Answer:

She has 4 quarters, 13 dimes, and 10 nickels in her purse

Step-by-step explanation:

Let q be the amount of quarters, d be the amount of dimes, and n be the amount of nickels she has in her purse. We can use this to set up a system of equations:

25q+10d+5n=280

This is because a quarter is 25 cents, a dime is 10 cents, and a nickel is 5 cents. We also have to convert $2.80 to cents since all our other values are in cents.

d=q+9

She has 9 more dimes than quarters

n=q+6

She has 6 more nickels than quarters

We can solve this system using substitution (substitute q+9 for d and q+6 for n)

25q+10(q+9)+5(q+6)=280

25q+10(q)+10(9)+5(q)+5(6)=280

25q+10q+90+5q+30=280

40q+120=280

Subtract 120 from both sides

40q=160

Divide both sides by 40

q=4

Now we plug this back into the other equations to find the amount of nickels and dimes

d=q+9=4+9=13

n=q+6=4+6=10

She has 4 quarters, 13 dimes, and 10 nickels in her purse

4. Match the polynomial in the left column with its descriptive feature in the
FromTheMoon [43]

Complete question is;

Match the polynomial in the left column with its descriptive feature in the

right column

A.) x³ + 3x² - 2x + 7

B.) 3a³ b ^(6)

C.) 3x⁴ – 9x³ + 5x^(8)

D.) 7a³ b ² + 18ab² c – 9a³

E.) 2x^(5) – 9x³ + 8x^(7)

F.) 4x^(8) – 7x² + 9

G.) x² − 7

I. 9th degree monomial

II. Constant term of −7

III. 7th degree polynomial

IV. Leading coefficient of 4

V. Four terms

VI. 5th degree polynomial

VII. Equivalent to 5x^(8) + 3x⁴ – 9x³

Answer:

A) For polynomial x³ + 3x² - 2x + 7 : Option V - 4 Terms

B) For polynomial 3a³ b ^(6) : option I - 9th degree monomial

C) For the polynomial 3x⁴ – 9x³ + 5x^(8) : Option VII - Equivalent to 5x^(8) + 3x⁴ – 9x³

D) For the polynomial 7a³b² + 18ab²

c – 9a³ : Option VI - 5th degree polynomial.

E) For the polynomial 2x^(5) – 9x³ + 8x^(7) : Option III - 7th degree polynomial.

F) for the polynomial 4x^(8) – 7x² + 9 : Option IV - Leading coefficient of 4

F) For the polynomial x² − 7 : Option II - Constant term of −7

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Most appropriate matching descriptive feature for the polynomial x³ + 3x² - 2x + 7 is Option V - 4 Terms

B) Most appropriate matching descriptive feature for the polynomial 3a³ b ^(6) is option I - 9th degree monomial. This is because the sum of the powers of a and b is 9.

C) Most appropriate matching descriptive feature for the polynomial 3x⁴ – 9x³ + 5x^(8) is Option VII - Equivalent to 5x^(8) + 3x⁴ – 9x³

D) Most appropriate matching descriptive feature for the polynomial 7a³ b ² + 18ab² c – 9a³ is Option VI - 5th degree polynomial. This is because the highest sum of powers attached to a and b in a figure is 2 + 3 = 5.

E) Most appropriate matching descriptive feature for the polynomial 2x^(5) – 9x³ + 8x^(7) is Option III - 7th degree polynomial. This is because the highest power of x is 7.

F) Most appropriate matching descriptive feature for the polynomial 4x^(8) – 7x² + 9 is Option IV: Leading coefficient of 4. This is because the coefficient attached to the largest power of x is 4.

G) Most appropriate matching descriptive feature for the polynomial

x² − 7 is Option II - Constant term of −7

Find the slope of the line through points (4, 6) and (-6,2).
Pie

Answer: Slope = 2/5

Concept:

Here, we need to know how to find the slope.

Slope = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

If you are still confused, please refer to the attachment below for a clearer version of the formula

Solve:

<u>Given information</u>

(x₁, y₁) = (-6, 2)

(x₂, y₂) = (4, 6)

<u>Given formula</u>

Slope = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

<u>Substitute values into the formula</u>

Slope = (6 - 2) / (4 - (-6))

<u>Simplify values in the parentheses</u>

<u>REMEMBER to change [+, -] signs when there is a [-] sign in front</u>

Slope = 4 / (4 + 6)

Slope = 4 / 10

<u>Divide both numerator and denominator by 2 to get the simplest form</u>

Slope = (4 ÷ 2) / (10 ÷ 2)

Slope = 2/5

Hope this helps!! :)
