(x-1)^{2}=4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The options of the question are</em></u>

2(x − 1)2 = 4

2(x − 1)2 = −4

2(x − 2)2 = 4

2(x − 2)2 = −4

we have

2x^{2} -4x-2=0

This is a vertical parabola open upward

The vertex represent the minimum value

The quadratic equation in vertex form is

y=a(x-h)^2+k

where

a is a coefficient

(h,k) is the vertex

so

Convert the quadratic equation in vertex form

Factor 2 leading coefficient

2(x^{2} -2x)-2=0

Complete the squares

2(x^{2} -2x+1)-2-2=0

2(x^{2} -2x+1)-4=0

Rewrite as perfect squares

2(x-1)^{2}-4=0

The vertex is the point (1,-4)

Move the constant to the right side

2(x-1)^{2}=4
