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

What value, written as a decimal, should Lena use as the common ratio?
inn [45]

Answer:

an=1*2.5^(n-1)

=2.5^(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete question below:

What value, written as a decimal, should Lena use as the common ratio? Lena is asked to write an explicit formula for the graphed geometric sequence. On a coordinate plane, 3 points are plotted. The points are (1, 1), (2, 2.5), (3, 6.25).

Solution

Point (1, 1), (2, 2.5), (3, 6.25).

a=1

ar=2.5

ar^2=6.25

From ar and ar^2

r=6.25/2.5

=2.5

r=2.5

an=ar^(n-1)

Therefore, the explicit formula is

an=1*2.5^(n-1)

=2.5^(n-1)

***Question is on the picture ​
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

M(4, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Reflecting over the x-axis is simple:

If the x is positive, the reflection would be negative and vice versa.

In this case, the <em>y </em>isn't affected since it's only reflecting over the x-axis.

So, M is at the coordinates (4, -3)
