Pirate Jack has an equal number of gold and silver coins. If Pirate Jack splits all of his coins into 7 equal piles for his parr

ots, he has 4 coins left. Or, if he splits all of his coins into 11 equal piles for his shipmates, he has 4 coins left. Assuming every pile has at least 1 coin, what is the least possible number of coins Pirate Jack has?

Answer:

The least possible number of coins that Pirate Jack has is 77.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) let the number of coins in the piles for the parrots be x.

ii) therefore we can say that the total number of coins be 7x + 4

iii) let the number of coins in the piles for for the pirates be y.

iv) therefore we can say that the total number of coins be 11y + 4

v) therefore we can say that 7x + 4 = 11y + 4

vi) therefore 7x = 11y

vii) therefore the least possible number of coins that Pirate Jack has is equal to the LCM of 11 and 7 which is 77.

viii) x = 11 and  y = 7

which are the roots of the quadratic function f(b) = b2 – 75? check all that apply. b = 5 square root of 3 b = -5 square root of
malfutka [58]
<span>The answers are b = 5 square root of 3; b = -5 square root of 3. f(b) = b^2 – 75. If f(b) = 0, then b^2 – 75 ) 0. b^2 = 75. b = √75. b = √(25 * 3). b = √25 * √3. b = √(5^2) * √3. Since √x is either -x or x, then √25 = √(5^2) is either -5 or 5. Therefore. b = -5√3 or b = 5√3.</span>

Pooja's plant began sprouting 2days before Pooja bought it, and she had it for 98 days until it died. At its tallest, the plant
taurus [48]

Given that function H(t) models the height of Pooja's plant (in centimeters) where t is the number of days after she bought it.

Now we have to find about which number type is more appropriate for the domain of h. That means what values can be taken by the variable "t".

Since t is number of days not the hours so t will not use decimal or fraction values. It can use integer values for the number of days.

Since time is counted after she bought the plant then number of days will be positive.

Hence answer for the type of domain can be positive integers or you can say integers greater than or equal to 0.

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

25 Inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the table:

\left|\begin{array}{c|c|c|c|c}\text{Number of Inches}&2&10&&40\\\text{Number of Centimeters}&5.08&25.04&63.5&101.6\end{array}\right|

We want to determine the missing value on the table.

Let the missing value be x.

1 inch = 2.54 cm

x inch = 63.5

Expressing the above as a ratio

\dfrac{1}{x}=\dfrac{2.54}{63.5}  \\$Cross Multiply$\\2.54x=63.5\\$Divide both sides by 2.54$\\x=25 \:Inches

Therefore, the missing value is 25.

The quadratic model f(x)=-5x^2 +200 represents the approximate height, in meters, of a ball x seconds after being dropped. The b
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Third option: 5.48

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic  model that represents the approximate height in meters of the ball f(x)=-5x^2 +200. the time in seconds x, when the ball is 50 meters from the ground can be calculated by substituting f(x)=50 and solving for x.

Then:

50=-5x^2 +200

Subtract 200 from both sides:

-200+50=-5x^2 +200-200\\-150=-5x^2

Divide both sides by -5:

\frac{-150}{-5}=\frac{-5x^2}{-5}\\30=x^2

Apply square root to both sides:

\sqrt{30}=\sqrt{x^2}\\\sqrt{30}=x\\5.48=x

The ball is 50 meters from the ground after about 5.48 seconds.
