Mike, a Salvation Army bell ringer, has 20% as many quarters as nickels in his cup. If Mike has $6.00 in quarters and nickels, how many nickels does he have?

Answers

Answer 1

5.8 Nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x rep no of Nickels in Mike's cup

Then x - 0.2 = Number of quarters in Mike's cup

0.2x = Amount of money that mike has from the nickels

1 ( x - 0.2) = Amount of money that Mike has from the quarter

Then,

0.2x + 1 (x - 0.2) = 6

Expand the bracket

0.2x + x - 0.2x = 6

x = 6

Recall

x - 0.2 = 0

6 - 0.2 = 5.8

Therefore, Mike has 5.8 nickels for the quarter

Answers

Answer:

[tex]U = x[/tex]

[tex]V=10[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex](x +3)^2 + 14(x + 3) + 49 = (U + V)^2[/tex]

Required

Find U and V

We have:

[tex](x +3)^2 + 14(x + 3) + 49 = (U + V)^2[/tex]

Expand

[tex]x^2 + 6x + 9 + 14x + 42 + 49 = (U + V)^2[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]x^2 + 6x + 14x + 9 + 42 + 49 = (U + V)^2[/tex]

[tex]x^2 + 20x + 100 = (U + V)^2[/tex]

Expand

[tex]x^2 + 10x + 10x + 100 = (U + V)^2[/tex]

Group

[tex][x^2 + 10x] + [10x + 100] = (U + V)^2[/tex]

Factorize each group

[tex]x[x + 10] + 10[x + 10] = (U + V)^2[/tex]

Factor out x + 10

[tex][x + 10][x + 10] = (U + V)^2[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex][x + 10]^2 = (U + V)^2[/tex]

By comparison

[tex]U = x[/tex]

The total cost of 2 bracelets and 3 necklaces is $15.50. The total cost of 4 bracelets and 1 necklace is $13.50. Let b represent the cost of each bracelet and n represent the cost of each necklace. This situation can be represented by the following system of equations.

{2b+3n=15.504b+n=13.50

What is the cost of one bracelet?

A
$2.50

B
$7.75

C
$5.00

D
$3.50

Answers

Answer:

A

$2.50

Step-by-step explanation:

b = cost of bracelet

n = cost of necklace

2b+3n = 15.50

4b+1n = 13.50

Multiply the first equation by -2

-4b -6n = -31

4b +n = 13.50

---------------------------

-5n = -17.50

Divide each side by -5

-5n/-5 = -17.5/-5

n = 3.50

Now we can find b

4b+n = 13.50

4b+3.50 = 13.50

4b+3.50-3.50 = 13.50 -3.50

4b = 10

Divide by 4

4b/4 = 10/4

b = 2.50

How do I find x and y?

Answers

Answer:

x = 20

y = 70

Step-by-step explanation:

Since B and D are parallel :

6x - 10 + 3x + 10 = 180 add/subtract like terms

9x = 180 divide both sides by 9

x = 20

angle represented by y and 6x - 10 are supplementary and their sum is 180

y + 6x - 10 = 180 replace x with 20

y + 6*20 - 10 = 180

y + 120 - 10 = 180

y + 110 = 180 subtract 110 from both sides

y = 70

Find all three distinct roots for X³ =1. (two of them are complex mumber). And show that sum of all roots is zero.​

Answers

x ³ = 1

x ³ - 1 = 0

x ³ - 1³ = 0

Factorize the right side as a difference of cubes:

(x - 1) (x ² + x + 1) = 0

Then

x - 1 = 0   or   x ² + x + 1 = 0

The first equation yields x = 1 as a root.

For the other equation, rearrange and complete the square to get the other two roots,

x ² + x + 1/4 = -3/4

(x + 1/2)² = -3/4

x + 1/2 = ±√(-3/4) = ± i √3/2

x = -1/2 ± i √3/2

x = (-1 ± i √3)/2

Since complex roots occurs in conjugate pairs, taking the sum of these two roots eliminates the imaginary part:

(-1 + i √3)/2 + (-1 - i √3)/2 = (-1 - 1)/2 = -2/2 = -1

and adding to 1 indeed shows that the sum of roots is zero.

Does anyone know the answer plz ?

Answers

Answer:

x = 5; y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

One angle is a right angle, so its measure is 90 degrees.

One angle measures 45 degrees, so the unknown angle must also measure 45 degrees.

x and y are opposite two 45-degree angles, so x = y.

In a 45-45-90 triangle, the ratio of the lengths of the sides is

1 : 1 : sqrt(2)

We have

x : y : 5sqrt(2)

x/1 = 5sqrt(2)/sqrt(2)

x = 5

y = 5

A2 = 7.5 in²

For the shorter rectangle, the area is;

Use the box plots comparing the number of males and number of females attending the latest superhero movie each day for a month to answer the questions.

Part B: Estimate the difference between the median values of each data set. (2 points)

Part C: Describe the distribution of the data and if the mean or median would be a better measure of center for each. (4 points)

Part D: Provide a possible reason for the outlier in the data set. (2 points)

Answers

Answer:

The formula for iqr is q3 - q1

24

Step-by-step explanation:

The box plot is a visual way of presenting a dataset where the rectangle is used to represent the quartiles.

The IQR of the male dataset is 24.The difference in median of both datasets is 14.The best measure of center to use for the female box plot is the median. The best measure of center to use for the male box plot is the mean.A possible reason for an outlier is human error.

The given parameters are:

Male:                                                               Female

[tex]Minimum = 0[/tex]                                                 [tex]Minimum = 0[/tex]

[tex]Q_1 = 1[/tex]                                                              [tex]Q_1 = 5[/tex]

[tex]Median = 20[/tex]                                                    [tex]Median = 6[/tex]

[tex]Q_3 = 25[/tex]                                                            [tex]Q_3 = 10[/tex]

[tex]Maximum = 50[/tex]                                               [tex]Maximum = 18[/tex]

A. IQR  for male dataset

The IQR is calculated as follows:

[tex]IQR = Q_3 - Q_1[/tex]

For the male's data:

[tex]IQR = 25-1[/tex]

[tex]IQR = 24[/tex]

Hence, the IQR of the male dataset is 24.

B. Difference in median values

We have:

[tex]Median = 20[/tex]  ----- Male dataset                                                    

[tex]Median = 6[/tex] ----- Female dataset

So, the difference (d) is:

[tex]d = 20 - 6[/tex]

[tex]d = 14[/tex]

Hence, the difference in median of both dataset is 14.

C. Best measure of center

The female box plot (see attachment) has an outlier. This means that the measure of center to use for the female dataset is the median.

The male box plot has no outlier; this means that the mean can be used as a measure of center for the male box plot

D. Reason for outlier

There are several reasons that could cause an outlier in a dataset. One of the reasons is human error during data entry

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y² = 225 ( take the square root of both sides )

[tex]\sqrt{y^2}[/tex] = ± [tex]\sqrt{225}[/tex]

y = ± 15

That is y = 15, y = - 15

Since 15 × 15 = 225 and - 15 × - 15 = 225

y² = 225

y = √225

y = 15

y²= 225

y = √225

y = -15

y = ±15

Therefore values of y are 15 and -15
