Answer:

4 coins

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's find out how much she gave the teller:

2($20)=$40

Now, let's find out how much change the teller owes her:

$40.00-$39.63=$0.37 or 37 cents

The largest coin (under 37 cents), is a quarter which is worth 25 cents...

37-25=12 cents

The largest coin (under 12 cents), is a dime which is worth 10 cents...

12-10=2

The largest coin (under 2 cents), is a penny which is worth 1 cent...

2-1=1

And one more penny...

1-1=0

Therefore the fewest amount of coins she can get in change are a quarter, a dime, and two pennies, which is 4 coins.

Find the value of c so that the polynomial p(x) is divisible by (x-3). p(x) =-x^3+cx^2-4x+3. c=?

Vilka [71]

Answer:

$\boxed{\textsf {The value of c is $\sf \dfrac{-14}{3}$. }}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial is given to us . We need to find the value of c so that it is divisible by (x-3 ) .The given polynomial to us is ,

$\sf \implies p(x)=- x^3+cx^2-4x+3$

And the factor is ,

$\sf \implies g(x) = x + 3$

Now , according to factor theorem , p(x) will be divisible by g(x) if p(-3) = 0

$\sf \implies p(x)= - x^3+cx^2-4x+3 \\\\\implies\sf p(-3) = 0 \\\\\sf\implies -(-3)^3+c(-3)^2-4(-3)+3 = 0 \\\\\sf\implies 27 + 9c +12+3=0 \\\\\sf\implies 9c +42=0 \\\\\sf\implies 9c = (-42) \\\\\sf\implies c = \dfrac{-42}{9}\\\\\sf\implies \boxed{\pink{\sf c = \dfrac{-14}{3}}}$
